Marine Bloodlines

United States Marines

The ones who went And never returned

This is for

the forgotten brothers

Laced up boots on foreign sand Rifle in a shaking hand Semper

Fi, the oath we swore Walking through the fire of war You

were my brother, had my back Now your name is on a

plaque But the world keeps spinning fast Leaving shadows in our past

To the fallen on the hill,

we remember you still Through the smoke and the cold and the

iron will In the silence of the night,

we carry your light For the brotherhood we hold,

for the lives untold They don't see the scars we keep

While the civilian city sleeps Some survived but lost their mind Left

a piece of them behind No parade for where you fell Only

memories of hell But the bond is never dead Every single word

you said

To the fallen on the hill,

we remember you still Through the smoke and the cold and the

iron will In the silence of the night,

we carry your light For the brotherhood we hold,

for the lives untold

Semper Fidelis...

We won't let

your names fade

Rest easy, brother

Never forgotten
