The Glorious Burden lyrics

Hes ruled them for 2

A desperate situation
Forced to retaliation
The task ahead a burden
Men will suffer, thats for certain
Well charge into the fire
The cause, we must inspire
We raise our fists to tyranny
A high price, freedom is not free

The odds are stacked against us
But with our resolve relentless
And arrogance their weakness
Our cause is just, we wont be beaten
Upon this declaration

A warrior down to the depths of my soul
I terrorize evil thats out of control
On land, in the air, at sea
On danger I feed
My war paint, the last thing my enemies see
Their teeth and their ears are trophies for me
On land, in the air, at sea
Ill be where the metal meets the meat
Greenface
Greenface
Lagoons deep in jungles are home for me
The desert nor mountains, they cant hide from me

Lee:
"It was very close, yesterday,
I thought for sure, they would break
But this attack, that I have planned
A massive strike across open land
In the center, they will break (will they break?)
But plan it well, everything's at stake
We'll hit 'em hard, not a silent gun
Before the infantry's begun

"Execute it well,We risk everything"
"It's in God's hands now"

Longstreet:

Just a mile or so away
Is my dearest friend in this world
He wears the blue and I the grey
And God it hurts me so
The last time we were together
I grabbed his hand and I pledged
If I ever draw my sword on you
May the good Lord strike me dead

The union flanks in trouble
To the round top on the double
A bad decision, insubordination
Exposed our line in a dangerous way

The burden lies upon us

Emptiness, consuming me
Head in hands, I can hardly speak
Looking for solitude
Lost in humanity
True knowledge leads to a suffering
A constant quest, an endless dream
Searching for inner peace
Hidden so deep in me

CHORUS:
Dont wanna be a hollow man
Aint gonna be the hollow man
Dont wanna be a hollow man
Aint gonna be the hollow man

Sadness comes knocking constantly

The son of a major, Prussian nobleman
His name bestowed by a holy Roman
The war broke out, so he looked to the air
24 hours of training and he was there

1

In July 1863
A nation torn in tragedy
A trick of fate,Two great armies merge
Gods of war at Gettysburg
Devastation lies ahead
5

CHORUS:
Destinys called us
Its the reckoning
This time its for blood
Dont tread on me
Revenge is not justice
Its the reckoning
This time its for blood
Dont tread on me

You went too far this time
For this heinous crime
You will know defeat
Begging on your knees

One by one youll fall
Your backs against the wall
Nowhere to turn
Youre sure to burn

Destinys called us
Its the reckoning

Close your eyes and imagine
The soldier at Valley Forge
The suffering that he endured was real
Starvation, total war
Yet in his eyes, the iron will to win
And for the cause he wont relent

CHORUS:
Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust?
His providence, our birthright and our creed
Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise?
Complacency, were blinded by our greed

Usher in the rally cries
Revolutions here again
The emperors bonds are broken
As free he shall remain

Escape, through narrow, was demand
While his reign remained in view
This fight for France, till bitter end
He must see it through

Coalition forms of many lands
Against Napoleon, west to east
Dogs of war will take to arms
And soon will be unleashed

Prussian, Russian and Austrian

Verse 1:
Another day just like any other
Out of the blue it turned to horror
How could they?
why would they?

The innocence of a hells inferno
A senseless act that goes unforgotten
How could they?
they will pay.

Chorus:
When the eagle cries
(Blood will flow)
When the eagle cries
(Or freedom starts)
When the eagle cries
(Another soul)
When the eagle cries
(We will sacrifice)

Verse 2:
