Shooting, running, and bleeding
Take the glory of succeeding.
The final man falls
We have made it over the violent walls
All the blood has ended
And no one is offended.
We have victory and loss
But we made it across.
We made it through the bad and hard times
And we have fixed all of the crimes
Together we fall or not at all
And together we soar
This was once a war.
