on this earth will walk no more
models of a selfless calling
no greater love worth fighting for
Men and women with a mission,
duty marched on o’er the soil
among the throngs of bitter foes
blood and sweat spilled from their moil….
March on through the night…
Each defended a noble cause,
deeply carved upon their heart
passed the torch of service forward
to all of us to do our part
To take a stand for liberty,
the cost; a great sacrifice
white tombstones each cry silently
“Our peace comes with a price”
March on through the night….
Not made of crinkled parchment white,
but each built of marble strong
etched names of multitudes inscribed
upon this silent face of song
A valiant soldier, sandal clad,
once before had fully shown
that the battle is ne’er lost
the evil one is overthrown
March on through the night…
Let us not discount the payment,
he offered on that tree
when this spotless soldier, the Lamb
gave his life for you and me
Soldiers of a higher calling,
let not any heart recoil
shall such noble gifts be in vain
or blood poured upon our soil?
March on through the night…
Of flesh and bone we each may be,
let us raise our voices high
resonate the song of triumph
lift our banners to the sky
Let us take our cross and follow,
keep the purpose well in sight
may we follow in their footsteps
ne’er give up the fight…..
March on through the night….
