[Verse 1]

I lived the harshest life, walked darkest nights

True veteran, aim, fire, arms precise

Lawless types we took war advice

Bomb ignites, all for the stars and stripes

With cost and price that exceeds the norm

Stay strong and fight, for the peace and calm

Lost with ego, struggling to see the dawn

North Korea or jungles of Vietnam

Squadron leader, the war drum I'm beating on

For fallen soldiers, all my marines is gone

Indeed, lick shots in the breeze for 'em

21 gun salute, couple trees for 'em

[Chorus x2]

And this is veteran's day

Death before dishonor, remember to say

No man left behind though you led us astray

But regardless we celebrating veteran's day

[Verse 2]

I travelled across the frontier

Weapon slung near, vision unclear from desert sun glare

Overcome fear, navigate fortresses

You're unprepared, I calculate coordinates

We're warriors, it's a blaze of glory

Read glorious pages of our story

I record this for those that came before me

Lost souls exposed to navy and army

Traders swarmed me, used my accomplices

I slid surely and move like reconnaisance

And now to flee maneuver through the ominous

The powers that be still subduing the populace

We conquerers, on an expedition

Check precision, mind like a weapon system

Marx, veteran from the death division

Forward march onto the next mission

[Chorus x2]

And this is veteran's day

Death before dishonor, remember to say

No man left behind though you led us astray

But regardless we celebrating veteran's day
