[Intro]

Far from their land as they made their stand

They stood strong and the legend still lives on


[Verse 1]

1918 the Great War rages on

A battalion is lost in the Argonne

Under fire there's nothing they can do

There's no way they can get a message through


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Suffer heavy losses as the battle carries on

Liberty Division standing strong


[Chorus]

Far from their land as they made their stand

A disregarded demand

It's surrender or die and the stakes are high

They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye

Weapon in hand as they made their stand

Still disregarding demand

They would never comply, they would rather die

Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved


[Verse 2]

Friendly fire, munitions running low

The supplies, they were dropped upon their foe

1918 the war still rages on

The battalion still trapped in the Argonne


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Chose not to surrender, they chose victory or defeat

Fallen brothers resting by their feet


[Chorus]

Far from their land as they made their stand

A disregarded demand

It's surrender or die and the stakes are high

They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye

Weapon in hand as they made their stand

Still disregarding demand

They would never comply, they would rather die

Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

Far from their land as they made their stand

A disregarded demand

It's surrender or die and the stakes are high

Live or die, who can tell there's no goodbye

With a weapon in hand as they made their stand

Still disregarding demand

They would never comply, they would rather die

They stood strong and the legend still lives on


[Pre-Chorus 3]

Suffered heavy losses through the Great War they stood strong

But the memory of the fallen still lives on


[Chorus]

Far from their land as they made their stand

A disregarded demand

It's surrender or die and the stakes are high

They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye

Weapon in hand as they made their stand

Still disregarding demand

They would never comply, they would rather die

Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
