Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Far from their land as they made their stand
They stood strong and the legend still lives on
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Suffer heavy losses as the battle carries on
Liberty division standing strong
[Verse 4]
Far from their land as they made their stand
A disregarded demand
It's surrender or die and the stakes are high
They live and they die, there's no time for goodbye
[Verse 5]
Weapon in hand as they made their stand
Still disregarded demand
They would never comply, they would rather die
Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
[Verse 6]
Friendly fire, munitions running low
The supplies, they were dropped upon their foe
[Verse 7]
1918, the war still rages on
Their battalion's still trapped in the Argonne
Chose not to surrender, they chose victory or defeat
Fallen brothers resting by their feet
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Weapon in hand as they made their stand
Still disregarded demand
They would never comply, they would rather die
Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
[Verse 10]
Far from their land as they made their stand
A disregarded demand
It's surrender or die and the stakes are high
They will die, you can tell there's no goodbye
[Verse 11]
With a weapon in hand as they made their stand
Still disregarded demand
They would never comply, they would rather die
They stood strong and the legend still lives on
[Verse 12]
Suffered heavy losses, through the great war they stood strong
But the memory of the fallen still lives on
[Verse 13]
Far from their land as they made their stand
A disregarded demand
It's surrender or die and the stakes are high
They live and they die, there's no time for goodbye
[Verse 14]
Weapon in hand as they made their stand
Still disregarded demand
They would never comply, they would rather die
Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
