MAKE A STAND

Words I did not want to hear
Echoed loudly in my ear
Ambushed in a foreign land
There came the call to make a stand

No warning given we did learn
That fire can teach you as you burn
The shattered silence, fear did reign
I never knew there was much pain

And yes it still amazes me
How twisted times reality
What seemed like hours, seconds spent
The guns fell silent, heaven sent

Sometimes you have to stand your ground
No matter how it’s going down
We grabbed our souls and held on tight
‘Cause Hades came to play that night
