The Snow White Rows of Arlington
There are a lot of perfect reasons
To never fight another war
There are a lot of perfect questions
As to what's worth fighting for
There are a lot of perfect fools
Who refuse to read the writing on the wall
But the truth is there are people
Who've made it crystal clear
That it is their holy mission
To destroy all we hold dear
They are visibly out searching for the fire
To make this towing nation fall
Now we can just sit back and wait
Until they spill more precious blood
Or we can seek these cowards out
And nip their slaughter in the bud
Audios sweet home and family
I'm off to fight a war that must be won
You'll know why I'm going when you see
The snow white rows of Arlington
Every blade of grass is sacred
Every headstone is a shrine
To somebody who was willing
To put existence on the line
The liberty we take for granted
Was purchased with their patriotic lives
Are their sleeping spirits restless?
Do they listen for the sound?
Of the mustering of armies
To defend their hallowed ground?
Will we rise to the occasion
To ensure their legacy survives?
Through the willows blow soft breezes
They are whispering my name
Asking did they die for nothing?
Aren't I the keeper of the flame?
Audios sweet home and family
Wave goodbye to your Louisiana son
You will know why I'm leaving when you see
The snow white rows of Arlington
Audios sweet home and family
Wave goodbye to your Louisiana son
And if it be my fate you'll find me
Proudly sleeping in the snow white,
When you see the snow white rows of Arlington
To never fight another war
There are a lot of perfect questions
As to what's worth fighting for
There are a lot of perfect fools
Who refuse to read the writing on the wall
But the truth is there are people
Who've made it crystal clear
That it is their holy mission
To destroy all we hold dear
They are visibly out searching for the fire
To make this towing nation fall
Now we can just sit back and wait
Until they spill more precious blood
Or we can seek these cowards out
And nip their slaughter in the bud
Audios sweet home and family
I'm off to fight a war that must be won
You'll know why I'm going when you see
The snow white rows of Arlington
Every blade of grass is sacred
Every headstone is a shrine
To somebody who was willing
To put existence on the line
The liberty we take for granted
Was purchased with their patriotic lives
Are their sleeping spirits restless?
Do they listen for the sound?
Of the mustering of armies
To defend their hallowed ground?
Will we rise to the occasion
To ensure their legacy survives?
Through the willows blow soft breezes
They are whispering my name
Asking did they die for nothing?
Aren't I the keeper of the flame?
Audios sweet home and family
Wave goodbye to your Louisiana son
You will know why I'm leaving when you see
The snow white rows of Arlington
Audios sweet home and family
Wave goodbye to your Louisiana son
And if it be my fate you'll find me
Proudly sleeping in the snow white,
When you see the snow white rows of Arlington
