"I Salute You" lyrics

Standing in the smoke of the afterglow
Silence in the air when horizons start to show
Marching all the way and you had our backs
No one left behind, you were loyal to the last

There were bullets everywhere when the sirens cried
Never ran away, didn't fear a fight
Keeping our faith - we made it home alive

Now I, I salute you
In dignity I quit the field with pride
Yeah I, I salute you
Come on, wave the flag and hold it to the sky
To everyone who stood with us
I bow my head, thanks for your trust
Now I, I salute you
With honor we are standing tall
The mission would have failed without you all - I salute you

Fingers to my brow when the cannons shoot
Echoes like a drum from the 21-gun salute
Riding on the flames, we were meant to rock
Brotherhood of choice, never thought of giving up

There were bullets everywhere when the sirens cried
Never ran away, didn't fear a fight
Keeping our faith - we made it home alive

Now I, I salute you
In dignity I quit the field with pride
Yeah I, I salute you
Come on, wave the flag and hold it to the sky
To everyone who stood with us
I bow my head, thanks for your trust
Now I, I salute you
With honor we are standing tall
The mission would have failed without you all - I salute you
