They stood Gmstrong and the Eblegend Fstill lives on

BbUnder fire there's nothing they can do
There's no way they can get a message FthroughGm

GmFar from their land as they made their stand
A EbdisreBbgarded deFmand
It's Gmsurrender or die and the stakes are high
They Eblive or they Bbdie, there's no Gmtime for goodFbye

Still EbdisreBbgarding deFmand
They would Gmnever comply, they would rather die
Broke Ebthrough the bloBbckade, they were Gmfinally Fsaved
