Remember the Alamo

Описание: The Battle of the Alamo was a pivotal early fight in the Texas Revolution in 1836. A small force of Texian and Tejano defenders fortified the Alamo Mission in San Antonio and held out for thirteen days against a much larger Mexican army. The defenders were ultimately overrun and killed, but their stand became a powerful symbol of resistance. The battle’s rallying cry helped inspire Texian forces to continue the fight, leading to victory and independence for Texas later that year.

REMEMBER THE ALAMO

Stone walls sweating under a burning sky
Dust in our lungs, no place left to hide
Boots in the courtyard, hands on steel
We know what’s coming, we know what’s real
They ring the mission like a closing grave
Thousands march, but none of us break
We count the hours by cannon flame
Every sunrise calls our names

No retreat, no mercy given
This ground is where the line is driven

REMEMBER THE ALAMO
WRITE OUR NAMES IN FIRE AND BLOOD
STAND OR FALL, WE DIE AS ONE
OUTNUMBERED, NEVER UNDONE
REMEMBER THE ALAMO
WHEN THE FINAL SHOT IS GONE
LET THE SILENCE CARRY HOME
THE MEN WHO HELD THE ALAMO

Letters folded, prayers half-spoken
Promises made, already broken
Some fought for land, some fought for law
Some fought for brothers beside them all
Night brings drums from the enemy line
A thousand hearts beating out of time
No banners left, no hope of relief
Only iron, powder, and belief

If dawn must come, then let it see
Men who chose eternity

REMEMBER THE ALAMO
WRITE OUR NAMES IN FIRE AND BLOOD
STAND OR FALL, WE DIE AS ONE
OUTNUMBERED, NEVER UNDONE
REMEMBER THE ALAMO
WHEN THE FINAL SHOT IS GONE
LET THE SILENCE CARRY HOME
THE MEN WHO HELD THE ALAMO

Cold stone… cracked hands…
No surrender, no command
This is more than flesh and bone
This is legend being born

Hear the walls begin to scream
Steel and smoke erase the dream

They breach the gates, the morning breaks
Bayonets like falling stakes
Room to room, the fight turns wild
Every inch is bought and paid
If this is death, then let it know
We did not kneel, we did not bow
Let history decide the cost
We are not lost—we are the loss

REMEMBER THE ALAMO
WRITE OUR NAMES IN FIRE AND BLOOD
STAND OR FALL, WE DIE AS ONE
OUTNUMBERED, NEVER UNDONE
REMEMBER THE ALAMO
WHEN THE FINAL SHOT IS GONE
LET THE SILENCE CARRY HOME
THE MEN WHO HELD THE ALAMO

Ash and echoes on the stone
Victory leaves no one alone
But from the ruin, from the flame
A battle cry remains

REMEMBER…
