We came off these god-damn boats one by one One by one, one by one Yesterday melts around my feet Then today will be tomorrow too quickly We dug the graves of the young and weak We dug from dusk until, well, dusk We fallen will continue to fight To take our little broken lives back Our jaws are sore from screaming in the night Our jaws are sore from screaming Our eyes are bloodshot From keeping them open for twenty-four days With no sleep
We had no sleep, there's no sleep Our bellies are empty In fear of the poison Our faces are shadowed By the stubble that forms around our features We will never eat We will never sleep For this is the day For this is the twenty-fifth day The day that God made war The day of fear, filth, and freedom But we will overcome, we will overcome We will overcome, we'll always overcome (We will overcome) (We will overcome)
