Iced Earth - Valley Forge lyrics

(Schaffer)

Close your eyes and imagine

the soldier at Valley Forge

The suffering that he endured was real

starvation, total war.

Yet in has eyes the iron will to win

and for the cause, he won't relent

(Chorus)

Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust

His politics a birthright and our creed

Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise

Complacency, we're blinded by our greed

Standing barefoot, frozen bloody hands

his musket clutched, an iron grip

and for the cause, he has but one regret,

he's only got one life to give

(Chorus)

Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust

His politics a birthright and our creed

Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise

Complacency, we're blinded by our greed

It's time for us, to open up our eyes,

and cherish the lives we all can have

and to the ones who kept our freedom free

words can't express all that you've done

(Chorus)

Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust

His politics a birthright and our creed

Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise

Complacency, we're blinded by our greed
