Blood of a Recon

Darkness comes over the desert

The night wind flies over me

And I keep fear underneath my feet

The cold steel from my gun feels like an extended part of me

I try not to think of the worst that could happen

I keep my mind on my mission for my band of brothers;

Will me to do my best

For no superman can see me coming

My feet move fast as Ali

My blows come down on you like thunder

And I am as fast as Mr. Lee

For in me runs the Blood of a Recon Marine

A warrior,l a hero, a leader

I bring peace and I fight evil with my soul, sword and gun

We are sent first into the lions den

And we come out victorious in the end

For no one can match me

I am forever changed

Because in me runs...

The Blood of a Recon Marine
