From the recording American Armed Forces "Tribute"
Lyrics
From the halls where eagles soar so high,
To the shores where waves meet sand and sky,
They stand as one, forever strong and true,
Wearing scarlet, gold, and navy blue.
Semper Fidelis, always faithful, always brave,
From the first recruit to every life they gave,
Honor, courage, commitment guide the way,
Marines stand ready, come what may.
Through the trials in the crucible's fire,
Forging warriors who never tire,
Brothers, sisters, bound by sacred creed,
Answering the call in times of need.
Semper Fidelis, always faithful, always brave,
From the first recruit to every life they gave,
Honor, courage, commitment guide the way,
Marines stand ready, come what may.
Devil dogs who never break their line,
First to fight when freedom's on the line,
From Iwo Jima to the battles yet unknown,
The few, the proud, have made their courage shown.
Semper Fidelis, always faithful, always brave,
From the first recruit to every life they gave,
Honor, courage, commitment guide the way,
Marines stand ready, every day.
