Lions of Kandahar
My deployment starts today
I told my wife I'd be okay
I told my daughter I'd come home
Please don't worry when I'm gone
And I waved goodbye in the parade
With my men we walked away
And when our boots hit the ground
I knew it wouldn't be long now
At the Lions of Kandahar
And we rang hell down on those men
As we advanced again
Cut em down against all odds
No matter what the cost
At the Lions of Kandahar
New orders came around
For us to take the higher ground
And defend it with our lives
And I feared we'd pay a price
And my boys they fell right in
They trusted me again
I knew I couldn't let em down
We'd come to far now
At the Lions of Kandahar
Raining hell down on those men
As we advanced again
Cut them down against all odds
No matter what the cost
At the Lions of Kandahar
Civilian life ain't easy
After what I've seen and done
I still hear the choppers coming
Still hear the thumping of those guns
And they tell us that we're alright
So scared to hear the truth
When I close my eyes at night
I'm right back in the fight
With the Lions of Kandahar
Raining hell down on those men
As we advanced again
Cut them down against all odds
No matter what the cost
At the Lions of Kandahar
We cut them down against all odds
No matter what the cost
At the Lions of Kandahar
