Philosophy Resurrected - Semper Fi (A Marine Corps Journey) Lyrics

Born in seventeen seventy-five their journey began
Marines forged in fire to protect their homeland
From the halls of Montezuma to Tripoli's shores
They fought with valor through wars and more
Battles like storms across Guadalcanal they roared
Against the odds they held their ground and soared
From Iwo Jima's sands to the flag on Suribachi's height
Marines fought on their courage a beacon in the night
Chosin Reservoir in the frozen grasp they fought
Through bitter cold where bravery was wrought
Facing death's icy grip they pressed on with might
Hell frozen over yet they emerged in the light
Battles like storms echoed with their battle cries
In Vietnam's crucible where hope never dies
They fought in shadows where danger would loom
Marines in the fray amid the urban gloom
Desert Storm's fury across Kuwait's desert expanse
Marines stormed the sands in a deadly dance
From Fallujah's streets to Marjah's rugged land
They marched with purpose with a steady hand Hand
Through history's echoes their valor rings true
In the heart of the fight where few dare to pursue
From conflicts past to battles yet to come
Marines stand ready till the war's last drum
In the annals of courage their story will endure
United States Marines steadfast and pure
From Belleau Wood's blaze to the sands of far-off shores
Their legacy lives on forevermore In the Lord!
