Old Boston Command

[Verse 1]
The General rode in at dawn
Dust on his leather coat
Old Boston held its breath
While the raiders lost their hope

We ate hard bread and laughed
By the fire and the chain
Then he pointed to the ruins
Said, "We're taking back the name"

[Pre-Chorus]
Boots on the broken stone
Heard that iron prayer
Every road was a wound
Till the General got us there

[Chorus]
Oh General, Brave General
We're all at your command
Oh General, Brave General
We will hold this land
Cleanse the Commonwealth
Raise the torch again
Oh General, Brave General
Lead us home, my friend

[Verse 2]
We swept through the subway dark
Through the ash and shattered glass
Every hideout, every ambush
Could not make the line move back

He stood where the flags were torn
Never once bowed low
Said, "A wounded city still can rise
If the people choose to show"

[Pre-Chorus]
Boots on the broken stone
Heard that iron prayer
Every road was a wound
Till the General got us there

[Chorus]
Oh General, Brave General
We're all at your command
Oh General, Brave General
We will hold this land
Cleanse the Commonwealth
Raise the torch again
Oh General, Brave General
Lead us home, my friend

[Bridge]
Let the cold wind carry
What the ruins tried to take
We got names left to remember
And a future we can make

If the night comes hungry
We'll be standing in the line
With the General at our shoulder
And the dawn on our side

[Final Chorus]
Oh General, Brave General
We're all at your command
Oh General, Brave General
We will hold this land
Cleanse the Commonwealth
Raise the torch again
Oh General, Brave General
Lead us home, my friend
