Testi
[Verse 1]
Smoke over Quincy
Fire down by the bay
Whispers in the settlements
“They’re comin’ up this way…”
Green giants in the ruins
Roarin’ through the rain
Every farm and crooked farmhouse
Shook and spoke his name
[Chorus]
To the heart of Old Boston
Where the old bricks bleed
Rides a steel-clad savior
On a stubborn, rumblin’ steed
Raise that flag, my brother
Blue coat in the storm
With the Minutemen standin’ shoulder to shoulder
He keeps the Commonwealth warm
[Verse 2]
Heard ‘em out in Concord
Banging on the gates
Children hiding under beds
Countin’ on his plates
Rust upon the rebar
Shadows ten feet tall
Till that thunder in the roadway
Drove straight through it all (hey!)
[Chorus]
To the heart of Old Boston
Where the old bricks bleed
Rides a steel-clad savior
On a stubborn, rumblin’ steed
Raise that flag, my brother
Blue coat in the storm
With the Minutemen standin’ shoulder to shoulder
He keeps the Commonwealth warm
[Bridge]
He says “I ain’t leavin’
Not while they still run”
Every settler is his family
Every sunrise won
So when that siren’s callin’
And your courage starts to bend
You’ll see that armored silhouette
Comin’ ‘round the bend (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
To the heart of Old Boston
Where the old bricks bleed
Rides a steel-clad savior
On a stubborn, rumblin’ steed
Raise that flag, my brother
Blue coat in the storm
With the Minutemen drivin’ back the monsters
He keeps the Commonwealth warm
Smoke over Quincy
Fire down by the bay
Whispers in the settlements
“They’re comin’ up this way…”

To the heart of Old Boston
Where the old bricks bleed
Rides a steel-clad savior
On a stubborn, rumblin’ steed
Raise that flag, my brother

With the Minutemen standin’ shoulder to shoulder

Stile di musica
country, Country-tinged heroic ballad with male vocals, bright acoustic guitar and steady kick on the verses; big, melodic choruses with soaring fiddle, harmony stacks, and ringing electric swells. Tempo mid-up, riding rhythm like a march on horseback, with breakdown bridge that drops to voice and guitar before a final, triumphant build with full band and gang vocals on the last hook.
