General of Minutemen

[Verse 1]
He walked out the gate at dawn
Dust on his boots, flag torn
Said the line had been crossed too far
Under that broken Commonwealth star

[Verse 2]
He raised a map on a cracked old crate
Called out names at the settlement gate
Old hands came in from field and road
With rifle shoulders and stories told

[Pre-Chorus]
Said the past ain't gone
It's alive in you
If you still believe
Then we push on through

[Chorus]
Go Patriots, fight Barbarians
Go Patriots, fight Barbarians
Free this land, take it back tonight
Hold that line and make it right

[Verse 3]
Moms with patches on denim coats
Farmboys tightening their throats
Every old heart that still burns red
Heard that call and raised their heads

[Verse 4]
From Concord stone to the river bend
They stood up tall with a common end
No more fear at the shattered door
They bled for home and asked for more

[Pre-Chorus]
Said the past ain't gone
It's alive in you
If you still believe
Then we push on through

[Chorus]
Go Patriots, fight Barbarians
Go Patriots, fight Barbarians
Free this land, take it back tonight
Hold that line and make it right

[Bridge]
Let the broken world remember
How the common folk stood together
When the smoke rose up like prayer
They found their backbone there

[Final Chorus]
Go Patriots, fight Barbarians
Go Patriots, fight Barbarians
General of Minutemen
Leads us home again
Free this land, take it back tonight
Hold that line and make it right
