[Verse 1]
Mad revolt came hard
Down that marble hill
Crowds ran wild and loud
With a break-the-door will
But our hearts stood firm
By the winter stone
For the law still lives
And the flag still holds
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that drumline roll
Feel that morning strain
We don’t bend to fear
We don’t feed the flame
When the dark gets close
And the shadows call
We plant our boots
And we stand up tall
[Chorus]
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the line
We stand for order now
We stand for what is mine
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the door
National Guard stands proud
And we hold the floor
(Hands off the Capitol)
[Verse 2]
Blue coats on the steps
Eyes set straight ahead
Shield to shield we rise
Where the good oath led
Every lane was tense
Every voice was strong
But we kept our ground
Where we all belong
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that drumline roll
Feel that morning strain
We don’t bend to fear
We don’t feed the flame
When the dark gets close
And the shadows call
We plant our boots
And we stand up tall
[Chorus]
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the line
We stand for order now
We stand for what is mine
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the door
National Guard stands proud
And we hold the floor
(Hands off the Capitol)
[Bridge]
Let the sirens fade
Let the tempers cool
Truth walks slow and strong
Through the breaking rule
If the crowd wants fire
We bring iron calm
And we guard that dome
Like a sacred farm
[Final Chorus]
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the line
We stand for order now
We stand for what is mine
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the door
National Guard stands proud
And we hold the floor
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the line
We stand for order now
For this home of mine
(Hands off the Capitol)
Mad revolt came hard
Down that marble hill
Crowds ran wild and loud
With a break-the-door will
But our hearts stood firm
By the winter stone
For the law still lives
And the flag still holds
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that drumline roll
Feel that morning strain
We don’t bend to fear
We don’t feed the flame
When the dark gets close
And the shadows call
We plant our boots
And we stand up tall
[Chorus]
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the line
We stand for order now
We stand for what is mine
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the door
National Guard stands proud
And we hold the floor
(Hands off the Capitol)
[Verse 2]
Blue coats on the steps
Eyes set straight ahead

Where the good oath led
Every lane was tense
Every voice was strong

Feel that morning strain
We don’t bend to fear
We don’t feed the flame

And we stand up tall

Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the line

We stand for what is mine
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the door

Let the tempers cool

We stand for what is mine
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the door
National Guard stands proud
And we hold the floor
Hands off the Capitol
Hands off the line
We stand for order now
For this home of mine

Stijl van muziek
Heroic country melodic with a driving mid-tempo stomp, acoustic guitar and low twang bass in the verses; pre-chorus swells with pedal steel and marching snare rolls; chorus opens wide with stacked harmonies, fiddle answers, and bold gang shouts. Verse vocals stay close-mic and firm, pre-chorus lifts with doubled lines, chorus hits with layered male harmonies and short delay throws on the last word. Ear candy includes a distant bugle lick, reverse cymbal rises into each chorus, and a final key-change lift. Bright, punchy, and cinematic with a patriotic arena sheen., country
