[Verse 1]
Steam on the factory floor
Sirens split the dawn
Hands left the conveyor belts
And the whole town ran along
Boots hit the pavement hard
By the iron gate
Word moved fast through the dust
That the house would not wait
[Verse 2]
Windows shook with a chant
Flags bent in the wind
The road filled up with rage
And the line drew thin
But the Captain said, "Hold fast"
Eyes on the door
For the man who guards the home
Must stand there evermore
[Pre-Chorus]
Shields up, shoulders square
Hold that ground
No fear in the smoke
No step back now
[Chorus]
Shields at the gate
Stand, stand proud
For our dear President
Hold the crowd
Shields at the gate
We won't break
Noble hearts in the line
For the nation’s sake
[Verse 3]
Batons flashed in the rain
Not for glory, just the wall
One by one they sealed the gap
As the louder voices called
Brass on their helmets glowed
Under the harsh street lamps
And the old house stayed upright
Through the shove and the stamps
[Pre-Chorus]
Shields up, shoulders square
Hold that ground
No fear in the smoke
No step back now
[Chorus]
Shields at the gate
Stand, stand proud
For our dear President
Hold the crowd
Shields at the gate
We won't break
Noble hearts in the line
For the nation’s sake
[Bridge]
When the sparks fly high
And the brave get tested
We keep our oath
When the night is restless
One straight line
One steady name
Through the storm and noise
We remain
[Final Chorus]
Shields at the gate
Stand, stand proud
For our dear President
Hold the crowd
Shields at the gate
We won't break
Noble hearts in the line
For the nation’s sake
Steam on the factory floor
Sirens split the dawn
Hands left the conveyor belts
And the whole town ran along
Boots hit the pavement hard
By the iron gate
Word moved fast through the dust
That the house would not wait
[Verse 2]
Windows shook with a chant
Flags bent in the wind
The road filled up with rage
And the line drew thin
But the Captain said, "Hold fast"
Eyes on the door
For the man who guards the home
Must stand there evermore
[Pre-Chorus]
Shields up, shoulders square
Hold that ground
No fear in the smoke
No step back now
[Chorus]
Shields at the gate
Stand, stand proud
For our dear President
Hold the crowd
Shields at the gate
We won't break
Noble hearts in the line
For the nation’s sake
[Verse 3]
Batons flashed in the rain
Not for glory, just the wall
One by one they sealed the gap
As the louder voices called
Brass on their helmets glowed
Under the harsh street lamps
And the old house stayed upright

No fear in the smoke
No step back now

Stand, stand proud
For our dear President
Hold the crowd

[Final Chorus]
Shields at the gate
Stand, stand proud
For our dear President
Hold the crowd
Shields at the gate
We won't break
Noble hearts in the line
For the nation’s sake
