Raise Your Rifle

[Verse 1]
The General rode out first
Through the ash and the rain
To the Commonwealth border
Where the broken held their name
Old Boston in the distance
Took a long look back at fear
Raiders came with fire in their eyes
But the end was drawing near

[Pre-Chorus]
We buried doubt in the dirt
Left the past behind
He said, "Stand your ground, son
This is our line"

[Chorus]
Raise your rifle, let it burn
(raise your rifle)
For every hero, it's their turn
(it's their turn)
Stand up tall, don't look away
The Commonwealth will see today
Raise your rifle, let it burn
(raise your rifle)
For every hero, it's their turn

[Verse 2]
By the broken freeway
And the rusted overpass
We heard the boom of thunder
And we knew the hour had passed
The raiders came in shouting
But they met a wall of steel
Every step we took together
Made the wounded country heal

[Pre-Chorus]
We buried doubt in the dirt
Left the past behind
He said, "Stand your ground, son
This is our line"

[Chorus]
Raise your rifle, let it burn
(raise your rifle)
For every hero, it's their turn
(it's their turn)
Stand up tall, don't look away
The Commonwealth will see today
Raise your rifle, let it burn
(raise your rifle)
For every hero, it's their turn

[Bridge]
If the world goes hard and cold
And the night comes creeping in
We'll keep the fire moving
We'll make the dead streets live again
No crown, no gold, no glory
Just a name carved in the stone
Old Boston heard us coming
And we brought the fighting home

[Final Chorus]
Raise your rifle, let it burn
(raise your rifle)
For every hero, it's their turn
(it's their turn)
Stand up tall, don't look away
The Commonwealth will see today
Raise your rifle, let it burn
(raise your rifle)
For every hero, it's their turn
For every hero, it's their turn
