lyrics
[Verse 1]
They hit the line at dusk
Left the farms to burn
Raiders took the roads
And the good folks learned
The square went cold
The radio went thin
Every broken porch
Had a shadow in it
[Pre-Chorus]
But you can't bury
What this land has built
A blue-cloth oath
And an iron will
[Chorus]
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Hold the line tonight
General called us back
Now we stand and fight
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Raise that flag up high
Minutemen are marching
And the scum can run and hide
[Verse 2]
From Sanctuary to the old north gate
From the farms to the train yard rust
He called the names and the broken came
With loaded hope and dust
A patched-up coat
A hand-me-down gun
A thousand tired hearts
Moving as one
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every tower
Gets a watchful flame
Every cracked wall
Knows the General's name
[Chorus]
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Hold the line tonight
General called us back
Now we stand and fight
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Raise that flag up high
Minutemen are marching
And the scum can run and hide
[Bridge]
Let them come with fire
Let them come with steel
We've got the farms behind us
And a reason to kneel
Not for fear
Not for gold
Just neighbor to neighbor
Standing bold
[Final Chorus]
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Hold the line tonight
General called us back
Now we stand and fight
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Raise that flag up high
Minutemen are marching
And the scum can run and hide
Hold the line, Commonwealth
No more running blind
With the General leading us
We take back what is mine
They hit the line at dusk
Left the farms to burn
Raiders took the roads
And the good folks learned
The square went cold
The radio went thin
Every broken porch
Had a shadow in it
[Pre-Chorus]
But you can't bury
What this land has built
A blue-cloth oath
And an iron will
[Chorus]
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Hold the line tonight
General called us back
Now we stand and fight
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Raise that flag up high
Minutemen are marching
And the scum can run and hide
[Verse 2]
From Sanctuary to the old north gate
From the farms to the train yard rust
He called the names and the broken came
With loaded hope and dust
A patched-up coat
A hand-me-down gun
A thousand tired hearts
Moving as one
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every tower
Gets a watchful flame
Every cracked wall
Knows the General's name
[Chorus]
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Hold the line tonight
General called us back
Now we stand and fight
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Raise that flag up high
Minutemen are marching
And the scum can run and hide
[Bridge]
Let them come with fire
Let them come with steel
We've got the farms behind us
And a reason to kneel
Not for fear
Not for gold
Just neighbor to neighbor
Standing bold
[Final Chorus]
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Hold the line tonight
General called us back
Now we stand and fight
Hold the line, Commonwealth
Raise that flag up high
Minutemen are marching
And the scum can run and hide
Hold the line, Commonwealth
No more running blind
With the General leading us
We take back what is mine
