I Hear the Distant Cannons Roar

I hear the distant cannons roar
A little closer now than before

I hear the General's echoing cry
Hold the line. . Hold the line

To head back and face the battle now may mean that I will die
But Wisdom whispers death only wins when you refuse to fight

The enemy has trampled much braver men than I
But I pick up my sword again and run back toward the General's echoing cry.



I feel it is time to return to my post.
