A. K. A. F. A. D. Series V: For the Republic, For which it Stands...

For the Republic, For which it Stands...

When 1 door closes, another 1 opens...

Get me off the hook,
I am rusted,
I am not dead
I got a job to do,
Get me off the hook,
I am rusted,
I am not dead
I got a job to do,

I remember the Yellow Brick Road,

Through these portals pass prospects,
For America's finest fighting force,
United States Marines,

There is only one way out of Parris Island,
This is no Hotel California,
There is no either or...

You will earn that passage, only by the challenge of Eagle, Globe & Anchor...

You will earn that right to be called a U. S. Marine, until death do you part...

You will always be a U. S. Marine...

There are no Lion Kings,
There are no Tin Men,
There are no Scarecrows;

Only Recruits with the focus to be something more, than life itself...

Freedom has a cost, you must protect & defend it to the very end...
You must be willing to die, so another may live...
This vicious cycle called freedom does exist,
Saying it out loud is much easier,
Doing it is another meaning altogether,
Everything else is meaningless,
It's best you just live out the American Dream in the aforementioned...

Say it again, repeat the stanza:

Freedom has a cost, you must protect & defend it to the very end...
You must be willing to die, so another may live...
This vicious cycle called freedom does exist,
Saying it out loud is much easier,
Doing it is another meaning altogether,
Everything else is meaningless,
It's best you just live out the American Dream in blood, sweat & tears...

Swallow the pill,
Shoot only to kill,
Spill out the real intent,
Spent to be who you are,
What you are made to do,
Due to, you are a trained killer,
There's no other way to soften the blow,
Show of force, follow the course,

Get me off the hook,
I am rusted,
I am not dead
I got a job to do,
Get me off the hook,
I am rusted,
I am not dead
I got a job to do,

I am a Rusted Existence,
I am not dead,
I just need fixed,
I just need help,
You caused it,
Now fix it,
I know the truth,
I have the EVIDENCE.
