Lyrics

Verse 1
Flags waved like weapons, storm in the crowd,
Voices like thunder, angry and loud.
Marble halls shaking, history wept,
Ashes on the Capitol steps.

Pre-Chorus
The world was watching, hearts turned cold,
A story of freedom tarnished and told.

Chorus
Oh, what have we done, to the promise we keep?
The torch of the nation burned in the street.
A day that was written in sorrow and shame,
The land of the free crying out in pain.

Verse 2
Shadows of patriots, ghosts in the dome,
Whispered of unity, whispered of home.
But rage took the reins, truth lost its breath,
Ashes on the Capitol steps.

Pre-Chorus
A flag upside down, a wound that won’t heal,
A scar on the dream we once called real.

Chorus
Oh, what have we done, to the promise we keep?
The torch of the nation burned in the street.
A day that was written in sorrow and shame,
The land of the free crying out in pain.

Bridge
We swore on the stars, we swore on the stripes,
That justice would carry the weight of our lives.
But brother fought brother, the Union cried,
A house divided, freedom denied.

Chorus (Final)
Oh, what have we done, to the promise we keep?
The torch of the nation burned in the street.
A day that reminds us, we cannot forget,
Ashes still fall on the Capitol steps.

Outro
And history whispers, with every breath,
“Guard what you love… or march into death.”
