Into The Drink - Sacred Oath

Hours before the dawn

In the Land of the Rising Sun

Shepherd to Black Sheep One

The hero pulls his boots on

He’s unencumbered

By others' expectations

His kills are numbered

As are his days

No care for medals

Records or recognition

To win the war

That’s his only mission

He’s counting zeros

Tracers into flames

This one got his number

But not his name

Dive to the whitecaps

And push the throttle

Fire in the engine

Bullets in the bottle

No way around it

This ship is gonna sink

Pulled from the cockpit

And into the drink

Dive to the whitecaps

And push the throttle

Fire in the engine

Bullets in the bottle

No way around it

This ship is gonna sink

Pulled from the cockpit

And into the drink

Bravery can’t always save you

But tales of it live on

Legends can inspire us

To find what we believe in

Stand for the truth

Fight to the death

You may find tomorrow

And draw another breath
