Prelude: The Eagle born to those who pledged their lives and sacred honor
with smiled upon by God and freed from chains and iron collar.
He is held aloft on unity, and by History, revered
For preserving peace through strength his wings now reach across
two hundret years...
...but for each of those, and one year more,
God has smiled upon The Corps...
from the Barbary Cost to the Eastern Sand, by sword, by gun,
or by bare hand.
So it's been, and shall be weighed:
Though many are born... few are made.
Faithful Always, they shall remain...
dogs to loose when war is waged!
I'm a Marine on a beach I'm a killin' machine,
with a need to bleed you when the light goes green
best believe, I'm in a zone to be,
from my Yin to my Yang to my Yang Tze
put a grin on my chin come to me,
‘cuz I'll win, I'm a one-of-a-kind and I'll bring death
to the place you're about to be
another river of blood runnin' under my feet
forged in a fire lit long ago,
stand next to me, you'll never stand alone
I'm last to leave, but the first to go,
Hard corp is the only way I know
I feed on the fear of the devil inside
of the enemy faces in my sights:
aim with the hand, shoot with the mind,
kill with a heart like arctic ice
I am a devil dog and I'm marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song
I bask in the glow of the rising war,
lay waste to the ground of an enemy shore
wade through the blood spilled on the floor,
and if another one stands I'll kill some more
bullet in the breach and a fire in me,
like a cigarette thrown, to gasoline
if death don't bring you fear, then death aint brought by no Marine
Come to the nightmare, come to me,
deep down in the dark where the devil be
in the maw with the jaws and the razor teeth,
where the brimstone burns and the angel weeps
call to the gods if I cross your path
and my silhouette hangs like a body bag
hope is a moment now long past,
the shadow of death is the one I cast.
I am a devil dog and I'm marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song
Hell has no demon i wont overcome
I am a warrior and this is my song
now I live lean and I mean to inflict the grief,
and the least of me is still out of your reach
the killing machine's gonna do the deed,
until the river runs dry and my last breath leaves
chin in the air with a head held high,
I'll stand in the path of the enemy line
feel no fear, know my pride:
for God and Country I'll end your life
I am a devildog and I'm marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song
Hell has no demon I wont overcome
I am a warrior and this is my song
I made the devil himself turn and run
I am a warrior and this is my song
Into the fire I will march it on
Oorah Maribe Corp! Get Some!
