LYRICS for the introduction titled ‘Make Your Mothers Proud’
Dead dreams buried in a deadly haze.
To live another day is what he prays.
Stuck in hell while the world still turns.
Jack stands tall and watches as it burns.
Keep fighting lads.
Fight for freedom.
Fight for glory.
Fight for your lives … and make your mothers proud.
