Valley Forge

Iced Earth

Close your eyes and imagine

the soldier at Valley Forge

The suffering that he endured was real

starvation, total war.

Yet in has eyes the iron will to win

and for the cause, he won't relent



[Chorus]

Would he look upon us now

in anger and disgust?

His politics a birthright and our creed

Will we let ignorance and laziness

bring our demise

Complacency, we're blinded by our greed



Standing barefoot, frozen bloody hands

his musket clutched, an iron grip

and for the cause, he has but one regret,

he's only got one life to give



[Chorus]

Would he look upon us now

in anger and disgust?

His politics a birthright and our creed

Will we let ignorance and laziness

bring our demise

Complacency, we're blinded by our greed



It's time for us, to open up our eyes,

and cherish the lives we all can have

and to the ones who've kept our freedom free

words can't express all that you've done



[Chorus]

Would he look upon us now

in anger and disgust?

His politics a birthright and our creed

Will we let ignorance and laziness

bring our demise

Complacency, we're blinded by our greed
