[Lyrics for Bound For Glory – Blood, Honor, Loyalty]
Be wise, be brave, says the father to his son
Be alert, be strong, never bow before anyone
Never compromise our ideals before a nations scorn
Remember my son be on guard
It’s always calm before the storm
Be bold, be daring, never fear going in for the kill
Be smart, be cunning, live by your elders will
Just remember you’re free never to be anyones slave
For our laws and ideas you’ll take with you to the grave
Ancient principles of the past are still alive today
Amidst changes and imposed laws we’ve always found a way
I pass to you the power and wisdom my elders passed on to me
Your heart beats now for your fathers and for your family tree
Blood, honor, loyalty
Blood, honor, loyalty
Blood, honor, loyalty
Blood, honor, loyalty
If you live by the sword, you die by the sword
That’s what separates the boys from the men
You’re bound by honor, sworn by loyalty
Your family, your race you defend
The world is made up of beggars and thieves,
Peasants, kings, nobles, and lords
Judge not a man by the wealth that he wields
But by the power of his sword
One can’t judge a mans character
By how many tales he has sung
When the truth lies in his actions
And not the work of his tongue
Blood, honor, loyalty
Blood, honor, loyalty
Blood, honor, loyalty
Blood, honor, loyalty
