《The Last Full Measure of Devotion (arr. I. Frazier and M. Davis)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Last Full Measure of Devotion (arr. I. Frazier and M. Davis) - Robert Petillo/United States Army Chorus/United States Army Band

[00:00:15] In the long and honored history of America

[00:00:21] There are names that shine like beacons in the night

[00:00:28] The Patriots whose vision gave us meaning

[00:00:34] Who kept the lamp of freedom burning bright

[00:00:40] In the long and honored history of America

[00:00:46] There are those who paid the last and final price

[00:00:52] Who were called upon by chance by desperate circumstance

[00:00:58] To make the ultimate sacrifice

[00:01:06] A grateful nation bows it's head in sorrow

[00:01:12] And in thanks for guaranteeing our tomorrow

[00:01:30] The last full measure of devotion

[00:01:37] That's what they gave to the 'cause

[00:01:41] The last full measure of devotion

[00:01:47] And though they cannot hear our applause

[00:01:53] We honor them forever and keep alive their stories

[00:01:58] Pay tribute to their lives and give them all the glory

[00:02:08] The last full measure of devotion

[00:02:13] Beyond the call of duty were their deeds

[00:02:19] The last full measure of devotion

[00:02:24] They gave themselves to serve the greater need

[00:02:29] And for those who did survive

[00:02:32] Who came back home alive

[00:02:35] We join in praise of comrades who were slain

[00:02:40] And highly resolved most highly resolved

[00:02:50] That these dead shall not have died in vain

[00:03:02] The last full measure of devotion

[00:03:07] Beyond the call of duty were their deeds

[00:03:12] The last full measure of devotion

[00:03:18] They gave themselves to serve the greater need

[00:03:23] And for those who did survive

[00:03:26] Who came back home alive

[00:03:28] We join in praise of comrades who were slain

[00:03:36] And highly resolved most highly resolved

[00:03:46] That these dead shall not have died in vain
