You Know Him Now
He’ll die before he’ll yield,
And never would he leave
A comrade on the field,
With family left to grieve.
He’ll volunteer to go
Where you would shake in fear.
The cost you’ll never know
In blood and sweat and tears.
He’ll do the needful thing,
This blade both cold and keen,
This eagle on the wing—
You know him now: Marine.
