《The Last Full Measure of Devotion》歌词

[00:00:00] The Last Full Measure of Devotion - 82nd Airborne All-American Chorus

[00:00:02] Written by：Jean Eblinger

[00:00:11] In the long and honored history of America

[00:00:17] There are names that shine like beacons in the night

[00:00:23] The patriots whose vision gave us meaning

[00:00:29] Who kept the lamp of freedom burning bright

[00:00:35] In the long and honored history of America

[00:00:41] There are those that paid the last and final price

[00:00:47] Who were called upon by chance by desperate circumstance

[00:00:53] To make the ultimate sacrifice

[00:01:01] A grateful nation bows its head in sorrow

[00:01:07] And in thanks for guaranteeing our tomorrow

[00:01:14] The last full measure of devotion

[00:01:21] That's what they gave to the cause

[00:01:26] The last full measure of devotion

[00:01:32] And though they cannot hear our applause

[00:01:39] We honor them forever and keep alive their stories

[00:01:44] Pay tribute to their lives and give them all the glory

[00:01:53] The last full measure of devotion

[00:01:59] Beyond the call of duty were their deeds

[00:02:05] The last full measure of devotion

[00:02:11] They gave their lives to serve the greater need

[00:02:17] And for those that did survive

[00:02:21] And came back home alive

[00:02:24] We honor them with comrades who were slain

[00:02:29] And highly resolved most highly resolved

[00:02:36] Highly resolved

[00:02:38] That these dead shall not have died

[00:02:41] That these dead shall not have died

[00:02:47] And highly resolved most highly resolved

[00:02:53] Most highly resolved

[00:02:55] These dead shall not have died

[00:02:59] These dead shall not have died in vain
