Waking the Winter Soldier

Wake now Winter Soldier,
The Summer Guard has fled.
Our empire stands betrayed.
As they choose to die in bed.

Tyranny was born of us,
And caught the parent sleeping.
Amongst us grows a frightful roar.
That sounds like mothers weeping.

Winter Soldier please wake up.
From your long protected slumber.
Let go your dreams of better things.
And find safety in our numbers.

One if by land, is still the plan.
Our own borders now are haunted.
The old grow cold, the young grow bold,
And the innocent are daunted.

Winter Soldier wait no more,
Seize the day by the end of morning.
There is not time, to make it rhyme.
Stand and scream the warning!

From shining sea, to shining sea,
Let it be heard by We, the One.
May the Constitution live forever.
E Pluribus Unum is how it's done.

Winter Soldier, take freedoms torch,
We shall meet in the amber waves.
Right past the screams, lay our dreams,
And those that made them slaves
