Aim high, blue ski;

Need your atmospheric;

Dominate perspective.

Own the night;

Reign the places;

Normal Warriors dare not go;

Special Forces of the earth.

Only the few;

Can be like you;

A corps beyond measure.

Anchors aweigh;

Deep dive perfection;

Keeping red blood, from the blue.

First to fight;

Physically and mentally tough;

Defending freedom, attacking oppression.

Common cause, common creed.

We bled for you,

Still bleed for you.

Stand beneath the bridge unnoticed;

To hold you up.

Bruised but not broken;

Stronger, yes stronger.

Loyalty and honor;

Selfless courage.

Doing all, giving all;

Because you ask it…

Of us.

Warriors wounded once;

Warriors still.

Look into my eyes;

Your son, your daughter;

Your warrior - common creed.

Your Freedom;

Remains secure.

Your endeavors;

Our children's future;

Rests on the shoulders;

The shoulders of WE.

Your Warriors!

Our creed.
