    The title song of the Black Rose Society Score, Soldiers Live is a haunting piece about a loss amongst a brotherhood of soldiers.

    Story Behind the Song
    Soldiers Live, like many others ofits genre, was written in late September of 2001 and recorded in January of 2002. The overwhelming emotion produced by the attacks mirrored the feel that I had wanted for the piece from the very beginning, but had lacked the inspiration.

    Lyrics
    My brother's not coming home tonight
    he charged through the darkness to fight the good fight
    he stood on a wall to protect us from harm
    and now my brother's gone

    My brother's not coming home again
    he swore an oath to serve and defend
    guardian angels with wings dipped in blood
    and now his work is done

    After today, every fight's in your name
    After today, things'll never be the same
    My brother fell and I survived
    soldiers live, and wonder why

    My brother faced the darkness calling
    his sword a fence to evil's will
    none would aid his comrades falling
    to the ground where they lay still

    My brother purchased safety for us
    the coin he used has stained the grass
    and still they laugh at those who ride
    heedless again of those who passed

    After today, every fight's in your name
    After today, things'll never be the same
    why should we live and our bothers die
    soldiers live, and wonder why

    Your wife and your children wept at my feet
    when I brought them the word
    I swear to you they'll never be alone
    this family takes care of its own

    My brother took my place in line
    He pulled me from eternity’s door
    He boldly strode through in my place
    To his fallen comrades’ embrace

    After Today, every breath is for you
    After today, my every step is towards you
    Your name will be my battle cry
    soldiers live, and soldiers die.
