Cathedral towers kiss the dawn,
Iron gates are opened wide,
Snare drums roll like distant thunder,
Stone and sky stand side by side.
Brass awakens vaulted ceilings,
Echoes climb the arches high,
Footsteps strike in sacred cadence,
Banners cut across the sky.
Organ pipes begin to breathe,
Ancient air in solemn waves,
Line by line our shadows gather,
Called by courage, strong and brave.
Rise in glory, hearts aligned,
Voices ringing clear and refined,
Through the thunder, through the flame,
We march in honor’s name.
Let the anthem shake the ground,
Let the sacred walls resound,
Step by step in majesty—
We claim eternity.
Medals gleam in morning fire,
Stories resting in each scar,
Generations stand together,
Knowing who we are.
Young cadets with lifted chins,
Feel the organ’s mighty swell,
Past and future interwoven
In the pealing chapel bell.
Trumpets blaze in golden layers,
Drums like destiny proclaim,
Every oath and every promise
Burns within the flame.
Rise in glory, hearts aligned,
Voices ringing clear and refined,
Through the thunder, through the flame,
We march in honor’s name.
Let the anthem shake the ground,
Let the sacred walls resound,
Step by step in majesty—
We claim eternity.
