Come on
Keep going
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4
Marines is going to be worse

Spit flies from parched lips
Cracked worse than the pavement.
Feet hit the ground in uneven beats.
Sniffles from running noses break through the air.
Conversation is halted by gasping lungs begging for just a moments rest

A slap on the back urges the body faster
They've caught up
It's too late...
NO!
You're slowing down bodies surround and pass you
No! Run!

Feet are thundering
Using each step to surge forward
One becomes two becomes four
So close now
The voices are cheering
They're falling back

You did it
Breathe
Good job
That's it just relax and bathe in the glory
