Wake the Regiment
Marching for Home: Embracing Memories and Sacrifice in 'Wake the Regiment'
Lyrics
It's never been this cold before,
Expressing a sense of unprecedented coldness or emotional distance.
Now it's getting to me
Feeling the impact of the emotional coldness.
Writing my thoughts home to you
Communicating thoughts and emotions to someone important.
Not knowing if I'll ever see your face again, again
Uncertainty about reuniting with the person and seeing their face again.
So wake the regiment
Calling for action and unity, possibly in a military context.
We're marching on tonight
Mobilizing for a mission or purpose tonight.
This is what we live for, this is what we live for
Stating the reason for living, emphasizing a purposeful existence.
So wake the regiment
Reiteration of the call to action and unity.
We're taking back what's ours
Asserting the reclaiming of something important.
Home is what we die for, home is what we die for
Emphasizing the significance of home, even to the point of sacrificing for it.
Now memories of yesteryear
Reflecting on memories from the past.
They're enough to get me through just one more time
Memories providing strength to endure challenges.
I'm thinking about you and all the things that you've taught me in this life
Thinking about the influence and teachings of a significant person.
I'll remember till I die
Commitment to remembering these lessons throughout life.
So wake the regiment
Reiteration of the call to action and unity (repeated).
We're marching on tonight
Moving forward with determination tonight.
This is what we live for, this is what we live for
Reaffirmation of the purposeful existence and what it entails.
So wake the regiment
Reiteration of the call to action and unity (repeated).
We're taking back what's ours
Claiming ownership and reclaiming something significant.
Home is what we die for, home is what we die for
Stressing the importance of home, even to the point of sacrifice (repeated).
