Fallen Soldiers | Military Cadence
(Lyrics & History)
The U.S. Military's call-and-response chants, known as "jodies," reflect the camaraderie at the core of military life. These rhythmic traditions not only uplift morale but also keep troops moving in perfect sync.
Lyrics
Out on the battlefield covered in blood
There’s an Airborne Sapper dying in the mud
The enemy came closing in until the Soldier fell
So with one final magazine he sent ‘em all to hell
Fallen Soldiers
We stand on your shoulders
We carry your legacy
‘Cause no one said that freedom’s free
Fallen soldiers
We stand on your shoulders
I’ll carry your legacy
Till some day they remember me

Out in a foxhole, shaking in his boots
There’s a brand new private too afraid to shoot
The Soldier to his left jumped on a hand grenade
And the gruesome price of war he paid
Fallen soldiers
We stand on your shoulders
We carry your legacy
‘Cause no one said that freedom’s free
Fallen soldiers
We stand on your shoulders
I’ll carry your legacy
Till some day they remember me
