Shoot! I forgot!

I forgot to tell y'all about the band being inspired by their visit to Kevin and the other soldiers back in December. After meeting him and the others, they wrote a song titled "Bravery".

This is an outright plug, but the song is only available on a special edition CD available only at Best Buy. The CD is being released Oct 27th.

Here are the lyrics:

BRAVERY
Torture
Myself
Yet I’ve never seen so brave
Remind
Myself
What it takes to keep us safe

And they're forces
Conspiring to
Destroy you and me
And the sacrifices that are made

My heart is broken
Ripped open
I can’t shield my eyes from the truth
My heart was broken
Stitched shut again
By those who bleed for me and you

Deny
Yourself
The huge costs of this machine
Engorge
Yourself
And dishonor casualties

And they're forces
Conspiring to
Destroy you and me
And the sacrifices that are made

Purify
The images of my mind
But the memory stays behind
Cauterize
That moment in my life
The memory comes back to life

Pretty cool, huh?

"And they're forces"

If they misspelled their own lyrics (there're), could you let them know?

Excellent, Atreyu! Kevin and the other soldiers obviously made a very big impression upon the band--and how could they not? Such courage and determination; an inspiration for us all...
