This is the price of commanding–-
You always stand alone,
Let no one near
To see the fear
Behind the mask, you've grown
This is the price of commanding
This is the price of commanding–-
That you watch your dearest die,
Sending women and men
To fight again,
And never tell them why
This is the price of commanding
This is the price of commanding–-
Mistakes are signed in red–-
And you won’t pay
But others may,
And your best may wind up dead
This is the price of commanding
This is the price of commanding–-
The deaths that haunt your sleep
you hope they forgive
And so you live
With their memories buried deep.
This is the price of commanding.
This is the price of commanding–-
That if you won’t, others will.
So take your post,
Salute each ghost–-
You’ve a debt to them to fill
This is the price of commanding.
This is the price of commanding.
This is the Price -- of commanding.
