Lyrics

Protect the Land

[Verse 1: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]

The big gun tells you what your life is worth

What do we deserve before we end the Earth?

If they will try to push you far away

Would you stay and take a stand?

Would you stay with gun in hand?

[Chorus: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]

They protect the land

They protect the land

Those who protect the land

Those who protect the land

Those who protect

[Verse 2: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]

The enemy of man is his own decay

If they're evil now, then evil they will stay

If they will try to push you far away

Would you stay and take a stand?

Would you stay with gun in hand?

[Chorus: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]

They protect the land

They protect the land

They protect the land

Our history and victory and legacy we send

From scavengers and invaders, those who protect the land

Those who protect the land

Those who protect

Those who protect the land

Those who protect

[Bridge: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]

Some were forced to foreign lands

Some would lay dead on the sand

Would you stay and take command?

Would you stay with gun in hand? With gun in hand

[Chorus: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]

They protect the land

They protect the land

They protect the land

Our history and victory and legacy we send

From scavengers and invaders, those who protect the land

Our history and victory and legacy we send

From scavengers and invaders, those who protect

Those who protect the land

Those who protect the land

Those who protect

Those who protect the land

Those who protect
