From the Halls of Montezuma
to the Shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country's battles
On the land as on the sea.*
First to fight for right and freedom,
And to keep our honor clean,
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.
Our flag's unfurl'd to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun.
In the snow of far-off northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
We carry this tradition into the future
as digital warriors on a digital sea.
Never giving up on the mission
to keep America and our families free.
Our enemies can’t keep us silenced
for Marines will always find a way.
They too will find the internet is guarded
By the United States Marines.
