Branded
by Dominic Frontiere

 All but one man died.....
There at Bitter Creek,
and they say he ran away.

Branded! Scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you're branded,
and you know you're a man?

Wherever you go, for the rest of your life
You must prove, you're a man.

 All but one man died.....
there at Bitter Creek,
and they say he ran away.

Branded!

Marked with a coward's shame.
What do you do when you're branded?
Well, you fight for your name.

Wherever you go for the rest of your life
You must prove to them all.....
you're a man!

Stripped of all his rank, stripped of all his pride,
Still he holds his head up high.

Branded!

Friends are a thing unknown.
What do you do when you're branded?
Well, you go on alone.

Wherever you go for the rest of your life
you must prove to them all.....
you're a man!

He was innocent,
not a charge was true,
But the world will never know .....

Branded!

 Scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you're branded,
And you know you're a man?

Wherever you go for the rest of your life
you must prove to them all.....
you're a man!

Of his General Reed and the men who died,
He can never speak the truth.

Branded!

That's not the way to die.....
What do you do when you're branded?
Can you live with a lie?

Wherever you go for the rest of your life
You must prove ...
you're a man!
