“Into the Fire – A Tribute to Those Who Run Toward the Fight” is a powerful anthem that honors the warrior spirit in all its forms — soldiers, medics, SWAT, firefighters, and anyone who chooses courage over comfort.

Written by David Burnell, this song draws from his real-world experience training thousands of military and law enforcement personnel trained at his Urban Warfare Center, which he founded after 9/11. These weren’t just drills. These were purpose-driven scenarios, designed to mold warriors not just through tactics — but through principle.

The song walks us through the fire: – From the fallen towers to the battle-worn training grounds – From Vegas hotel hallways filled with smoke and screams – To the quiet return of those who made it back — thanks to preparation, courage, and grit

This is not about glory. It’s about the why. The fire is real. The cost is high. But the warrior shows up — every time.

It’s a tribute to the spirit of service and the deep, often unspeakable, moments of brotherhood in the world’s darkest corners.

“Flintlocks and Freedom” is a sweeping tribute to the American Revolution — a war fought not just with muskets and powder, but with faith, fire, and unimaginable resolve. From the thunder of Boston to the surrender at Yorktown, this song tells the story of how a band of colonial rebels, including Scottish and Irish immigrants, rose up against the British Empire and, against impossible odds, won their freedom.

It speaks to George Washington's leadership, the fractures within Congress, and the divine thread that held it all together. With poetic verses, militant cadence, and soul-stirring choruses, Flintlocks and Freedom reminds us that liberty is never easily won but always worth the fight.

On September 11, 2009—eight years after the attacks that changed the world—David Burnell penned I Remember on 09/11/09 as a somber anthem of remembrance and a wake-up call to a nation at risk of forgetting.

More than a tribute to the fallen, this song is a meditation on the deeper war we fight: the struggle to preserve liberty, faith, and moral clarity in a time of growing apathy and revisionist history. It contrasts the visible horror of 9/11 with the quieter but no less dangerous erosion of values from within.

Through heartfelt lyrics and a haunting acoustic arrangement, I Remember on 09/11/09 urges listeners to never forget—not just the day itself, but the principles it challenged and reaffirmed: God, freedom, sacrifice, and unity.

This is a song for those who remember, and for those who must be reminded.

“Remember the Alamo” is a stirring tribute to one of the most iconic battles in American history.

The lyrics recount key historical figures like Davy Crockett, James Bowie, and William B. Travis, and portray their valor, unity, and resolve in the face of certain death. Though the Alamo fell, their stand inspired a rallying cry that led to Texas’ eventual victory at San Jacinto.

Infused with reverence and defiance, this song immortalizes their sacrifice and reminds listeners that some battles are lost in body but won in spirit. The legacy of the Alamo lives on in every Texan heart and every voice that dares to sing: Remember the Alamo.
