Holding the Line

Five years of silence, five years of night

Earth still spinning, missing its light

No victory banners, no end in sight

Just voices on screens trying to survive

Verse 1 – Natasha (Black Widow)

The world didn’t end, it just stopped breathing

Every day feels like unfinished grieving

I sit in the chair, stare at the stars

Counting the names, measuring scars

I keep the lights on, keep the calls alive

If we stop talking, we don’t survive

I don’t get to break, I don’t get to fall

If I’m the last thread, I’ll hold us all

Verse 2 – War Machine

Armor’s still flying, but the sky feels wrong

Battles keep coming, but hope feels gone

I follow orders I already know

Trying to protect what’s left below

Every mission feels like déjà vu

Winning fights we’re meant to lose

I carry the weight, I stay in the air

Someone’s gotta prove we still care

Verse 3 – Okoye

A kingdom stands with half its heart

Tradition broken, torn apart

The throne still waits, the spear still shines

But honor bends in desperate times

I guard a world that’s bleeding out

Strength in silence, faith in doubt

If we kneel now, all is lost

I will stand, no matter the cost

Chorus (low, restrained)

We’re holding the line while the world decays

Marking time in endless days

Every loss carved deep in stone

We’re still here—but not whole

Verse 4 – Nebula

I survived him, but not the past

Every memory cuts like glass

A universe reduced to ash

And I still hear his laugh

I know what it’s like to lose everything

To be shaped by suffering

If rage is all I have left inside

I’ll turn it outward, not let it decide

Verse 5 – Rocket

I joke too loud so I don’t think

About empty seats and missing links

Geniuses, soldiers, gods and kings

All gone in a single blink

I build the weapons, fix the tech

Pretend I don’t feel the wreck

But every plan I pull apart

Still can’t fix a broken heart

Verse 6 – Captain Marvel

I’m out in the dark where the stars collapse

Putting out fires maps can’t track

A thousand worlds asking why

I can’t save them all, no matter how I try

I leave this planet, then come back home

Still feels wrong being this alone

If I’m distant, it’s not by choice

I hear too many worlds calling my voice

Chorus (repeat, heavier)

We’re holding the line while the world decays

Carrying ghosts through endless days

Every promise overthrown

We’re still here—but not whole

Bridge – Wong

Sanctums shattered, time out of sync

Ancient vows on the brink

I hold the doors between what’s real

And horrors no one else can feel

Magic bends, but loss stays true

No spell restores what we knew

So I stand guard, night and day

So something sacred still remains

Break – Natasha (soft, breaking)

If you’re out there…

If you can hear this…

We didn’t give up.

We’re still here.

Final Chorus (All, resolute)

We’re holding the line till the end of days

Even when hope feels far away

If this world stands on borrowed bones

We’ll guard it till you come home

Outro (quiet)

Five years gone, still holding on

Waiting for the dawn. Ooooooooooo. Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
