(Verse 1)
Out in the desert, where the sun burns hot,
Through the dust and the echoes of every shot,
He watched from the high ground, steady and true,
A guardian angel with a clear-eyed view.
(Pre-Chorus)
One shot, one kill, he made it count,
Not for the glory, not for the mount,
But for the brothers who walked the line,
He had their six, every single time.
(Chorus)
The legend stood tall, never backed down,
Kept the wolves at bay when they came around.
Through the scope, through the fight, in the dead of the night,
He gave us a chance, he gave us the light.
(Verse 2)
The stories were whispered, the fear ran deep,
They knew his name, they lost their sleep.
But we knew the man, behind the steel,
A brother, a warrior, with a heart so real.
(Pre-Chorus)
One shot, one kill, he made it right,
Not for the fame, but for the fight,
For the ones who stood, side by side,
He held the line, he turned the tide.
(Chorus)
The legend stood tall, never backed down,
Kept the wolves at bay when they came around.
Through the scope, through the fight, in the dead of the night,
He gave us a chance, he gave us the light.
(Bridge)
Not every war is fought overseas,
Some battles follow you home with the memories.
But he still stood strong, still gave it all,
Even when the silence started to call.
(Outro)
Now the rifles are quiet, the dust has laid low,
But we still hear his voice when the cold winds blow.
For those who served, for those who fell,
We raise our glass to the man who never fell.
(Final Chorus – Soft & Strong)
The legend stood tall, never backed down,
Kept the wolves at bay when they came around.
Through the scope, through the fight, in the dead of the night,
He gave us a chance, he gave us the light.
