Holy Medics

[Intro]
Whispered shadows in the night, quiet screams in fading light

[Verse 1]
Smoke in my lungs, ash on my tongue
Memories buried deep where the past's unsung
Names in the mud, faces sunk in the flood
Lost in the echo of what once was love

[Pre-Chorus]
Rust in our teeth, prayers stuck underneath
Echoes of promises turned to grief
Every shout turns thin, swallowed by the wind
Searching for the truth buried deep within

[Chorus]
On this field of quiet bodies, where the living barely breathe
Every hand reaches to nothing, every word grinds through their teeth
Waiting for an answer, crawling through the misery
No one came, no one came, 'til we became the Holy Medics

[Verse 2]
Boot prints in bone, dogs fight over home
Silence so loud, even ghosts bow down
You said "help will arrive," but your voice already died
Tearing through the sky in my chest, pulling fire from the wrecked

[Pre-Chorus]
Rust in our teeth, prayers stuck underneath
Echoes of promises turned to grief
Every shout turns thin, swallowed by the wind
Searching for the truth buried deep within

[Chorus]
On this field of quiet bodies, where the living barely breathe
Every hand reaches to nothing, every word grinds through their teeth
Waiting for an answer, crawling through the misery
No one came, no one came, ’til we became the Holy Medics

[Bridge]
Floating through the chaos, fighting through the dust
Holding onto hope, when all turns to rust
Silent voices calling, drowning in despair
Leading the lost souls, showing that we care

[Outro]
On this field of quiet bodies, still we march and grieve
Every hand reaches to nothing, but still we believe
