[Chorus]
Black sand, black sky, everything turned wrong
We were pushin’ forward—now the line’s gone
No signal, no chain, just the sound of the guns
If this is how it ends, then it ends where I stand
[Verse 1]
We hit the ground hard, ash kickin’ in the wind
Thought we had numbers—thought we’d break ‘em in
Initial push clean, bolters speakin’ in rhythm
Then the vox cut sharp—something wrong in the system
Saw the second wave land, thought relief finally came
Then the fire turned inward—same armor, same flame
Couldn’t process it—orders clashin’ in my head
Till the man to my right dropped, Aquila painted red
[Chorus]
Black sand, black sky, everything turned wrong
We were pushin’ forward—now the line’s gone
No signal, no chain, just the sound of the guns
If this is how it ends, then it ends where I stand
[Verse 2]
You ever see a brother aim straight through your chest?
No hesitation, no doubt—just followin’ the rest
Ground shook different when the heavy armor turned
Not at the enemy—but at the lines we’d earned
We broke formation, not runnin’, just scatterin’ wide
Tryin’ to make sense while the world split inside
Names gettin’ called on the vox, then they fade
No medicae, no evac—just a grave gettin’ made
[Chorus]
Black sand, black sky, everything turned wrong
We were pushin’ forward—now the line’s gone
No signal, no chain, just the sound of the guns
If this is how it ends, then it ends where I stand
[Verse 3]
I don’t know who’s left, don’t know who’s true
Just silhouettes movin’ and I’m guessin’ who to shoot
Ammo runnin’ thin, blade feel heavy in my hand
Every step forward just sinkin’ in the sand
This ain’t a war now—this a break in the spine
Empire crackin’ open right in front of my eyes
But I still hold ground, even knowin’ it’s done
Not for victory—just to answer what we’ve become
[Chorus]
Black sand, black sky, everything turned wrong
We were pushin’ forward—now the line’s gone
No signal, no chain, just the sound of the guns
If this is how it ends, then it ends where I stand
