Brotherhood under fire

Verse 1
Boots hit the gravel, dawn barely breathing,
Names on our dog tags, dust on our sleeves,
Ruck straps biting, nerves pulled tight,
We joke in the dark just to soften the night.
Letters folded thin in a cargo pocket,
Promises made where fear can’t stop it,
When the radio crackles and the order’s clear,
We move as one—no room for fear.
Pre-Chorus
Heartbeats drum like distant guns,
Every step says “leave no one.”
Chorus
Brotherhood under fire, forged in the flame,
Same mud on our faces, same blood in our veins,
When the sky comes crashing and the world feels dire,
We stand together—brotherhood under fire.
No one left behind, no retreat, no wire,
We hold the line—brotherhood under fire.
Verse 2
Night turns loud, tracer cuts the air,
Shadows dance where courage dares,
Hands on shoulders, eyes stay locked,
Every move timed by a ticking clock.
Smoke in the lungs, grit in the teeth,
Faith in the man to your left and beneath,
If I fall you lift me higher,
If you stumble I’m your wire.
Pre-Chorus
Through the chaos, through the smoke,
We carry more than hope.
Chorus
Brotherhood under fire, forged in the flame,
Same mud on our faces, same blood in our veins,
When the sky comes crashing and the world feels dire,
We stand together—brotherhood under fire.
No one left behind, no retreat, no wire,
We hold the line—brotherhood under fire.
Bridge
From the first hard march to the last long mile,
We learned how to bleed and still find a smile,
Scars tell stories, names live on,
In whispered prayers till the night is gone.
If tomorrow comes or the sun don’t rise,
Remember our bond never says goodbye.
Breakdown
Lock it in—eyes forward—now!
Hear the call, remember how.
Final Chorus
Brotherhood under fire, tempered and tried,
From the trenches of doubt to the hell we survived,
When the last round fades and the flames expire,
What remains is us—brotherhood under fire.
No one left behind, no retreat, no wire,
Till the end of the line—brotherhood under fire.
Outro
Boots quiet at last, dawn breaking through,
Still brothers—always—me and you.
