[Verse]
Battle cries echo
Ghostly and cold
Steel in my veins
But my heart feels old
The desert burned
The sky bled red
Now I fight shadows
Alone in my head
[Chorus]
Scars of the silent war!
They tear me apart
They cut to the core!
A soldier's burden
Forevermore
Scars of the silent war!
[Verse 2]
Boots on the ground
The earth shook with fear
Brothers fell
Their screams still near
Now it's quiet
But the silence screams
Haunted by faces
Fractured dreams
[Prechorus]
I see their eyes
They pull me back
A lifetime spent under attack
[Chorus]
Scars of the silent war!
They tear me apart
They cut to the core!
A soldier's burden
Forevermore
Scars of the silent war!
[Bridge]
Blood-soaked hands
I can't wash them clean
Reality fractures
What does it mean?
Regret is a fire
Burning my soul
The weight of the past
A bottomless hole
