[Verse 1]
Boot prints in the hallway dust
Blood dried black on the stair
You straighten a crooked frame
Like the war was never there
Tea gone cold on the table
Steam died
Same as names
You light one lamp in the darkness
And clean what the slaughter stains
[Chorus]
Levi
In the snow of this war
You don't bend
You don't pray
Eyes like winter on the corpses you carried
You just turn
Walk away
Levi
Every promise feels cheap
Every grave looks the same
So you carve through hell with a tired
Steady hand
And forget your own name
[Verse 2]
You move before the heartbeat hits
Steel breath close to bone
Friends flung out like broken glass
Yet your face stays carved in stone
You tie that scarf on a ghost
You drag boots through the rain
Fold their beds
Clear their rooms
Leave the dust
Keep the pain
[Chorus]
Levi
In the snow of this war
You don't bend
You don't pray
Eyes like winter on the corpses you carried
You just turn
Walk away
Levi
Every promise feels cheap
Every grave looks the same
So you carve through hell with a tired
Steady hand
And forget your own name
[Bridge]
How many last stands
Fit in two hands
How many shoulders
Can one shoulder hold (hey)
You never say “stay”
Only “go
I'll pay”
With a body already old
[Chorus]
Levi
In the snow of this war
You don't bend
You don't pray
Eyes like winter on the corpses you carried
You just turn
Walk away
Levi
If there's peace at the end
You won't stand in the frame
You will limp offstage in the echo and the ash
Too cold to claim fame
