[Verse 1]
Steel sky over Midgar
Cold rain on the plate
You said “watch my stance
Kid
Feel the weight
Then wait”
Boots on rusted grating
Silver hair
Green eyes
Every cut you teach me
Marks the path I ride
[Chorus]
SOLDIER First Class
We burn like comets in the dark
Omniblade crashing
Chasing that impossible mark
Masamune shining
Cutting straight through fear and doubt
Two scars crossing
Only one of us walks out
(only one walks out)
[Verse 2]
Flashback in the fire
You were just my guide
Zack’s laugh on the highway
Won’t leave my side
Every move you showed me
Carved into my bones
Now I raise this broken past
Like it’s my own
[Chorus]
SOLDIER First Class
We burn like comets in the dark
Omniblade crashing
Chasing that impossible mark
Masamune shining
Cutting straight through fear and doubt
Two scars crossing
Only one of us walks out
(hey, hey)
[Bridge]
Your shadow in my swing
His voice in every shout
Mentor in the memories
Ghosts I can’t live without
If I fall right here
Then his story fades
So I step through the flame
And I bring down the blade
[Chorus]
SOLDIER First Class
We burn like comets in the dark
Omniblade crashing
Chasing that impossible mark
Masamune shining
Cutting straight through fear and doubt
Two scars crossing
Hear the crowdless world cry out
SOLDIER First Class
I was just a kid in the rain
Now I see Zack standing
In the arc of every swing I make
SOLDIER First Class
This is where our fates collide
Two blades
One promise
I won’t run
I won’t hide (oh yeah)
