Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Boots in the dust, no moon in the sky Red lens glow, hear the angels cry Radio static, breath held tight Steel in my hands, living for the fight Heartbeat louder than the rounds Every shadow makes a sound Names carved deep inside my mind Some make it home, some stay behind Pre-Chorus No glory here, just orders and fear Clock hits midnight, truth gets clear Chorus Hot lead at zero dark Thunder ripping through the black No prayers left, no turning back When the world goes quiet, the rifles talk Hot lead at zero dark Blood and sweat in the sparks Live or die by the marks we leave Hot lead at zero dark Verse 2 Night vision green, ghosts on the wall Silhouettes waiting for the call Finger steady, safety gone Another second till the dawn We move like smoke, disappear Train the pain, forget the fear Brother on my six, I know his name If I fall, he’ll carry the flame Pre-Chorus No headlines, no parade Just the choices that we made Chorus Hot lead at zero dark Thunder ripping through the black No prayers left, no turning back When the world goes quiet, the rifles talk Hot lead at zero dark Blood and sweat in the sparks Live or die by the marks we leave Hot lead at zero dark Bridge Click—rack—flash—return fire Adrenaline fuels the wire Every round a final word Every echo screams unheard If tomorrow never comes Tell my son what I’ve done Not for hate, not for pay But to keep the wolves away Breakdown Zero… dark… Move—shoot—communicate Zero… dark… No hesitation Final Chorus Hot lead at zero dark Night explodes in a spark We don’t run, we don’t break We don’t fold when the stakes are stark Hot lead at zero dark Carry scars like marks of art If this is where the story ends Let it end in the dark Outro Sunrise finds the silent ground Empty brass, no victory sound Another mission, another scar Hot lead at zero dark
