[Verse 1]
Dust in my teeth
Blood on my tongue
Every promise I believed
Came undone
Boot prints fading
Back where I came from
If there’s a god in this canyon
He’s keeping dumb
[Chorus]
I’m a warrior on my own
Swinging at shadows
Carving stone
If I fall here
Let it be known
I die standing
I die standing
Warrior on my own
[Verse 2]
Friends turned to rumors
Names to a sound
They drew their bright blue borders
Then burned my ground
Scars like a roadmap
Crossing my chest
Every cut a crooked prayer
I never confessed
[Chorus]
I’m a warrior on my own
Swinging at shadows
Carving stone
If I fall here
Let it be known
I die standing
I die standing
Warrior on my own
[Bridge]
Tell me
Who do you trust
When the flags all fade? (hey!)
When the throne sits empty
And the steel won’t save?
I’ve got breath
I’ve got bone
I’ve got rage
I’ve got hope
[Chorus]
I’m a warrior on my own
Swinging at shadows
Carving stone
If I fall here
Let it be known
I die standing
I die standing
Warrior on my own
