Sheepdog in the Storm

Verse 1

I see the fire in the headlines

Truth buried under neon lies

Screens preach peace while they sharpen knives

Brothers fight over different sides

Politicians selling fear in suits

Trading souls for soundbite proof

Nobody knows what’s real anymore

Just echoes bangin’ off the floor

Pre-Chorus

I won’t kneel to the noise they make

I won’t drink from the well of fake

Chorus

I am the sheepdog in the storm

Standin’ in the rain while the wolves are warm

I don’t need a crown or a throne of bones

Just a line to hold and a heart of stone

When the world forgets what’s right and wrong

I’ll be here when the night goes long

I don’t run, I don’t fold, I don’t roam

I’m the sheepdog… bring ‘em home

Verse 2

They divide us up with borrowed rage

Red and blue in a digital cage

Neighbors turned into enemies

Over words we don’t even see

Truth got sold for a trending lie

And the loudest voice is always right

But silence screams inside my chest

Sayin’ somebody’s gotta stand instead

Pre-Chorus

I won’t bow to a plastic crown

Won’t let my people tear us down

Chorus

I am the sheepdog in the storm

Standin’ in the rain while the wolves are warm

I don’t need a crown or a throne of bones

Just a line to hold and a heart of stone

When the world forgets what’s right and wrong

I’ll be here when the night goes long

I don’t run, I don’t fold, I don’t roam

I’m the sheepdog… bring ‘em home

Bridge (slow, heavy build)

If truth is dead, I’ll dig it up

With bloody hands and broken trust

If hope is weak, I’ll be the shield

If faith is gone, I’ll make it real

Let ‘em shout, let ‘em choose their side

I’ll stand between them and the lies

Breakdown (spoken / growled)

Not a saint…

Not a king…

Just a man who still believes in something

Final Chorus (bigger)

I am the sheepdog in the storm

While the wolves keep keepin’ score

I don’t fight for flags or famous names

I fight for the ones who feel the pain

When the world forgets what’s right and wrong

I’ll be here when the night goes long

I don’t run, I don’t fold, I don’t roam

I’m the sheepdog… bring ‘em home

Outro

Yeah, the truth is wounded, but it breathes in me

And I’ll stand my ground ‘til my last heartbeat

I don’t bark for show, I don’t need a throne

I guard what’s mine…

And I walk alone
