The Girl in the Red Coat

[Verse 1]
We lost our sergeant in the smoke,
Turned twice and he was gone,
No drum, no call, no steady voice
To tell us carry on.
Just shattered streets and falling ash,
And something in the sky,
And every man was thinking it—
This is where we die.

[Pre-Chorus]
Then through the haze of brick and flame,
Where even devils slowed—
We saw her standing all alone…

[Chorus]
The girl in the red coat, standing her ground,
One pistol raised as the dark closed around,
No fear in her eyes, no tremor, no plea—
Like war itself bent the knee.
We were broken, scattered, half ghosts in retreat,
But something in her made us form in the street,
No orders were given—still we all knew—
The line would hold… if she told it to.

[Verse 2]
Five of them came through the smoke,
Scaled and cold and tall,
Speaking words that scraped the bones—
Not men at all.
She fired once—then moved like flame,
Like she'd been forged for this,
And God forgive me, in that breath,
I thought she couldn't miss.

[Pre-Chorus]
We didn’t speak, we didn’t wait,
We just closed ranks and ran—
And somehow found we still were men.

[Chorus]
The girl in the red coat, calling the fight,
Turning our fear into something like right,
Steel met their shadows, fire met their breath—
And we drove them back into death.
We were no unit, no banner, no name,
Just stragglers pulled into someone else’s flame,
But when she said “left,” we were already there—
Like we'd always answered her.

[Bridge]
She didn’t shout, she didn’t rage,
She didn’t curse the sky,
She just looked death in the face of us all—
And told it where to die.
Gun crew gone, the cannon cold,
The street began to shake—
And through the broken line of homes
Came the iron drake.

[Jägernaut Verse]
No wings, no rush, no hunting cry,
It crushed the world instead,
Each step a hammer on the stone,
Each breath a weight of dread.
It did not fear, it did not turn,
It did not break its pace—
Just came as if the war itself
Had found a living face.

[Battle Chorus]
“Closer,” she said as it thundered near,
While men forgot how to hold their fear,
The ground would break but she would not—
So we became the shot.
“Lower—again—now take the joint!”
Every word like a striking point,
And when it fell beneath the smoke—
It felt like something broke.

[Final Chorus]
The girl in the red coat, smoke in her hair,
Standing like she had a kingdom to bear,
We asked her name in the quiet that came—
She only answered with flame.
We were broken, but not that day,
Not while she showed us the way,
And somewhere between the fear and the fight—
She gave us back our right.

[Outro]
We heard it later, whispered low,
The lord’s own daughter’s name—
But I don’t care what truth they tell…
I’d follow her the same.
