Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dante came home with a limp in his step
Two wars in his head, and a hole in his chest
Scars on his hands from a different hell
Kept his mouth shut tight, never told it well
Got off the plane, thought peace would stay
Then a gun went off and it took that day
Now his brother gone, just a photo and smoke
One more loss on a back that broke
[Pre-Chorus]
They circle slow when the night gets cold
Try to pull that rope, try to take his soul
But he bites right back when the dark comes near
Hear that name in the dark? They fear Dante here
[Chorus]
Dante won't die, Dante won't fall
Dante won't break when the demons call
Dante won't die, say it right now
Devil keep watch, but he backs down
[Verse 2]
He saw sand turn red, saw men turn to stone
Came back to a town where he still felt alone
Ain't no medal shine can cover that pain
Ain't no prayer line wash out that stain
Every night it comes with a rough, cold grin
That old black grief tryin' to climb back in
But he locks that door and he holds that line
Got a wolf in his heart and a spark in his spine
[Pre-Chorus]
They circle slow when the night gets cold
Try to pull that rope, try to take his soul
But he bites right back when the dark comes near
Hear that name in the dark? They fear Dante here
[Chorus]
Dante won't die, Dante won't fall
Dante won't break when the demons call
Dante won't die, say it right now
Devil keep watch, but he backs down
[Bridge]
If you see him shiver, don't call it fear
That's a storm in a man who survived too near
He don't need a crown, he don't need a throne
Just let him stand when the dead roll home
[Final Chorus]
Dante won't die, Dante won't fall
Dante won't break when the demons call
Dante won't die, say it right now
Devil keep watch, but he backs down
Dante won't die, Dante won't fall
He came back hard, and he outlasted all
