Lyrics
[Intro]
They used to cheer when we showed up
Now they film us on their phones
Same armor, same old logo
Whole different tone
[Verse 1]
I remember blue lights, big crowds, banners up high
Kids on shoulders, pointing at us like we could rewrite the sky
We were headlines, heroes, names on every newsstand
Till the credits rolled, budget cut, silence from the command
Omnics waking up, asking why they got a curfew
Posters on the wall saying "Look what Overwatch done to you"
We saved cities, but the bill came later
Broken steel, burned steel, blame on the savior
You see rust on a robot, I see a veteran scar
You see a protest sign, I see a coded memoir
World got gray while they wanted black and white
Now every mission feels like picking lesser kinds of right
[Chorus]
This is payload in the payload
Secrets riding under steel
We were built to be the halo
Now they question if we're real
They say "Who protects the people
When the weapon slips its chain?"
Overwatch against the world now
And the world still feels the pain
[Verse 2]
Newsfeed split screen, burning car, crying face
Anchor asking calmly, "Should they even have a base?"
Old teammates hiding just to walk through a market
Kids throw shade, call us names when we park it
Omnics in the crowd hold candles for their dead
Humans on the corner yelling, "They all share a thread"
Tension in the air like crosshair pressure
Every side got stories, every story got a ledger
Command says "trust us," public says "prove it"
We patch up the damage while they edit the footage
We dive on the bomb, they rewind the frame
Slow motion, one mistake, plastered with our name
Got a mask on my face but my doubts run bare
If the house is on fire, do you argue who owns the stairs?
Push cart, push blame, push lines on a map
While a robot kid asks me if I'm gonna come back
[Chorus]
This is payload in the payload
Secrets riding under steel
We were built to be the halo
Now they question if we're real
They say "Who protects the people
When the weapon slips its chain?"
Overwatch against the world now
And the world still feels the pain
[Bridge]
Are we guardians or ghosts?
Are we stories or scars?
They threw us out the airlock
Now they beg us for the stars
If I fall today, remember
I was human in this suit
Trying to shield a broken planet
From the monsters it recruits
[Chorus]
This is payload in the payload
Secrets riding under steel
We were built to be the halo
Now they question if we're real
They say "Who protects the people
When the weapon slips its chain?"
Overwatch against the world now
And the world still feels the pain
