Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boots by the door Coffee gone cold on the counter Scanner hums low Name on a patch Not a banner Sirens cut through Midnight Morning Doesn’t matter Family in frames They kiss the glass Then the ladder [Chorus] Here’s to the ones who hold the line Running in while we’re running blind Smoke and steel and shattered sky They don’t ask who They don’t ask why Here’s to the hearts that never hide Fire Flood Or the frontlines If you’re standing in the dark of night They’re the reason that the dawn arrives [Verse 2] Blue on the street Writing reports in the rain Talking down rage Carrying strangers’ pain Camouflage sleeves Dust in their teeth Always ready Gloves on the gurney Hands that stay calm and steady [Chorus] Here’s to the ones who hold the line Running in while we’re running blind Smoke and steel and shattered sky They don’t ask who They don’t ask why Here’s to the hearts that never hide Fire Flood Or the frontlines If you’re standing in the dark of night They’re the reason that the dawn arrives [Bridge] They’ve seen things they never say (oh) Folded flags and empty chairs But they still lace up each day Swearing one more oath out there We sleep easy Unaware Of every quiet Answered prayer [Chorus] Here’s to the ones who hold the line Running in while we’re running blind Smoke and steel and shattered sky They don’t ask who They don’t ask why Here’s to the hearts that never hide Fire Flood Or the frontlines If you’re standing in the dark of night They’re the reason that the dawn arrives They’re the reason that the dawn arrives (hey!) They’re the reason that the dawn arrives

rock, Big-room rock anthem with soaring male vocals, crunchy rhythm guitars, and driving tom-heavy drums. Verses stay tight and tense with palm-muted riffs and bass in a steady march; chorus explodes with wide power chords, gang shouts, and cymbal wash. Bridge pulls back to half-time with cleaner guitars and a single vocal climbing into a final key-lift chorus., tribute
