[Verse 1]
Dante came home bone-tired
Dust in his lungs, truth in his teeth
Afghanistan in the rearview
Iraq still crawling under his skin
He kissed the porch like a ghost
Then the world came to collect its debt
A bullet through the safe-house silence
And the night said, "You ain't done yet"
[Pre-Chorus]
He watched the ceiling split
He heard his brother's name
A piece of shit took everything
But couldn't take the flame
[Chorus]
You can't drag Dante down
You can't drag Dante down
Hell knows his face now
Hell knows his face now
He was built for the storm
He was built for the storm
Devil, keep your distance
Dante won't fall
[Verse 2]
His brother fell to a coward
Cold ground, bare hands, no justice
He carried that rage like shrapnel
Under the ribs, under the bruises
Demons came with their sweet talk
Offered him peace in a blackened robe
He spat blood at the mirror
Said, "I still got a road"
[Pre-Chorus]
He watched the ceiling split
He heard his brother's name
A piece of shit took everything
But couldn't take the flame
[Chorus]
You can't drag Dante down
You can't drag Dante down
Hell knows his face now
Hell knows his face now
He was built for the storm
He was built for the storm
Devil, keep your distance
Dante won't fall
[Bridge]
Let the red keep rising
Let the grave keep calling
He walked through fire for the living
With a heart that keeps on warning
If the dead want company
Tell them he'll arrive in time
But he won't kneel in the dark
He'll turn that dark into a line
[Final Chorus]
You can't drag Dante down
You can't drag Dante down
Hell knows his face now
Hell knows his face now
He was built for the storm
He was built for the storm
Devil, keep your distance
Dante won't fall
Fuck around and find out!
