[Verse 1]
Mud on the boots and smoke in the air,
Men standing ready though death is there
Bluecoats slumped where the trench runs low,
Some never wake, some drift too slow
A mist rolls in without warning sound,
Cold hands pulling soldiers down
Silent breath in a poisoned tide—
Taking men before they fight
[Pre-Chorus]
But we don’t run—we don’t break—
Not for every breath they take
[Chorus]
Hold the line, don’t let it fall,
Stand your ground through the smoke and all
Steel in hand and faith in sight,
We’ll drag the dawn back from the night
They come unseen, but we stand strong,
We won’t let this go too long
No backing down, no giving in—
We’re gonna hold the line again
[Verse 2 (Andrew)]
Andrew grips that old blade tight,
Drake’s Doom hums in silent might
He don’t speak of what he’s done—
Quezacotl burned, Gnar was one
He steps ahead where danger hides,
Feels the shift the others ride
“Left side—low—they’re moving in,”
No fear—just knowing where they’ve been
Dragons watch from far away,
’Cause they know what that blade can slay
[Verse 3 (Amanda)]
Amanda stands with steady breath,
Rose-colored lenses, sight of death
Through that glass the world turns clear,
Every hidden threat appears
“Three… no—five—low and near,
They’re trying to break us here”
She doesn’t guess, she doesn’t miss—
Every shot is sealed like this
Finger tight, and then—
One unseen falls again
[Verse 4 (Zach)]
Then Zach explodes into the fray,
Boots that launch the earth away
Jumping Jack steps hit like thunder,
Breaking lines and tearing under
“Mule kick!”—the ground gives way,
Darkness scatters where he stays
Redcoats follow in his wake—
No room left for error’s sake
[Verse 5 (The Breach)]
Bluecoats down—but not for long,
Andrew’s voice cuts sharp and strong
“Get them up—don’t let them sleep—
Hold the line and hold it deep!”
Amanda fires—clean and fast,
Zach breaks what won’t hold fast
Andrew points—“Now!”—
And the darkness folds somehow
[Bridge (Two-Sight Strike)]
A shape moves where no one sees,
Hidden in the poisoned breeze
Andrew lifts the blade in hand,
Calls the line and takes his stand
Amanda shifts—lens catching truth—
She sees the threat, she sees the proof
“Now,” he says—and in one line,
Her shot lands perfectly in time
Steel and shot in perfect thread—
And what was hidden… now lies dead
[Chorus (Final)]
Hold the line, don’t let it fall,
Stand your ground through the smoke and all
Steel in hand and fire in sight,
We’re dragging dawn back into the night
They come unseen, but we don’t fear,
We hold the line right here and here
No backing down, no giving in—
We’re gonna hold the line again
[Outro]
Boots in mud and smoke in the air…
Men still standing, battered but there
Not the end—not even close—
Just the line they chose to hold the most
And somewhere out beyond the fight—
The dragons watch… and count the cost of light
