[Intro]
If I die in a combat zone
box me up and ship me home
pin my medals on my chest
tell my momma I did my best
tell her when she goes down to sleep
remember me but don't you weep
in my coffin I will lie
grounded to inspection side
sound off,1,2
sound off,3,4
bring it on down,1,2,3,4,1,2
…… 3,4
[Verse]
Boots scuffed, dust storms painted his fate
Dog tags janglin', heavy on the weight
Letters home crumpled in a pocket of fear
His heartbeat a snare, death drum in his ear
Rifles hum lullabies, shells carve the air
His breath wrote a poem, lost to despair
Horizon bleeds red, shadows dance with the sun
He was a soldier, but now he's everyone
[Prechorus]
Every name, every face, carved into the night
His story burns bright, in the fading fight
[Chorus]
Echoes in the fire, ashes in the rain
He’s a ghost in the wire, but we carry his name
Through the smoke, through the haze, his memory stays
Echoes in the fire, forever he remains
[Verse 2]
Blood-soaked earth, battlefield a canvas of screams
The night swallowed dreams, stitched by the seams
Laughs shared in the trench, now haunt the skies
His jokes still ricochet, where silence lies
Camouflage became shrouds, brothers in grief
His spirit’s a thief, stealing moments too brief
The moon wore his shadow, stars blinked his tears
The marine lives on, through the bond of his
peers
[Prechorus]
Every name, every face, carved into the night
His story burns bright, in the fading fight
[Chorus]
Echoes in the fire, ashes in the rain
He’s a ghost in the wire, but we carry his name
Through the smoke, through the haze, his memory stays
[outro]
If I die in a combat zone
box me up and ship me home
pin my medals on my chest
tell my momma I did my best
tell her when she goes down to sleep
remember me but don't you weep
in my coffin I will lie
grounded to inspection side
sound off,1,2
sound off,3,4
bring it on down,1,2,3,4,1,2
…… 3,4
