[Verse 1]
Dust in my teeth
burn in my lungs
Fatigue of combat
day’s just begun
Green eyes glow
through that NV haze
Zhari on fire
same dirt, new day
Rip Ingram, walls
names in my head
Michel, Fitzgibbon
talk to the dead
Mark 19 bark
moonlight rain
.50 cal hush
big rounds, no fame
[Chorus]
Green eyes in Zhari
we don’t sleep, we just wait (yeah)
Silent killers in the valley
pray the latch on the gate don’t break
If I make it out, I’m never the same
but I’m still gonna carry those names
Green eyes in Zhari
every step, every breath, that weight
[Verse 2]
Sand in the feed tray
blood in the dirt
Joke through the fear
laugh till it hurts
Walls in my mind
higher than these hesco rows
Every new blast
another ghost I know
Mark 19 thump
sky starts to bleed
.50 on overwatch
doing the deed
Home feels foreign
war feels home
I walk in a crowd
but I walk alone
[Chorus]
Green eyes in Zhari
we don’t sleep, we just wait (oh)
Silent killers in the valley
pray the latch on the gate don’t break
If I make it out, I’m never the same
but I’m still gonna carry those names
Green eyes in Zhari
every step, every breath, that weight
