Brothers in Blue

Mud on the armor

Carbon scoring on the seams

Wake to the siren

Rip ourselves out of a dream

Names scratched on the helmets

’Cause the numbers fade too fast

We joke in the dropship

Like this jump won’t be our last

We are the 501

Brothers in blue

Born to storm the sky

Marching into fire

Side by side

We never ask why

From planet to planet

Leaving our boots in the dust behind

We are the 501

If one goes down

We’re all on the line (hey!)

Smoke in the hangar

Boot prints burned into the floor

Orders in static

Another breached

Another war

Paint chips on the shoulder

Every mark a memory

We follow our captain

’Til the orders turn on me

We are the 501

Brothers in blue

Born to storm the sky

Marching into fire

Side by side

We never ask why

From planet to planet

Leaving our boots in the dust behind

We are the 501

If one goes down

We’re all on the line

Do you hear them calling?

Every lost squad

Every missing name

Under all this armor

There’s a heart that beats the same (oh-oh)

If the stars forget us

We’ll still carry what we’ve done

Every ghost behind us

Marches on in every run

We are the 501

Brothers in blue

Born to storm the sky

Marching into fire

Side by side

We never ask why

From planet to planet

Leaving our boots in the dust behind

We are the 501

’Til the last man falls

We hold the line
