[Verse 1]
He came home with a straight-line stare
Boots by the door, scars everywhere
Never sleeps too deep, never drinks too long
He hears one crack and he’s already gone
Hands like iron, eyes like glass
He’s seen the worst and it never passed
When the room goes still, I feel the strain
Like he’s built to live inside the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t call it fear
He calls it fate
One bad sign
And he won’t wait
[Chorus]
Ready to react
When danger strikes
Ready to react
He jumps to life
One step wrong
He’s in the fight
Ready to react
Ready to react
[Verse 2]
He checks every corner, every parked-up car
Reads a dead-quiet room like a war
Used to take commands, now he takes the hit
Never backs down, never quits one bit
He says, “I’ve seen enough to know”
“Bad things come fast and move too low”
So if the whole world shakes in place
He stands up first with a soldier’s face
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t call it fear
He calls it fate
One bad sign
And he won’t wait
[Chorus]
Ready to react
When danger strikes
Ready to react
He jumps to life
One step wrong
He’s in the fight
Ready to react
Ready to react
[Bridge]
He carried the weight
Then he came back hard
Now every shadow
Throws up a guard
If trouble comes
He won’t step back
He was built to answer
Built to attack
[Final Chorus]
Ready to react
When danger strikes
Ready to react
He jumps to life
One step wrong
He’s in the fight
Ready to react
Ready to react
Ready to react
He never blinks
Ready to react
Before you think
One step wrong
He’s in the fight
Ready to react
Ready to react
