Man Down

(Verse 1)

Sirens in the distance, boots hit the ground

Smoke in the air when the sky’s falling down

Blood on my hands but I’m holding the line

You scream my name, I swear you’re not dying tonight

(Pre-Chorus)

Through the fire, through the pain, through the dread

Hear me now—don’t you slip into the dead

(Chorus)

Man down, I hear the cry in the night

I won’t run, I’m ready to fight

God keeps me up, gives me the strength I’ve found

I won’t back out when there’s a man down

Man down, but you will not fade away

I’m still breathing, I’m here to stay

I won’t leave you for dead, hear what I said

I’ll carry your weight for all the miles ahead

(Verse 2)

Heartbeat’s fading but I won’t let go

Dragging you through hell, through the fire and smoke

Every step feels like breaking bone

But I swore an oath—you’re not dying alone

(Pre-Chorus)

Hear the chaos, feel the ground shake beneath

But I’ll stand tall in the face of defeat

(Chorus)

Man down, I hear the cry in the night

I won’t run, I’m ready to fight

God keeps me up, through the fear and the sound

I won’t back out when there’s a man down

Man down, but you will not fade away

I’m still breathing, I’m here to stay

I won’t leave you for dead, hear what I said

I’ll carry your weight for all the miles ahead

(Bridge – breakdown)

If this is where my story ends—

Then I’ll go down with my brother, my friend

No fear, no doubt, no turning around

I will die for you before I hit the ground

(Final Chorus)

Man down, but we’re rising again

Through the fire, through the blood, through the pain

God keeps me up, gives me the strength I found

No one gets left when there’s a man down

Man down, but you’re not fading away

I’m still breathing, I’m here to stay

I won’t leave you for dead, I’ll stand instead

Yeah, I’ll give it all—every drop I’ve bled

(Outro)

Man down… not on my watch

Not today… not ever again
