WHERE WERE YOU?!

[Intro – Engines rumbling in late, boots splashing through debris]
About damn time…
You hear that?
That’s not cheering.
That’s the sound of men dying because you weren’t here sooner.

[Verse 1 – Controlled fury, voice shaking with grief]
What happened?
Where were you?
We called you thirty minutes back—
THIRTY.
And in those minutes…
I lost good soldiers I can’t get back.

You see that ridge?
That smear of smoke and red?
That’s where Private Hollis fell,
bleeding out with his hand on his helmet
begging for a medic
who didn’t show up.

Don’t look at me with excuses.
Don’t tell me “traffic on the line.”
My troops aren’t numbers on your clipboard—
they are the reason you’re still alive.

[Pre-Chorus – Rage boiling over]
We held the line without ammo.
We dragged the wounded through fire.
We screamed for help until our voices cracked—
and you weren’t there.

[Chorus – Commander’s shout across the landing zone]
Where were you?!
We needed you when the night was bleeding!
Where were you?!
We held on while the sky was screaming!

Now patch who’s left—
because the ones we lost
won’t get another breath.
Where were you?!
Next time…
don’t let my soldiers die waiting.

⸻

[Verse 2 – Softer, but still sharp]
I’m not asking for miracles—
I’m asking for presence.
When we say we’re hit,
you move.
When we say we’re dying,
you fly.
When we say we need a medic—
you don’t hesitate,
you arrive.

Look at their faces.
Look at those still breathing.
Look at the ones who aren’t.
Burn those images into your soul—
because this is the cost of late.

[Bridge – Low, tense, almost whispering]
We’ll accept your supplies.
We’ll accept your stretchers.
But don’t expect forgiveness—
not until you prove
you’ll never leave us in the dark again.

[Final Chorus – Fire returning to his voice]
Where were you?!
We shouted through hellfire flames!
Where were you?!
Your silence carved their names!

But hear me now—
this is not our ending.
Patch them up, fuel us up—
we’re not bending.

Where were you?!
Doesn’t matter now…
because we still have a war to win.
