[Intro]
Short blade
Short breath
Mud, smoke
Smell of death
[Verse 1]
Boots tap on broken stone
Whole squad gone, he walks alone
Eyes like winter on a war-torn shore
Seen so much, he don't feel no more
Blood on the cloak, just dries, stays
Duty in his veins, that grime, that haze
Names in his head like a roll call list
He lives on edge where the dead persist
Spins through the air, that's storm, that's scar
Cuts through giants like a falling star
He don't brag, don't pose for the scene
He cleans his blades, he cleans his grief
[Chorus]
He move like thunder, you don't hear sound
Only see bodies already on the ground
Cold as the silence after a scream
Captain in the dark, tearing through your dream
He move like thunder, never off beat
Death in his eyes, but he stays on his feet
If hell has heroes carved in stone
His face the one that stands alone (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Tea on the table, hands still shake
Flashback hits like the earth might break
Orders barked in a low, flat tone
Heart locked tight like a secret code
He seen wings fall from the highest sky
Held that weight, never learned to cry
If there's hope, it's the kids he raised
He walks ahead so they see that blaze
Steam in the air, red rains, gray smoke
He cuts, he twists through the hanging cloaks
Every spin, every step, one vow
"I bleed today so they breathe somehow"
[Chorus]
He move like thunder, you don't hear sound
Only see bodies already on the ground
Cold as the silence after a scream
Captain in the dark, tearing through your dream
He move like thunder, never off beat
Death in his eyes, but he stays on his feet
If hell has heroes carved in stone
His face the one that stands alone (stands alone)
[Bridge]
Low voice praying for the ones long gone (yeah)
High steel singing as it bites at dawn
World so cruel, but his will so tight
Tiny frame carrying all that fight
[Chorus]
He move like thunder, you don't hear sound
Only see bodies already on the ground
Cold as the silence after a scream
Captain in the dark, tearing through your dream
He move like thunder, never off beat
Death in his eyes, but he stays on his feet
If hell has heroes carved in stone
He walks the line till they make it home
