Dante Won't Fall

Dante came back bent

Dust in his teeth

Old war in his hands

New scars on his sleeve

Boots on the welcome mat

Heart full of sand

He learned how to breathe

With a rifle in his head

Home ain't peace

It's just a different fight

They took his sleep

But not his right

Black dogs circle

Bare their teeth

He stands his ground

On broken knees

Dante won't fall

Dante won't die

The dark comes close

He still looks it in the eye

Dante won't fall

Dante won't die

Hell knows his name

And it fears the fire inside

(fears the fire)

(fears the fire)

Lost his brother

To a filthy hand

One cold shot

In a parking lot stand

Now every night

That wound gets loud

He sees that face

In a folding crowd

Grief in his jaw

Steel in his spine

He swore no more

Gets left behind

Home ain't peace

It's just a different fight

They took his sleep

But not his right

Black dogs circle

Bare their teeth

He stands his ground

On broken knees

Dante won't fall

Dante won't die

The dark comes close

He still looks it in the eye

Dante won't fall

Dante won't die

Hell knows his name

And it fears the fire inside

(fears the fire)

(fears the fire)

Let the demons come

Let them claw the door

Let the devil watch

He can't own this war

From Afghanistan

To the streets of hell

Dante rises hard

And he rises well

Say his name

He stands

Say his name

He stands

Shot down, dragged down

Still he stands

Dante won't fall

Dante won't die

The dark comes close

He still looks it in the eye

Dante won't fall

Dante won't die

Hell knows his name

And it fears the fire inside

(fears the fire)

(fears the fire)

Dante won't fall

Fuck around and find out mother fucker.
