[Intro]
Silent halls, echoing truth
A soldier's heart, in restless youth
Facing shadows of my own fate
In this quiet, I contemplate
[Verse 1]
Since 2001, I’ve served with pride
Carved through trials, never denied
Six-star rank, a life of grace
But now, exposed to this deadly place
[Pre-Chorus]
Did it all mean something, this sacrifice?
Standing at the edge of my own demise
A Marine’s vow, a nation's call
Now I stand, asking it all
[Chorus]
Is my fight worth this silent goodbye?
A hero’s tears, a questioning sky
Fighting for peace, paying the price
In these final days, I ask why
[Bridge]
Kneeling down, to the divine
Searching for a sign, a reason, a line
Family’s face in my mind’s eye
Hold on to love, let hope fly
[Outro]
Walking my last mile, clear and true
A Marine’s soul, forever new
In the quiet, I find my peace
A hero’s legacy, a lasting release
