[Verse 1]
Steel in my veins, heart pounding in the dirt,
Boots kicked the gravel, blood smeared on my shirt.
Shadow of the ridge, whispers from the pine,
Victory tastes bitter, sweeter than the wine.
Hawks circle high, smoke spirals low,
Echoes of the war drums, stories that they told.
Blades sang songs, now silence grips the land,
Dust settles slow, rifle still in my hand.
[Chorus]
Oh, we rise when the thunder falls,
We bleed through the cannon calls.
Through fire, through pain, through a shattered sky,
We stand tall with a battle cry.
[Verse 2]
Bullets like bees, stingers in the air,
Sweat on my brow, battle’s never fair.
Barbed wire dreams, tangled in the night,
Prayers on my lips, fists clenched for the fight.
Mud on the field, red rivers carved,
Every scar a map, every wound starved.
The ghosts in my head dance under the moon,
Victory's a fiddle, played out of tune.
[Chorus]
Oh, we rise when the thunder falls,
We bleed through the cannon calls.
Through fire, through pain, through a shattered sky,
We stand tall with a battle cry.
