Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ash in the air Tag on your chest Laugh in the dark “Let ‘em send their best” (hey) You talk about Maria Like she’s right there by your side Loading every memory Into one last fight [Chorus] This is Santiago’s last stand Bloody hands Broken armor in the sand You ran toward the fire Not away Ripped my heart from the Locust that day You gave it all So I could walk on Your name’s the weight in every gun I hold Santiago’s last stand Turned a war zone into gold [Verse 2] You pushed me up the hallway Shoved the fear back in my throat “Don’t you make this my goodbye You get out and you stay afloat” Door slams World shakes You’re a silhouette in flame I scream till my voice breaks Still you never look away [Chorus] This is Santiago’s last stand Bloody hands Broken armor in the sand You ran toward the fire Not away Ripped my heart from the Locust that day You gave it all So I could walk on Your name’s the weight in every gun I hold Santiago’s last stand Turned a war zone into gold [Bridge] I still set two plates when I’m back at base (oh) Still hear your trash talk Filling up the space Every gear I spin Every breach I clear You’re the echo in my ear Saying “I’m still here” [Chorus] This is Santiago’s last stand But your shadow’s marching with the squad again You ran toward the fire Not away Lit a path through the ash and the rage You gave it all So I could walk on Your name’s the weight in every gun I hold Santiago’s last stand But your courage never gets old (never gets old)
