Through midnight rain

Verse 1

Red lights cutting through the midnight rain

Static on the radio, calling out my name

City’s holding its breath, hearts under lock and key

When fear starts knocking, it’s knocking for me

Pre-Chorus

No cape, no crown, just boots on the ground

Running toward the noise when the sirens sound

Chorus

We’re the shadow at your door when the alarm cries out

Standing in the fire, standing our ground

No promises made, but we won’t back down

When the line is crossed, we’re the armed response

Verse 2

Broken glass, echoing footsteps fade

Another long night, another choice made

Not heroes in headlines, not villains in chains

Just holding the balance in a city of strain

Pre-Chorus

Every second weighs like a loaded die

Do or don’t—someone lives or dies

Chorus

We’re the shadow at your door when the alarm cries out

Standing in the fire, standing our ground

No promises made, but we won’t back down

When the line is crossed, we’re the armed response

Bridge (Break it down)

It’s not about the trigger, not about the steel

It’s about the moment when it all gets real

Fear in your eyes, fear in mine

We draw the line so you don’t have to this time

(guitar solo – raw, a little dirty)

Final Chorus

Yeah, the city sleeps lighter when the lights go red

We carry the weight of the words unsaid

Call it duty, call it a cost we pay

We answer the call—no matter the day

Outro

When the silence falls and the smoke is gone

We fade back out with the coming dawn

No glory found, just the truth we know—

Someone’s gotta stand when the world says no
