[Verse 1]
Dante came home with the dust still on him
Two wars in his eyes, same weight on him
Afghanistan nights, Iraqi days
Held his own in the fire, now he walkin' in mud
Got hit back home, same scar, same pain
Whole block seen him bleed, they still learned his name
Doctors said "slow," he said "nah, I got plans"
With a hole in his past and a fist full of sand
[Pre-Chorus]
Demons on his neck, tryna talk him down
Old devil grin when the lights go out
He clenched his jaw, let the hate pass through
Said, "I been to hell, you ain't nothin' new"
[Chorus]
Dante won't die
Dante won't die
(come take a shot)
He still stands up
Dante won't die
Dante won't die
(he ain't the one)
Fear him now
[Verse 2]
Lost his brother to a piece of shit trigger
One second there, next second gone quicker
Mama don't cry, but her hands shake hard
His name in the room like a hole in the yard
Now he ride with the ghost of that last goodbye
Chain on his chest, but the pain on high
Every night he fights what the dark brings near
Still spits in the face of the thing he fears
[Pre-Chorus]
Demons on his neck, tryna talk him down
Old devil grin when the lights go out
He clenched his jaw, let the hate pass through
Said, "I been to hell, you ain't nothin' new"
[Chorus]
Dante won't die
Dante won't die
(come take a shot)
He still stands up
Dante won't die
Dante won't die
(he ain't the one)
Fear him now
[Bridge]
He ain't holy, he ain't clean
But he got a line those shadows can't lean
Brother in his heart, war in his spine
He took the hit and he crossed that line
If death come slow, better come alone
'Cause Dante don't bow, he don't break bones
[Chorus]
Dante won't die
Dante won't die
(come take a shot)
He still stands up
Dante won't die
Dante won't die
(he ain't the one)
Fear him now
