[Intro] [heavy marching cadence, stomp-stomp-clap] Left, right Boots bite dirt in time Hearts beat Same drum, same line Voices rise One word, one spine Stronger together This is the front line (hey!) [Verse 1] Duffel on the shoulder, bus ride haze Mama at the window, tear-streaked face Name on your chest, flag on the gate Fear in your throat but you walk in straight Early in the dark with the cold in your lungs Shouting out a creed till it carves your tongue Sweat on your back, steel in your stare You don’t back down, you belong right there [Chorus] March like thunder, hearts like steel Stand up taller, this is real You carry more than your own last name You’re the line, you’re the shield, you’re the flame Head up, soldier, sing that song Proud and ready, built for strong When the world leans hard, you won’t break, you’ll rise You’re the reason freedom sleeps at night [Verse 2] Sand in your teeth, sun beating down Gear on your spine feels a hundred pounds Letters in your locker from the life you knew But the ones to your left, they’re your family too Drills in your ear say “trust your team” You move as one through the smoke and the screams Courage isn’t quiet, it shakes, then stands It’s the fear in your chest turning into your hands (yeah) [Chorus] March like thunder, hearts like steel Stand up taller, this is real You carry more than your own last name You’re the line, you’re the shield, you’re the flame Head up, soldier, sing that song Proud and ready, built for strong When the world leans hard, you won’t break, you’ll rise You’re the reason freedom sleeps at night [Bridge] [drums and chant, guitars muted] Left, right, every state, one stride Different towns, same pride, same drive Raise that flag, feel the chill in your spine You’re the ones who stand, so the rest can live their lives (ho!) [Chorus] March like thunder, hearts like steel Stand up taller, this is real You carry more than your own last name You’re the line, you’re the shield, you’re the flame Head up, soldier, sing that song Proud and ready, built for strong When the doubt creeps in, look around, hold tight You’re the reason freedom sleeps at night (at night)

rap, Hybrid alt-rock and hip-hop opus with male vocals; opens on stomping snares and layered marching boots, a lone distorted riff pulsing like a siren. First verse rides a gritty halftime groove with booming low end and tight rap delivery. Chorus explodes into soaring rock vocals, wide guitars, and gang shouts on key phrases. Bridge strips to toms, chant, and bass before a final, higher-key chorus with stacked harmonies and a long, ringing crash., hip hop, strong, alternative rock

March Like Thunder
