[Intro] [Verse] He crawled out of hell with a pulse and a name Left pieces of himself in the killing rain Brain still screams when the night goes quiet Heart beats hard like it’s starting a riot Sleep comes fast with a blade in his hand Every breath feels stolen from a fallen man He don’t pray anymore, just counts his scars Maps the war by the dead and the burning stars (Pre-Chorus) They say the war is over—liars, all of them They say the war is over—liars, all of them It just moved inside his head (Chorus) He’s a weapon with a heartbeat, a shield made of bone Stands in the blast so they don’t stand alone Brothers and sisters stitched from pain Baptized in blood, baptized in flame Not by blood, not by law But by what we lost and what we saw If death comes knocking, he answers first Let it take him before it takes the hurt (Verse 2) His mind’s a battlefield, never went home Every memory armed, every thought primed to blow Trust was buried in a shallow grave Right next to the parts of him they couldn’t save He reads fear like a loaded gun Knows who’s ready and who’s already done If you’re marked as his, you’re under his skin Cross that line and the war begins (Pre-Chorus) He don’t flinch, he don’t freeze, he don’t beg He’s already bled for less (Chorus) He’s a weapon with a heartbeat, a shield made of bone Stands in the blast so they don’t stand alone Brothers and sisters stitched from pain Baptized in blood, baptized in flame Not by blood, not by law But by what we lost and what we saw If death comes knocking, he answers first Let it take him before it takes the hurt (Bridge) (Breakdown) He’s held the line with shaking hands Watched the good die where they stand Screamed their names into the dirt Carried the weight of every hurt No saviors came, no angels stayed Just broken souls who learned to rage So he became the storm they fear The last thing standing when the end is near (Final Chorus) He’s a war still breathing, a vow in the dark A living scar with a burning heart Family forged where the world collapsed In the aftermath, in the body bags Not by blood, not by fate But by the fire we couldn’t escape If the world wants blood, it’ll bleed through him Because he’ll die before he lets it winHe’s not healed. He’s not whole. He’s just the one who won’t let go. Forged in the same fire. And that’s enough.
