[Intro] [fast-paced drums, distorted electric guitar riff] (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) [Verse 1] [palm-muted electric guitar] Soft breeze on the deck, mourning in the dark Sponsor of Sileo, set the spark [drum fill, full band enters] (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Strike Squad Five with cannons in our hands Gifted by the sponsor to cross these cursed lands An ice dragon girl shifts with every change A samurai woman death could not contain An ancient stone soldier carried wildfire in his chest A shadow man with a cane and a hat against the rest Then a sailor joined the crew with a grin that lit the way He raised our broken spirit when the whole world shook and quaked [Pre-Chorus] [bass-driven rhythm, syncopated guitar stabs] We hit the skeleton ship, bolted iron to the bone Through the ocean of darkness, we were never going home The crew took aim together as the black tide roared below One more step, one more scream, and we still set go [Chorus] [high-energy drums, layered vocal harmonies] Strike Squad Five, Strike Squad Five We sail through the night Strike Squad Five, Strike Squad Five We burn through the tide Strike Squad Five, if the dark wants our names It can choke on the light (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Strike Squad Five, Strike Squad Five We're making it to the second fight [Verse 2] [driving rock beat] Colossal beast came rising, we answer with holy fire Cannons tore the silence, skeleton crew on the wire But the ribcage bow was cracking as the sea bit through our pride Dark water laced the marrow and twisted what lived inside Some were gifted mutant power, some were wounded by the change Some saw beauty in the horror, some just raged against the strange We're merit on the horizon and time itself gone wrong We clenched our fists in daylight and kept marching strong [Pre-Chorus] [building intensity] The glass was stained and broken, the streets forgot their names So we stood a little taller in the middle of the shame If the core keeps pulling harder, if the dark comes back for more We'll load the ship again and head straight for the core [Chorus] Strike Squad Five, Strike Squad Five We sail through the night Strike Squad Five, Strike Squad Five We burn through the tide Strike Squad Five, if the dark wants our names It can choke on the light (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Strike Squad Five, Strike Squad Five We're making it to the second fight [Bridge] [half-time feel, melodic guitar solo] Shadow in the mirror, don't you lose your way Stone and dragon heartbeat keep the madness at bay Sailor sing us higher, samurai rise again To the corrupted domain, meets the end of a song [vocal swell] (Oh-oh-oh-oh) [Chorus] Strike Squad Five, Strike Squad Five We sail through the night Strike Squad Five, Strike Squad Five We burn through the tide Strike Squad Five, if the dark wants our names It can choke on the light (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Strike Squad Five, Strike Squad Five We're making it to the second fight [Outro] Strike Squad Five, Strike Squad Five We don't bow, we fight Strike Squad Five, Strike Squad Five We reach the core tonight (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Strike Squad Five [final guitar chord rings out]
