[Impact Run — 120mm then three mortar hits across four beats; groove continues] BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. [Verse 2 — high gritty tenor; infantry, tread and mortar rhythms interlock] One-twenty opens north, mortar steel walks east Three-One cuts the seam before the smoke can lift Set—cross—move—the whole line pours through the break War wagons hold the crossing while the rifle teams take The north gun disappears; the east gun breaks and runs Across Route Michigan, then starts the lane again [Rising Refrain — high gritty lead, crew shouts] Call it in, call it closer Bring the thunder, burn it down Say it clear— “SEND IT!” And the sky answers now [Keyhole Handoff — full band; orange smoke, tremolo and jet whine rise] [Three-One radio comms] “Strongpoint across Michigan.
