[Verse 1] I met you in the mud By a fence line blown apart You were laughing like a man With a storm inside his heart We shared one canteen And a name nobody knew By dawn you had my back And I had yours too [Pre-Chorus] The ground kept shaking The sky kept pouring steel But I saw your eyes And I knew this was real No speeches, no promise Just a hand in the dark One breath, one fire One hardening heart [Chorus] Brothers in the blast Brothers in the blast Born in the chaos Built to last When the world went wild We held on fast Brothers in the blast Brothers in the blast [Verse 2] I learned your kid’s first name You learned my old hometown We traded broken stories While the shells came down You took a hit for me I carried you the rest That’s how strangers turn to steel That’s how boys become the best [Pre-Chorus] The ground kept shaking The sky kept pouring steel But I saw your eyes And I knew this was real No speeches, no promise Just a hand in the dark One breath, one fire One hardening heart [Chorus] Brothers in the blast Brothers in the blast Born in the chaos Built to last When the world went wild We held on fast Brothers in the blast Brothers in the blast [Bridge] And if I make it home I’ll still hear your voice In the grit and the thunder In the dead-end noise Some bonds don’t bend Some bonds don’t break They’re forged where the fear lives And sealed by the ache [Final Chorus] Brothers in the blast Brothers in the blast Born in the chaos Built to last Through the smoke and flame We held on fast Brothers in the blast Brothers in the blast
