The cost of war

This cinematic alternative rock anthem moves at a slow march, grounded by thunderous, echoing kick and snare locked with pulsing tom accents, Verses lay on palm-muted, gritty guitars and deep pads, with reverb-drenched leads weaving tension, Sparse piano marks fragile breakdowns, Subtle synths and rare, ironic choir pads expand the atmosphere while male and female vocals blend in restrained, breathy low harmonies, clear diction, and ad-libs, Guitar and space dominate; every transition is patient and evocative

[Intro – Spoken | Broadcast Tone | Filtered]
For Super Earth.
For freedom.
For democracy.

[Verse 1 – Low, Steady, Marching]
Boots hit dirt while the sky splits red
Another world we were told needs “help”
Armor clean, but my hands still shake
From the last time we made that same mistake
They said we’re saviors, said we’re right
Said the cause burns brighter than the night
But every crater tells a different tale
Every victory smells like something failed
Flags wave high but the dirt stays red
Every promise sounds better than the dead
They call us brave, say we chose this fight 
Say history’s written by who survives 
But every step feels heavier now
Like the truth’s been buried in the sound
We march straight through the smoke and flame 
Same orders shouted, different names 
No time to stop, no time to grieve
Just forward motion and disbelief

[Pre-Chorus – Rising, emotional]
We scream the words so we don’t hear 
The static screaming in our ears 
If freedom costs what we just paid
Why it feel like we’re the ones gettin’ claimed?

[Chorus – Big, anthemic, melodic]
This is the cost of war (cost of war)
Metal rain, bodies on the floor (on the floor)
We salute, then we redeploy (again)
Another world we’ll never enjoy 
This is the cost of war (cost of war)
Press the button, hear the roar (boom)
They call it right, they call it just 
But it’s paid in bone and blood and dust (paid in blood)

[post chorus]
For Super Earth. (For Super Earth.)
For freedom. (For freedom.)
For democracy. (For democracy)

[Verse 2 – More urgent, emotional]
Fire rains down like it’s heaven-sent 
But nothing holy’s in the wreckage 
You hear your name get called too late
By a voice that cracks from the same mistake
They say don’t think, just hold the line 
Say doubt is weakness, fear’s a crime 
But courage bends when the ground gives way
And you start counting days by what you pray
You don’t feel strong when the dust clears out
You just feel lucky to still be around 
And luck runs thin in a place like this
Where survival feels like theft

[Pre-Chorus – Stripped, darker]
We stand real tall, but inside we shake 
Every step’s a chance we take 
They call it duty, call it fate
But fate don’t bleed—we do

[post chorus]
For Super Earth. (For Super Earth.)
For freedom. (For freedom.)
For democracy. (For democracy)

[Outro – Soft, Broken Broadcast]
This is the cost of war (cost of war)
Metal rain, bodies on the floor (on the floor)
We salute, then we redeploy (again)
Another world we’ll never enjoy 
For Super Earth. (For Super Earth.)
For freedom. (For freedom.)
For democracy. (For democracy)
