Fire Mission on Phase Line Cathy

[Intro] [Radio crackle Fire mission] Gunline up Baseplate bite Tube cold Hands tight Shot Out Splash Out BOOM! [Verse 1] Red lens glow Mud pit breathing Ruck straps cut No one leaving FO whispers Grid comes in FDC turns ghosts Into steel and wind Bipod locked Sight glass shaking Cold hands working No hands breaking Round up Head down Tube-thump Ground pounds Backblast dirt Dip in the teeth Somebody’s pinned Past the treeline beneath We don’t see faces We don’t need names We hear panic Then answer with flame [Pre-Chorus] Fire mission Gunline listen Adjust Confirm Stand by Burn Shot Out Splash Out BOOM! [Chorus] Hang it Drop it Send it Tube-thump BOOM! Baseplate jumping in the blacked-out gloom Shot call Splash call Fire for effect Steel in the sky With a boot on its neck Gunline ghosts In the smoke and the sound We don’t move forward We hold hell down Round complete But the night ain’t done Mortars talk And the dead ground runs [Verse 2] RTO squelch FDC rage Grease pencil marks On a wet range page Charge bag stink Cordite breath Dark jokes dancing On the edge of death Number one steady Number two feeds Squad leader growls Through the radio bleed Danger close No one blinks Blood in the dust And the whole pit thinks Left add Right drop No time Don’t stop Hillline flashes Tree line cracks The front needs thunder So we send it back [Pre-Chorus] Fire mission Gunline listen Check Set Send Reset Shot Out Splash Out BOOM! [Chorus] Hang it Drop it Send it Tube-thump BOOM! Baseplate jumping in the blacked-out gloom Shot call Splash call Fire for effect Steel in the sky With a boot on its neck Gunline ghosts In the smoke and the sound We don’t move forward We hold hell down Round complete But the night ain’t done Mortars talk And the dead ground runs [Breakdown] No medals in the pit No camera, no parade Just red light Cold mud Hot tube Fuze made No glory in the math No sermon in the blast Just brothers on the net Saying make this one fast Shot Out Splash Out Shot Out Splash Out Fire For Effect BOOM!BOOM!BOOM! [Bridge] When the rifle line is choking And the dark starts closing in When the air support is negative And the walls are getting thin When the FO’s voice goes quiet But the grid still cuts through That’s when the backline monsters Wake up inside the tube [Final Chorus] Hang it Drop it Send it Tube-thump BOOM! Baseplate jumping in the blacked-out gloom Shot call Splash call Fire for effect Steel in the sky With a boot on its neck Gunline ghosts In the smoke and the sound We don’t move forward We hold hell down Round complete But the night ain’t done Mortars talk And the dead ground runs [Outro] Round complete Smoke drift Radio dead Tube cool Hands shake Gunline ready BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!
