[Verse] James Curtis joins the ranks of brave unknowns Smuggled in the brigade like a ghost grown Marching with the soldiers to a fiery fate Cannon fire's roaring Men's lives dissipate [Verse 2] Heart pounding louder than the drums of war He masks his fear but can't ignore The fallen heroes lying in the mud A young boy's tears mix with warriors' blood [Chorus] Runaway soldier with a secret heart In the heat of battle where shadows dart Young and reckless amidst the iron rain Dreaming of victory but tasting pain [Verse 3] Whispers in the dark of courage unshown Facing terrors only warriors have known In the clash and chaos He clutches hope tight Surviving the onslaught Holding fast to light [Bridge] Trenches and cries The night so black No turning back now There's no track In this deadly dance He finds his place A runaway soldier in an endless chase [Verse 4] He sees the sky and prays for morning dawn Wonders if he'll see another morn Cradles fallen comrades Holds tight their hand In the battlefield He makes his stand
