[Intro | clean dark arpeggio | D minor | distant drums | slow build] [Verse 1 | gritty heavy-rock vocal | restrained] Smoke is hanging over fields Nothing here has ever healed Empty houses, broken stone Every road is leading home Names are fading from the wall Some came back and some were lost Still I hear them in the rain Calling through the years again [Pre-Chorus | galloping guitar begins underneath] I can't change what has been done I can't bring back anyone But I'll carry what remains Through the silence, through the pain [Chorus | melodic | powerful but restrained] No man's land Between the past and me No man's land Where the ghosts still breathe I have lost But I still stand I will walk across No man's land [Instrumental Section | dark arpeggio against galloping pedal-tone guitar | tension building] [Verse 2 | heavier guitars | stronger vocal] Rust is growing on the wire Rain has drowned the final fire All the words we never said Travel with the living and the dead I remember every face Every voice and every place Time can bury what it can But memory survives the land [Chorus | wider guitars] No man's land Between the past and me No man's land Where the ghosts still breathe I have lost But I still stand I will walk across No man's land [Bridge | drums intensify | rising guitar harmony] Carry the names Carry the scars Carry them with you Wherever you are Nothing returns Nothing remains But we keep walking Through the rain [Guitar Solo | dual-guitar trading | melodic bends | harmonized responses | escalating intensity] [Final | full-band climax | gritty powerful vocal] I won't forget! I won't turn away! Everything lost Still lives in me today! No man's land! I understand! You can lose almost everything AND STILL LEARN TO STAND! [Epilogue | clean dark arpeggio returns | distant lead-guitar phrase | D minor] No man's land... Still I stand.
