[Verse] Boots hit the dust like a drumbeat of fate The sun’s a hammer pounding It's getting late Shadows stretch long But the mission won’t wait Ghosts of home They echo They resonate [Prechorus] Bullets carve the air like whispered sin Each step’s a gamble No one’s sure to win [Chorus] In the echoes of the sand They stand With their hearts clenched tight A rifle in hand Freedom’s price written in this barren land Oh In the echoes In the echoes of the sand [Verse 2] Letters from home folded small in a pocket A charm from a child A paper locket The stars watch above No mercy in their gaze And the night Oh the night It’s a fiery haze [Prechorus] Courage ain’t fearless It’s walking through fear The silence is louder when danger’s near [Chorus] In the echoes of the sand They stand With their hearts clenched tight A rifle in hand Freedom’s price written in this barren land Oh In the echoes In the echoes of the sand
