Verse 1 Five fresh names on fresh dog tags, Boots still bright from yesterday. First deployment on the roster, No one looks afraid. Jason checks his pulse rifle twice, Trying hard to hide the grin. Arch just laughs and bumps his shoulder, "Relax, we're finally in." Jon keeps staring at his flamer, Like he's waiting for the chance. Shy's already reading directions, Eyes that never miss a glance. Ghosty's got the whole bay laughing, Trading jokes from wall to wall. Five young Marines aboard one dropship, Thinking they can conquer all. Pre-Chorus Fresh armor. Fresh dreams beneath the steel. Nobody knows What tomorrow holds... But every heartbeat feels real. Chorus Another day in the Corps! Another drop, another war! Five rookies chasing more, Through every open door. Another day in the Corps! Hear those engines start to roar! Side by side we'll stand forever more, Whatever waits beyond the doors. Verse 2 Cards are scattered on an ammo crate, Someone cheats and no one cares. Ghosty's laughing way too loudly, Echo rolling through the air. Arch keeps talking big as always, Swears he'll never miss a shot. Jason shakes his head and smiles, "Bet you twenty that you do." Jon just grins and checks his fuel, Pilot flame burns clean and blue. Shy leans back against the bulkhead, Watching every persons move. Five helmets hanging on a rack, Five names painted clean and bright. No one thinks they'll fade someday... They're just ready for the fray. Pre-Chorus No one counts the bunks. No one fears folded flags. Right now they're just five young Marines... With the galaxy to defend. Chorus Another day in the Corps! Another mission to explore! Lock it down and hold the line, That's what Marines are for. Another day in the Corps! Hear the dropship engines roar! If one of us walks into hell... The other four walk through the door. Bridge Helmets locked. Magazines seated. Motion trackers... Hearts racing. Hands steady. Five rookies... Five friends... Learning to trust. No legends yet. No medals earned. Just five Marines... Ready to learn. Guitar Solo Final Chorus Another day in the Corps! Another sunrise, nothing more. Jason, Arch, Jon, Shy, Ghosty— Five boots on the floor. Another day in the Corps! No fear that they can see. Young enough to laugh at danger... Proud enough to believe. They don't know... That simple ride... Will become the story... That defines their lives. Outro Dropship green. Thirty seconds. Weapons are hot. Stand by... Five rookies... One squad... One future... "Marines..." "Let's go to work."
