[intro – quick snare roll & power chord stab] HEY! (1-2-3-4!) [verse 1 – tight rhythm guitar] Barber on the left like a concrete wall, Slaughter calls the count like he owns it all. Knijeah on the glide with a shoulder swing, Kam Waites cracks pads—hear the helmets ring. Lagway’s chillin’, got time to spare, Baugh sneaks out while the D‑line stares. George fires right, Rod clears the lane, Lovett and Westphal bring that pain. [hook – soaring gang vocals] Guardians of the swamp, we hold that ground, Orange and blue, yeah we’ll knock you down. Every snap, every hit, every roaring sound, Guardians of the swamp, we don’t back down! [verse 2 – faster cadence] Snap goes live, whole line ignites, Cleats dig deep under Friday lights. Jackson cuts through, crowd goes wild, O‑line bruisers got a crocodile smile. Pads collide like a marching drum, Defenders vanish, here we come. Barber’s grin, Slaughter’s call, Feel the quake when the big men brawl. [bridge – palm‑mute half‑time] In the mud, in the fight, Every block is a spark in the night… (in the night… in the night…) [hook – final, doubled guitars & shouts] Guardians of the swamp, we hold that ground, Orange and blue, yeah we’ll knock you down. Every snap, every hit, every roaring sound, Guardians of the swamp, we don’t back down! (YEAH!) Guardians of the swamp, we don’t back down! (HEY!) Guardians of the swamp, we don’t back down! [outro – riff fades with shouted “HEY!”] HEY! HEY! HEY! (fade)
