[Verse 1] I once was young and sold my steel, Believed each contract worth the deal, Inside my ’Mech I killed for them, But learned their wars would never end. [Chorus] I find my honor in the wreckage, in the way we’ve fought the war, I don’t care about your politics — just the payday I’ve been bleeding for. I’ve fought for every cause, I’ve bled in countless wars, And still I find my honor in the wreckage of these god-forsaken worlds. [Verse 2] I stood my ground and watched friends die, Another war, another lie. They said our deaths would turn the tide— But all I saw were those who died. I’ve carried names I can’t forget, Their echoes haunt each mission yet. [Chorus] I find my honor in the wreckage, in the way we’ve fought the war, I don’t care about your politics — just the payday I’ve been bleeding for. I’ve fought for every cause, I’ve bled in countless wars, And still I find my honor in the wreckage of these god-forsaken worlds. [Bridge] The ground still keeps the steps we made, The smoke still clings to every name. The dead march with me through the flame, Their shadows trailing where I aim. No House remembers those we lost — But I still remember every cost. [Final Chorus] I find my honor in the wreckage, in the way we’ve fought the war, I don’t care about your politics — just the payday I’ve been bleeding for. I’ve fought for every cause, I’ve bled in countless wars, But now I fight for those who fell upon these god-forsaken worlds. [Outro] The fires fade, the night grows dim, Another world where hope runs thin, Too many gone now buried deep, Too many nights I couldn’t sleep. But ghosts still walk beside us all, Old faces rising when I stall. I count the costs behind each call — And still I ask, was it worth it all? …was it worth it all.
