[Verse 1] The sky burned red on the Santora line, Where hope was a whisper and death came in time. With a pack on my back and my heart in my throat, I stitched up the wounded while the cannons wrote. The ground shook hard; the air was thin, I patched their bodies, but the scars stayed within. Every face I saved, every soul I lost, Wrote a story of mercy at a soldier’s cost. [Chorus] These hands weren’t made for taking life, They mend the broken through the darkest nights. In the shadow of war, where the strong may fall, It’s the hands that heal that carry it all. [Verse 2] The wounded called out through the smoke and the screams, Their voices still haunt the edge of my dreams. I worked through the blood, through the tears and the mud, Holding back the tide like a fragile flood. A brother's cry, a sister’s plea, No time to falter, no time for me. Santora’s fields drank too much red, But I fought to keep one more from the dead. [Chorus] These hands weren’t made for taking life, They mend the broken through the darkest nights. In the shadow of war, where the strong may fall, It’s the hands that heal that carry it all. [Bridge] They say heroes fight on the frontlines, bold, But heroes are quiet when the stories are told. It’s the ones who stay when the fear runs high, Who cradle the wounded and refuse to say goodbye. [Verse 3] Now the Santora stars light a quiet sky, The cannons are silent, but I still ask why. Why we fight, why we bleed, why we break apart, But in the chaos, I found the strength of my heart. For every life saved, for every hand held, For the moments of grace where hope rebelled. I’ll carry those memories till the end of my days, A medic’s burden, a healer’s praise. [Chorus] These hands weren’t made for taking life, They mend the broken through the darkest nights. In the shadow of war, where the strong may fall, It’s the hands that heal that carry it all. [Outro] The Santora line is a tale of pain, But I’d do it again, through the fire and rain. For the gift of life, for the strength to feel, These hands that heal, these hands that heal.
