Verse 1 We carved our names in frozen ground Swore the silence was a sound Smoke had thinned but we remained Two flags stitched with blood and rain No horizon left to claim Only echoes without a name Your breath trembles in the cold So does mine, but we were told Pre-Chorus Hold the line — don’t let it fall Even if there’s no one left at all Chorus Where the war forgot us standing In a land no map is branding No more bullets, no more flame Still we fight in someone’s name If the world has turned away Why are we still here today? Verse 2 Your hands are cracked like broken stone Mine are no less overthrown Teeth and fists replace the steel Pain is now the only real No command comes through the sky No more reasons left to die Yet we guard these colors worn Like something sacred, something sworn Pre-Chorus If peace was signed in distant halls It never crossed these shattered walls Chorus Where the war forgot us breathing In the cold that keeps us seething No more drums and no parade Only debts that won’t be paid If surrender has begun Who will tell the final ones? Bridge (minimal, almost whisper) Maybe bells rang far away Maybe dawn replaced the gray Maybe mothers dried their tears After waiting all these years (Instrumental swell) Final Chorus (bigger but unresolved) Where the war forgot our faces Buried deep in empty places No more kingdoms left to save Only pride above a grave If the fighting’s truly done (hold chord…) Outro (soft, suspended) Why are we still holding on…
