[Intro]
Across the dust, a compass of steel in hand
No flags to wave, just a vow to stand
[Verse 1]
We march through whispers of rain on gravel streets,
Brothers and sisters in the same beat of feet.
Not by birthplace but by the oath we seal,
Duty in our chests, a truth we feel.
[Pre-Chorus]
When longing calls for home, we answer with time,
Cost carved in silence, in every line.
[Chorus]
We shoulder the night, we light the way with names,
Walking the line where courage remains.
If dawn breaks hard and the toll is steep,
We rise for each other, and lay down to sleep.
[Verse 2]
Stories are whispered in the breath of dawn,
Friends become family in battles drawn.
Sacrifice isn’t glory loud or bright,
It’s quiet hands that guard the fading light.
[Pre-Chorus]
In every scar a promise to keep,
In every failure a vow we steep.
[Chorus]
We shoulder the night, we light the way with names,
Walking the line where courage remains.
If dawn breaks hard and the toll is steep,
We rise for each other, and lay down to sleep.
[Bridge]
Let the cost be counted in the soft goodbyes,
In the memory of those who chose to rise.
Not where we came from, but what we defend,
A circle of brothers, unbroken until the end.
[Chorus]
We shoulder the night, we light the way with names,
Walking the line where courage remains.
If dawn breaks hard and the toll is steep,
We rise for each other, and lay down to sleep.
[Outro]
So march we must, through shadow and flame,
Bound by duty, forever the same.
