Name: Didn't Know It Was War by Karn Rexis
Duration: 2 min 44 s
Description: Didn’t know what we’d signed up for, seeing as we never signed anything. One minute I’m lugging crates, next minute Jedi are bouncing round like caffeinated frogs and lads are dropping like training dummies with the batteries pulled. They called it glory. I called it Tuesday.

I was on the outside, pretending to check my comms while kids burned on the inside. Smoke stuck to me, but the guilt stuck worse. They called it order. I called it a smell I’ll never wash out. My helmet stayed clean. My head didn’t.

Helmet Full of Ashes

Didn’t know what we’d signed up for, seeing as we never signed anything. One minute I’m lugging crates, next minute Jedi are bouncing round like caffeinated frogs and lads are dropping like training dummies with the batteries pulled. They called it glory. I called it Tuesday.

Didn't Know It Was War

They’ll say Scarif was sacrifice, destiny, rebellion.
I’ll say it was me, sweating in a tower, watching rebels nick what I thought was plumbing schematics.
Whole galaxy turns, history made, Vader doing horror-show improv down the hall…
and all I did was guard the bloody flash drive.

All I Did Was Guard the Flash Drive

Another number. Another war.
Now just a voice over broken beats.
The galaxy doesn’t remember, but the echoes do.
