The Phalanx

Inspiration: Apologizing to everyone for retreating into my own darkness and isolating myself

LYRICS

---------------------

I'm sorry for who I am
Broken pieces, I don't understand, no!
Isolation is my shield, but it's tearing me apart
Can you see the cracks, within my heart?
Can you see the cracks?
The fractures in my heart

Woke up in this wreckage, another battle lost at dawn
Empty echoes scream my failures, my will to live, feels like it's gone
Clawing out from under blankets, but shadows hold me fast
Every one I know like phantoms, fading memories of the past

Trying to heal, but I push you away
Words left unsaid, day after day

I'm sorry for who I am
Broken pieces, I don't understand
Isolation is my shield, but it's tearing me apart
Can you see the cracks?
The fractures in my heart

(The fractures in my heart)

Forgive me for the monster, the one that I've become, 
that pushed you all away, as my soul went cold and numb,
This prison built around me, the fortress in my mind
I stumble in this darkness, looking for, a light I can not find

Trying to heal, but I push you away
Words left unsaid, day after day

I'm sorry for who I am
Broken pieces, I don't understand
Isolation is my shield, but it's tearing me apart
Can you see the cracks?
The fractures in my heart
(The fractures in my heart!)

Wanting to reach out, but I'm paralyzed by fear
Of letting down my guard, and allowing someone near
Echoes from my life, all the lessons learned
Covered in the ashes, of all the bridges burned

I'm sorry for who I am 
Broken pieces, I don't understand
Isolation's my shield, but it's tearing me apart
Can you see the cracks?
The fractures in my heart?

I'm sorry for who I've become
I try to fight, but I feel so numb
Isolation's my prison, can you set me free?
I'm begging you to help me become who I'm meant to be

------------------------------------------------------------------

Fighting for years, on this polluted moon.
We pushed them down a ways, but we know they'll be back soon.
They're burrowed somewhere beneath here miles below the ground.
Not a man or woman among us would dare to make a sound.

Rifles hot, rockets stocked, kill zone empty. We're ready for them now.
Drones are locked on the rocks back behind us. We've got to hold somehow.
Side to side with our dead, huddled on this forsaken line.
A wave of rounds buzz by the new girl slumps and dies.
I don't react in time.

Then the night is bright as day. We shield our eyes from the blast as our weapons spray.
Squinting my eyes I think of home-
Are they alive?
Are they there?
Am I all alone?

If I'm ever to know then I'll need to survive - need to win this fight.
I stand up where I am, firing as fast as I can, eyes trained down my shaking sights.
Hundreds racing toward us - a thousand maybe more.
We'll only sleep in a bed when every last one is dead and I'm not keeping score. 

And only after hours of hell and blood, our dwindling hope revived.
The clouds in the sky were blasted away as our hulking fleet arrived. 
The brilliant flash of a mile wide broadside froze each of us in awe.
The raging pillar of death and inferno
Could challenge even God.

God, if you could see what we've done.
How far we fallen...
How far we've come...

I see her smiling face 6 years away from this place - I hear the sea I feel the Sun.
A flash of flame and then screams pull me away from my dreams.
I clear my head and raise my gun.

Fire raining down, the ending in sight.
We'll drive them out, every last one tonight.
We know they're wrong.
We'll show them we're right.
And leave this broken place behind us.

And only after hours of hell and blood, the horizon came alive.
We cheered to the sky with our fists in the air as their escape ships tried to fly.
Another moon is ours another world restored, we slam shut another the door.
We'll cast them out of our empire and make them beg to end this war.

Till every life has been paid for.

We'll make them beg to end this war...



Hell and Blood

“Wings of the Silent Few” is an adrenaline-charged anthem honoring the United States Air Force Special Warfare community. From the legendary pararescue who risk all to save lives, to Tactical Air Control Party operators who rain steel on the enemy, Combat Controllers who open up the fight, Special Recon teams in the shadows, and SERE instructors who break and rebuild the best — this song dives into their world with respect and raw energy. It celebrates the brutal selection process, the power of tactical comms, and the unmistakable roar of special operations helicopters and AC-130 gunships — a dedication to those who live on the edge for us all.
