“When the smoke clears… who remains?”

Verse 1

He once walked a quiet path,
before fate threw him into wrath.
In the roar of battle, he found his call,
with every round, he stood tall.
He can’t recall a life before,
only dust and thunder forevermore.

Pre-Chorus

He was nameless, lost in fear,
’til the battlefield made him clear.
Do you sense it? The furnace of a soldier’s soul.

Chorus

Bound by fire, shaped by steel,
M240 Bravo in his hands—his truth revealed.
He shields his brothers, obeys each word,
a purpose found in chaos unheard.
But beyond these flames, who will he be?
He only knows to protect what matters to him.

Verse 2

He dreams of love in fleeting thought,
a tender hope the war forgot.
With scars so deep, he fears the day
someone might see beyond his gray.
Freedom beckons, but can he change,
when orders carved his spirit’s range?

Pre-Chorus

The echoes of a thousand cries
linger in his sleepless eyes.
Do you feel it? The haunting drum that never dies.

Chorus

Bound by fire, shaped by steel,
M240 Bravo in his hands—his truth revealed.
He shields his brothers, obeys each word,
a purpose found in chaos unheard.
But beyond these flames, who will he be?
He only knows to protect what matters to him.

Bridge

He stands between two worlds unknown,
a soldier’s fate he calls his own.
Yet in the hush of a silent night,
he wonders if he’ll ever set things right.

Final Chorus

Bound by fire, shaped by steel,
M240 Bravo in his hands—his truth revealed.
He shields his brothers, obeys each word,
a purpose found in chaos unheard.
When war subsides, will he find his way?
Or crave the battle at break of day?
Beyond the flames, who can he be?
All he knows is to protect what matters to him.

“When the smoke clears… who remains?”

Bound by Fire

Shadows crawl across shattered streets,
hope ignites where courage meets.
Families torn by endless nights,
yet hearts still burn with righteous might.

Voices rise above the fear,
standing tall when darkness nears.

Heroes of the war, born of pain and light,
holding back the endless storm, refusing to lose sight.
They bleed for tomorrow, hearts forged in flame,
in every cry for freedom, we remember their names.

Cities scarred but souls unbowed,
truth rings out through sirens loud.
Torn by grief yet fueled by pride,
strength emerges from inside.

They will not fall,
they stand for all.

Heroes of the war, born of pain and light,
holding back the endless storm, refusing to lose sight.
They bleed for tomorrow, hearts forged in flame,
in every cry for freedom, we remember their names.

Hope remains in the silent dawn,
scars of battle linger on.
Yet from their stand, a future grows—
the light they sparked forever glows.
