[Intro]

[Intro]
(Fast heavy distorted bass kicks in)
(Siren sound)

[Verse 1, Fast Gritty Rap]
Step-by-step-through-the-silver-haze! 
Where the road is lost in a misty maze.
He’s twenty-one, but his eyes are old,
A story of courage that’s yet to be told!
In the fog where the light begins to fade,
He hears the heartbeat through the heavy shade.
Every hundred yards is a battle for breath,
A bridge for the living, a challenge to death!

[Chorus, Fast & Powerful, Male & Female Harmony]
Twenty-one years in the camouflage gear!
Behind him the fog and the echoes of fear!
He won't say a word of the glory or pain,
Just steps into fire, again and again!
He’s saving the world, he’s fighting for you!
Victory is born in these quiet strides!

[Verse 2, Fast Aggressive Rap]
He’s not a gunner, he’s a lifeline in hand!
Pulling his brother from no man’s land!
It’s more than armor, it’s a life on his back,
He whispers: "Hold on, don’t fade into black!"
[Female Vocal, fast melodic echo]
"Stay safe, my son, come back to the light..."
[Male Vocal, Husky & Fast]
With blood on his hands in the heat of the fight,
He’s guarding the silence, he’s holding the line!
The youngest soldier in the shadow of time!

[Bridge, Drum Solo, Max Intensity]
NOT FOR THE MEDALS! NOT FOR THE FAME!
HE BRINGS THE HOPE TO THE RUINS AND FLAME!
TO BRING SOMEONE HOME TO A MOTHER’S EMBRACE!
TO SEE THE TOMORROW ON A TIRED FACE!

[Outro, Music cuts off suddenly]
[Male Vocal, Deep Grave Whispered]
The smoke will clear. The battle will cease.
He’s doing his job. He’s bringing the peace...
(Silence)
Twenty-one years old. His name is Mark.
