Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Helmets lined along the table Names carved rough in rusted steel Maps nailed down with bloody knuckles Every promise Signed and sealed Torch smoke curling in the rafters Breath like winter in this hall Someone laughs to hide the shaking Boots all pointed toward the wall [Verse 1] Banners torn and stitched together From every fight that came before We sharpen quiet conversations On the grindstone of this war Mother’s letter in my pocket Creased and stained from every drill Her last line says “please come home Son” I fold it flat against my will Ash on the bread Steel in the veins We drink from a cracked canteen of rage We march on the edge Of a shallow grave And carve our courage in the cage Cold eyes meet in jagged armor We trade our names for numbers now The captain’s voice A rusted thunder Says “if you’re scared Don’t show me how” So I tie my fear in tighter laces Wring my doubts out in the rain Every heartbeat hits like hammers Nailing hope into this pain [Chorus] WE GO TO WAR (we go to war) FLESH TO THE FIRE THROW US IN FLESH TO THE FIRE LET IT WIN WE GO TO WAR (we go to war) BLOOD FOR THE CAUSE WE CAN’T IGNORE LEAVE OUR NAMES AT THE DOOR WE GO TO WAR [Verse 2] Smoke stacks rise on the horizon Like black monuments to doubt We walk straight into their shadow Where the brave don’t make it out I see my brother in the distance Face half-hidden by his shield He just nods and lifts it higher Like he’s lifting up a field Stones remember every footstep Every curse beneath our breath We have learned to kiss the barrel Like a mouth that tastes of death We paint stories on our helmets Tiny saints and crude tattoos Every symbol just a question: What did any of us choose? We light our prayers With gasoline Let the sparks decide our fate If mercy’s there Behind their guns It’s already come too late [Chorus] WE GO TO WAR (we go to war) FLESH TO THE FIRE THROW US IN FLESH TO THE FIRE LET IT WIN WE GO TO WAR (we go to war) BLOOD FOR THE CAUSE WE CAN’T IGNORE LEAVE OUR NAMES AT THE DOOR WE GO TO WAR [Breakdown] [Drums drop to brutal halftime Guitars chug on a single Ringing note] ONE STEP (one step) FROM NEVER COMING BACK TWO EYES (two eyes) STARING DOWN THE BLACK THREE WORDS (three words) “DON’T LOOK BACK” FOUR HORNS FOUR HORNS CALL THE ATTACK [Everything cuts but voice Then slams back in] TAKE MY BODY TAKE MY BREATH I’LL PAY LIVING TO BUY YOUR DEATH TAKE MY FATHER’S UNSPOKEN FEAR I’LL BURN IT ALL TO KEEP YOU HERE [Chant] ALL FOR THE LINE (all for the line) ALL FOR THE FALL (all for the fall) ALL THAT WE WERE ALL THAT WE ARE WE GIVE IT ALL [Verse 3] First clash hits like metal thunder Teeth and shrapnel in the air Someone screams a broken prayer Someone laughs they’re still aware I see futures shatter open Like glass castles in the blast Every choice that led me forward Crashing into this one task A boy drops where I was standing Half a heartbeat out of sync His hand reaches for a photo Slips away before the blink I step over every memory That the ground won’t give us back Every soul a silent question: What still keeps you on this track? Here’s my answer Burning raw I was born to be your shield Take my pulse My final hour

metal, Feral hardcore metal with galloping mid-tempo riffs, chugging low-tuned guitars, and relentless double-kick barrage. Hoarse, commanding male vocals up front; verses ride palm-muted triplets that surge into huge gang-shouted, chant-style choruses. Wild mid-song breakdown drops to brutal halftime with dissonant guitar stabs and squeals before ramping back into the main motif. Thick bass doubles the guitars, with layered screams and octave-harmony leads in the outro, ending on a held, feedback-drenched chord., hardcore, male vocals
