They Fell. I Walk.

I’m the last man standing from a land torn apart, With a blade full of scars and a fire in my heart. Every brother fell hard, every banner fell down, Now I carry their names while I walk through the ground. Through the dust, through the heat, through the screams of the past, Every step that I take, I just pray that it lasts. Got the sun on my neck and the pain in my chest, But the road to my home is the road that I bless. I got cuts, I got bruises, got blood on my skin, But the war never broke what I hold deep within. Every dune that I climb, every mile that I roam, Is another little step getting closer to home. (Hook) Sand in my eyes, but my vision is clear, Death on my trail, but I conquered my fear. Miles from the grave, and I'm still moving on, Through the night, through the storm, through the dark till the dawn. I won't fall, I won't fade, I won't break, I won't bend, Got a promise to keep till the journey will end. Crossing deserts alone with my soul as my guide, I'm a warrior surviving, bringing honor back home alive. (Verse 2) See the moon in the sky like a silver-lit spear, Every shadow reminds me of the ones who aren't here. Hear the ghosts in the wind, hear them call out my name, Telling me to keep walking, keep advancing the flame. Got no king, got no throne, got no gold, got no crown, Just the weight of the fallen that I carry around. Every grain of the sand is a test of my will, But a mountain of pain couldn't stop me still. When the jackals are hunting and the darkness appears, I turn struggle to strength, I turn weakness to gears. I was forged in the fire, I was shaped by the fight, Now I'm cutting through the desert like a blade through the night. (Hook) Sand in my eyes, but my vision is clear, Death on my trail, but I conquered my fear. Miles from the grave, and I'm still moving on, Through the night, through the storm, through the dark till the dawn. I won't fall, I won't fade, I won't break, I won't bend, Got a promise to keep till the journey will end. Crossing deserts alone with my soul as my guide, I'm a warrior surviving, bringing honor back home alive. (Final Verse) If I die on this road, let the heavens record, That I stood till the end with the heart of a lord. But I feel in my bones that my story ain't done, See the gates in the distance, see the rise of the sun. Now the sand turns to soil and the wasteland is gone, Hear the voices of my people singing victory songs. I came back from the darkness, from the blood and the pain, A survivor, a fighter, with my honor unchanged. So remember my tale when the hard times arrive, How I crossed through the desert and I somehow survived. Not for glory or riches, not for power or fame, Just a warrior going home with his brothers' names
