The sand beneath my boots(the reality&the cost of war)

The Sand Beneath My Boots (The Reality & Cost of War) (Verse 1 – The Arrival in War) Touchdown, heatwaves rise from the land, Metal birds screamin’, rifles in hand. Dust in my throat, sweat in my eyes, Prayin’ to a God I don’t recognize. (Pre-Chorus – The Battle Mindset) We were ghosts in the night, shadows on stone, Heartbeats steady, skin to the bone. Orders come down, no questions asked, When the reaper calls, you move fast. (Chorus – The Weight of the Warzone) The sand beneath my boots, the blood in the air, Echoes of the lost, but nobody cares. Steel rain falls, thunder in my chest, Every step forward, put faith to the test. (Verse 2 – The Fallen Brothers & Sisters) I see their faces when I close my eyes, Some wore my flag, some wore their cries. Same young souls, just different lands, But none of us left with clean hands. (Bridge – The Cost of the Fight) I held my brother as he slipped away, Whispered his name, but he had nothin’ to say. Carried the wounded, buried the dead, But nobody carries what’s left in my head. (Chorus Repeats – With More Weight) The sand beneath my boots, the blood in the air, Echoes of the lost, but nobody cares. Steel rain falls, thunder in my chest, Every step forward, put faith to the test. (Verse 3 – The Lives We Took, The Souls We Lost) I see the mother clutchin’ her son, A casualty labeled “just one more one.” He had a name, he had a dream, Now he’s just another ghost in the war machine. (Outro – A Soldier’s Prayer for the Fallen) To my brothers, to my foes, To the ones who fell and the ones I’ll never know— May the earth be gentle, may the sky stay wide, May you rest where no more bullets fly.
