[Verse 1 starts right away]
Boots on the ground,
i'm feelin a war.

Speranza thinner,
than ever before.

Still i need to go,
all the more reason

Children weepin,
debt is a creepin

hungry mouths
and the cupboard's dead
cold tin scrape
and a splittin head

sky keeps hummin
with the iron choir
blue-white teeth
in a halo fire

[Chorus]
Another flare,
Another scream
smell of flesh
the unseen

the rollin smoke
blurs the way
something hunts
between the flames..

GO.

[Instrumental breakdown]

[Verse 2]
tag on the line
debt on the back
three-man run
through a culvert crack

mud on the knee
the mags half-spent
one bad pull
now the whole thing's bent

ratchet breath
and a twitchin jaw
every damn crate
got a private law

one for the home
one for the debt
one for the mouths
ain't eaten yet

[Pre-Chorus]
heads down low
when the treeline blinks
out here trust
gets you buried quick

check that flank
watch that friend
Speranza turns
every nerve to a lens

[Chorus]
Another flare,
Another scream
smell of flesh
the unseen

the rollin smoke
blurs the way
and something hunts
between the flames
GO!


[Rock Breakdown]
Boot to the pipe
duck low, breathe
mud in the gums
got grit in my teeth

scope in the brush
glint then gone
might be a raider
might be wrong

click in the dark
hand on the strap
Arc up high
but men lay traps

[Bridge]
If i come home
don't ask what burned
just count what's left
see what we earned

If i don't come home
let the young ones know
If i don't come home
let the young ones know

[Final Chorus]
Another flare,
Another scream
smell of flesh
the unseen

the rollin smoke
blurs the way
and something hunts
between the flames
GO!

Another dawn,
same red stain
same hard mouth
same iron rain

Boots on the ground,
still in the war
Speranza thinner
than ever before
