Boots in the mud, breath in the smoke Prayin’ to a sky that’s already broke Steel rain falling like the devil’s own tears We wear our courage just to cover the fear Every heartbeat’s a loaded round In this place, you don’t make a sound Just a number, just a name Caught in someone else’s game We fight, we fall, we bleed, we crawl In the dark where angels never call With fire in our lungs and dirt on our skin We march for the ones we may never see again Raise your hands, but don’t look back We’re ghosts in the trenches, under attack We fight, we fall, we bleed, we crawl In the dark where angels never call With fire in our lungs and dirt on our skin We march for the ones we may never see again Raise your hands, but don’t look back We’re ghosts in the trenches, under attack There’s no glory, there’s no pride Just the will to stay alive Count the cost, pay the price We kill to keep the dream alive We fight, we fall, we bleed, we crawl In the dark where angels never call With fire in our lungs and dirt on our skin We march for the ones we may never see again Raise your hands, but don’t look back We’re ghosts in the trenches, under attack Tell my mother I went down brave Tell my lover I never gave Tell the world to remember my face Not just the number, not just the place We fight, we fall, we bleed, we crawl For a flag that don’t see us at all But still we rise, again and again We fight for the ones who will never come home again Raise your voice, let it crack We’re ghosts in the trenches… and we’re never coming back
