[INTRO – PIANO AND STRINGS, VERY SPARSE]
(soft piano in minor key, distant strings)

[VERSE 1 – SLOW, WEARY]
Beneath the sky so cold and gray,
I walk the path where hope won’t stay.
Mud and blood, they cling to me,
A soldier lost in history.
The nights stretch long, the days the same,
In silence, I forget my name.
The cannon roars, the earth it shakes,
Yet for this life… no difference it makes.

[INSTRUMENTAL – GUITAR ENTERS SOFTLY]
(clean electric guitar, sustained notes)

[CHORUS – FULLER, HEAVIER, STILL RESTRAINED]
And as I rise, I know the cost,
A heartbeat lost in endless frost.
We fight, we fall, we fade away,
Just echoes of a war’s decay.
In fields where dreams once dared to grow,
Now only death… a friend I know.

[VERSE 2 – SAME TEMPO, SLIGHTLY DARKER]
The letters home, they lie unread,
Beneath the earth, the fallen dead.
A mother’s tear, a lover’s cry,
I see them when I close my eyes.
The sun comes up, we march again,
Over the top… we face the end.
With every step, my breath is thin,
Knowing this war… no one can win.

[INSTRUMENTAL – DRUMS BEGIN, VERY SLOW]
(low toms, distant hits, heartbeat feel)

[CHORUS – BIGGER, WEIGHTIER, NOT LOUDER]
And as I rise, I know the cost,
A heartbeat lost in endless frost.
We fight, we fall, we fade away,
Just echoes of a war’s decay.
In fields where dreams once dared to grow,
Now only death… a friend I know.

[BRIDGE – STRIPPED BACK, EMOTIONAL]
The world moves on… and I’ll be gone,
A nameless face beneath the dawn.
But still I fight, though I can’t see,
What waits beyond… this misery.

[INSTRUMENTAL – GUITAR AND STRINGS LIFT]
(slow swell, restrained intensity)

[OUTRO – QUIET, RESIGNED]
And in the end, we’re all the same,
Just whispered ghosts in war’s cruel game.
We fight, we fall, we fade away,
A song unheard… in war’s dismay.

[SILENCE]
