Chorus
We’re going to war, don’t try to be the hero
The Taliban ain’t missing, they’re aiming for your halo
They’re gunning for our heads, not scared to take the shot
So I’ll aim for the heart, and give ’em what I got
Verse 1
Walking streets I’ve only seen on maps
Every door, a trap, every step, collapse
No music in this convoy hum
Just sweat and steel and going numb
M16 locked into my chest
Air support’s late, I’ll do the rest
If I call, don’t miss the mark
Cause I’m standing too damn close in the dark
Chorus
We’re going to war, don’t act like you’re invincible
Your dog tags won’t save you when it’s critical
They’re gunning for our heads
Well, I’ll aim for the heart, I’ll tear it apart
Verse 2
Driving slow on roads too still
You never know what’s fake until it kills
A kid jumps out, eyes full of fire
That’s when it goes. That’s the wire.
Beretta’s warm and close to me
My backup plan if fate gets greedy
I’m not looking to be a hero’s tale
But I won’t freeze if your courage fails
Bridge
Mapping targets, marking ghosts
Praying I don’t end up toast
I whisper low and hold my breath
Don’t wanna draw attention to death
I’m not scared, but I’m not dumb
If I’m caught, I’ll bite my tongue
I’ll wear the chains if I survive
A Prisoner of War who stayed alive
Final Chorus
We’re going to war, this ain’t some song
It’s blood and breath and holding on
They want our heads, we play our part
But I don’t aim to miss, I aim for the heart
Outro
So don’t ask why I’m cold and blank
Some boys break, some just thank
Whoever’s listening, if anyone is
That I’m not the name you carve into this
