Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Fifteen years in the fire, wore my country’s name,
Three combat zones, I played a deadly game.
An NCO with a steady hand and grit,
But the scars on my soul, well, they never quite quit.

(Pre-Chorus)
From the battlefield’s chaos to the quiet dam’s edge,
I’ve lived through the storm and I’ve walked on the ledge.

(Chorus)
I’m a soldier of the past, a runner of today,
Carvin’ out a life in my own damn way.
With rocks in my hands and fire in my chest,
An outlaw in my heart, I’ll never find rest.

(Verse 2)
Defiance is my home, but my heart’s been far,
From the deserts to jungles, under heaven’s scars.
Now I polish the pieces of this wild, broken earth,
Turnin’ pain into beauty, findin’ my rebirth.

(Pre-Chorus)
Every rock tells a story, every mile I run,
A legacy in motion, never undone.

(Chorus)
I’m a soldier of the past, a runner of today,
Carvin’ out a life in my own damn way.
With rocks in my hands and fire in my chest,
An outlaw in my heart, I’ll never find rest.

(Bridge)
I’ve seen the worst of man, the best of my kind,
Carried brothers through the fire, left no one behind.
Now I’m fightin’ for peace in the still of the night,
A warrior turned maker, searchin’ for the light.

(Chorus)
I’m a soldier of the past, a runner of today,
Carvin’ out a life in my own damn way.
With rocks in my hands and fire in my chest,
An outlaw in my heart, I’ll never find rest.

(Outro)
So here’s to the battlefields, the roads, and the stone,
To a soldier and a maker who walks his own alone.
I’ve fought for the living, I’ve shaped the unknown,
A fighter, a creator—this life is my throne.
