Crystal Tide Depths
Execute, execute, execute The door
blows, the room goes
white Clear room one,
boots like thunder Smoke and shadow eat the light
Return
fire from the dark room
The whole wall answers back
Two go down in the first hard
breath
And the stairwell cuts to black
Dusk, pull the light down Let the colors hold their line
Stars forward on my shoulder And the fallen on my mind
We run towards
danger When the whole street turns to dust I am
still here, standing for them
I am still
here after dusk
Getting back to the FOB
After doing some E4 shit
Dust caked up on my armor
Laughing like we weren’t in it
Hangar lights on body armor
T-walls holding back the night
Bird line humming in the distance
Red lens cutting through the light
We were staging by the gear racks Checking straps and killing time
Secret Squirrel meant classified Need-to-know and down the line
Maps were spread across a crate top
Call signs swallowed by the sound
Down range, you learn the difference
Between standing tall and standing ground Dusk,
pull the light down Let the colors hold their line
Stars forward on my shoulder
And the fallen on my mind We run towards danger When the
whole
street turns to dust I am
still here, standing for them I am still here after dusk
Dusk, pull the light down Let the room fall still and deep
I have stood for men in silence
I have kept what I must keep
Stars forward, never backward That is how we crossed the dust We
run towards
danger We do what honor asks of us
Dusk, pull the light down Let
the colors hold their
line
Stars forward
on my shoulder And the fallen on my mind
We run towards danger When the whole street turns
to dust I am still here,
standing for them I am still here after dusk Dusk,
pull the light
down Let the night receive the cost I will carry what I
carried I will honor who we lost If the dark comes close
around me Let it find me standing up I am still here,
worn and breathing I am still here after dusk
Forward Operating
Base The
night is almost blue I let the evening hold the line But
it does not bury you I set your name down softly Like
a flag that never folds Ooh Stars forward after dusk
