The Face of Death (Verse 1) Under the weight of silence, the battlefield screams, My hands tremble, but my heart still dreams. The smoke dances in the air, a veil between us, On the other side, a man, but here, it’s my voice I trust. I saw the face of death, and it smiled at me, With cold eyes, as if it knew my destiny. But I won’t look away, I’ll stand my ground, For in my chest, courage is what I’ve found. (Pre-Chorus) Two strangers in the mirror of a cruel fate, Does he think of home, or of the bitter taste? (Chorus) I am the soldier, the shadow facing the light, Time stands still, but the burden drives my fight. Between bullets and screams, on ground stained with pain, I saw the face of death and stared back at its reign. (Verse 2) The gun is heavy, but the choice weighs more, Do I shoot for the flag or for the life I left before? His eyes meet mine, like a silent accord, In the game of who lives or falls, we’re pawns of the sword. I saw the face of death, and it whispered to me, “We’re all the same at the start and the end, you see.” But I’m still breathing, while the fire rages, Here, the soul hardens, but it never truly ages. (Pre-Chorus) Does he have a name, a daughter, a love? Or are we just shadows fate has spun from above? (Chorus) I am the soldier, the shadow facing the light, Time stands still, but the burden drives my fight. Between bullets and screams, on ground stained with pain, I saw the face of death and stared back at its reign. (Bridge) In the final moment, the gaze says more than words, Two men face to face, as one life is blurred. Hatred dissolves, only humanity remains, And in the pain of the moment, I find truth in the chains. (Final Chorus) I am the soldier, marked by every choice, A lost warrior, searching for peace through the noise. Between bullets and screams, on ground stained with pain, I saw the face of death and stared back at its reign. (Outro) Beneath the crying sky, I walk this path alone, With the face of death carved deep into my soul. It smiled at me, but I’m still standing tall, Carrying the war, and the war within us all.
