Gray Armor Departure

[Intro] [Verse 1] Dawn breaks cold on the village square Steel and thunder fill the air A final kiss beneath the ash-gray sky My love, the Hell Diver, bids goodbye His armor gleams, a somber shade With brothers sworn, the pact is made To dive where hellfire paints the night And f***t the shadow, claw for light [Chorus] Fly, Hell Diver, through the smoke and flame! Gray armor glinting, bearing freedom's name! We stand here waiting, hearts upon the shore! Come back to us when the cannons roar no more! (Oh, come back home!) [Verse 2] The fiddles weep, the violins cry A piercing tune that scrapes the sky A folk pattern old, yet fierce and new For hearts divided, brave and true The elders watch with stoic gaze Recounting other, darker days While children clutch their mothers' hands Awaiting fathers from far lands [Chorus] Fly, Hell Diver, through the smoke and flame! Gray armor glinting, bearing freedom's name! We stand here waiting, hearts upon the shore! Come back to us when the cannons roar no more! (Oh, come back home!) [Bridge] The forge fire's banked, the fields lie still A frozen moment, time's cruel will Each sunset bleeds, a crimson prayer Whispered on the evening air Do they still soar? Do they still dive? Beneath that unforgiving sky? The gray armor lost, or holding fast? Will this farewell be the last? [Chorus] Fly, Hell Diver, through the smoke and flame! Gray armor glinting, bearing freedom's name! We stand here waiting, hearts upon the shore! Come back to us when the cannons roar no more! (Oh, come back home!) [Outro]
