Lyrics

Quiet whispers in the shadows, gotta make a change
City streets and crowded rooms, yet I'm feeling strange
Looking at the stars above, I make a silent vow
Time to find my purpose, my mission starts now
[Verse 1]
No more wandering aimless, I'm stepping up to serve
Grit and discipline will give the life I deserve
I can't really tell it simple, but I gotta leave
All I feel is this desire, got a role to achieve
Pack my bags and lace my boots up, no more time to grieve
All I seek is new direction, orders to receive
I can't really tell it simple, but I gotta leave
Solitude, my old companion, now I must deceive
Training in the dead of night, pushing past the pain
Embracing every challenge, fight through the rain
Brothers in the unit, they're my new found kin
Silent in the belly of the beast, we dive in
[Chorus]
Now I'm a soldier in the shadows, elite and unseen
Part of something greater than the parts of this machine
Drills in the morning light, rigor sets the scene
Forging bonds through fire, in the squad I lean
No more lone existence, it's a brotherhood I join
Steel resolve is pounding, in my heart, it's been enjoined
[Verse 2]
Boots on foreign soil, where the brave dare tread
Whispers turn to roars, as I move ahead
Underneath the crescent moon, I swear an oath so true
With every heartbeat, I commit to see it through
Loyalty becomes the shield, secrecy my guise
I find my strength within, as I cut all former ties
[Verse 3]
Stealth is now my dance, in the shadows we advance
Camouflage and coded talks, part of the vast expanse
