Stand Tall Lock It Down

Verse

Hold fire for a second

If silence is a weapon

Then every breath I take

Could be the last mistake

I don’t just aim—I reckon

Every shot’s a confession

And once it leaves the barrel

It’s too late for correction

Chorus

If one scope is enough

To make sleeping giants wake up

To make squads raise their rifles

And watch whole armies break up

It’s one mark, one breath

One oath and one regret

And I can rewrite the whole map

Before they call me a threat

Pre-chorus

So stand tall, lock it down

We can put ‘em in the dirt if they come around

I only got one clip, so I make it count

It’s a takedown—no one’s gonna shut me out

Stand tall, lock it down

Sing it loud so the ghosts don’t drown us out

And before I’m gone, I’ll leave a mark

‘Cause snipers shine brightest in the dark

Chorus

This is the unscoped road

Where the brave don’t fold

Where the cold wind bites

But the fire takes hold

I walk alone, but I never crawl

I’ve got one shot left

And I’ll use it to stand tall

Verse

They said I’d break, said I’d fade

But I carved my name in the barricade

I don’t need medals or brass commands

I’ve got grit in my soul and steel in my hands

I’ve seen the worst, I’ve felt the freeze

I’ve stitched my wounds with shattered leaves

But I still rise, still take the lead

Still mark the trail that others need

Pre-chorus

So stand tall, lock it down

We can put ‘em in the dirt if they come around

I only got one clip, so I make it count

It’s a takedown—no one’s gonna shut me out

Stand tall, lock it down

Sing it loud so the ghosts don’t drown us out

And before I’m gone, I’ll leave a mark

‘Cause snipers shine brightest in the dark

Chorus

This is the unscoped road

Where the brave don’t fold

Where the cold wind bites

But the fire takes hold

I walk alone, but I never crawl

I’ve got one shot left

And I’ll use it to stand tall

Outro

“They said I’d vanish. I became the echo.”

“One shot. One name. One road untraveled.”
