Dust Protocol , By Ashlyn ML

Verse

Sirens in the smoke, rotor blades gone silent,

We dropped into the fire, no map, no guidance.

Streets like a graveyard, names carved in dust,

We fight for each other—'cause no one fights for us.

Pre-chorus

They said we were expendable,

But we became unbreakable.

Chorus

This is Dust Protocol—

When the world forgets, we still stand tall.

Black Hawk down, but we’re not gone,

We carry the fallen, we carry on.

No medals, no songs, just scars and flame—

But we’d do it all again.

Verse

Radio’s dead, but the bond still speaks,

Through blood and grit and shattered weeks.

We were left in the silence,

But silence became defiance.

Bridge

This isn’t glory.

This is grit.

This is the moment we never quit.

This is the vow we never said—

But it’s written in how we bled.

Chorus

This is Dust Protocol—

When the world forgets, we still stand tall.

Black Hawk down, but we’re not gone,

We carry the fallen, we carry on.

No medals, no songs, just scars and flame—

But we’d do it all again.
