VEINS OF THE FALLEN

Names erased by marching boots

History written with borrowed blood

We were numbers carved in steel

Fed to the gears that never feel

Banners high, faces proud

While graves kept growing underground

They called it honor, called it fate

We called it living just to break

Hear the drums beneath the ground

Every heartbeat, a battle sound

Blood runs through the veins of the fallen

Still pumping lies into the land

Built your throne on broken bodies

Now feel their pulse in your hands

The dead don’t sleep, they’re calling

From every ditch and nameless grave

You can’t escape the weight you buried

In the veins of the fallen you remain

Brothers turned to fading smoke

Last words choking in our throats

Medals shine on hollow chests

While mothers pray to silhouettes

Eyes wide open, faith undone

We died before the war was won

Marching songs, deafening praise

Drown the screams we couldn’t say

Blood runs through the veins of the fallen

Still pumping lies into the land

Built your throne on broken bodies

Now feel their pulse in your hands

The dead don’t sleep, they’re calling

From every ditch and nameless grave

You can’t escape the weight you buried

In the veins of the fallen you remain

No flags

No crowns

Just flesh

In the ground

No glory

No grace

Just bones

In your name

If ghosts could bleed, you’d drown tonight

If truth had teeth, it’d tear your pride

We are the cost you never paid

The echo screaming: REMEMBER OUR NAMES

Blood runs through the veins of the fallen

A river you can’t outrun

Every empire drinks the silence

Till it chokes on what it’s done

The earth still shakes with our voices

We rise in every betrayed son

You can’t erase what you created

We live in the veins of the fallen

You buried the bodies…

But the blood remembers.
