Engines roared as the skies burned red

Wings of iron, where angels fear to tread

Fire in my heart, war in the sky

But the ground came too fast, and I fell from high

Crashed behind enemy lines, far from home

A soldier alone in a land unknown

Traded my wings for shadows and lies

With every step, hope barely survives

Through forests deep and rivers wide

Disguised, I ran where fear would hide

Each night was cold, every breath, a fight—

The road to freedom stayed just out of sight

Through forests deep and rivers wide

Disguised, I ran where fear would hide

Each night was cold, every breath, a fight—

The road to freedom stayed just out of sight

Chasing horizons, running through fire

The weight of survival fueled my desire

Miles to go, with danger at my back

Every heartbeat stayed on track

Two months of silence, steel and stone

But I found my way, and now I'm home

Faceless crowds and whispers of doom

Hiding in darkness, fear's cold bloom

Fell with the rain, rose with the dust

Betrayed by some, found strangers to trust

I saw cities crumble and friends disappear

But held on tight to the face I held dear

With nothing but grit and faith to guide

I fought the odds and stayed alive

Through winding roads and barren tracks

I never let the world push me back

Every scar a mark of pain endured

But love was the compass that kept me assured

Chasing horizons, running through fire

The weight of survival fueled my desire

Miles to go, with danger at my back

Every heartbeat stayed on track

Two months of silence, steel and stone

But I found my way, and now I'm home

Now I stand at the door, heart in my throat

The same man, yet carved from a different note

Her eyes meet mine, and time melts away—

Every trial was worth this day

Chasing horizons, running through fire

The weight of survival fueled my desire

Miles to go, with danger at my back

Every heartbeat stayed on track

Two months of silence, steel and stone

But I found my way, and now I'm home

Now I stand at the door, heart in my throat

The same man, yet carved from a different note

Her eyes meet mine, and time melts away—

Every trial was worth this day

Two months of silence, steel and stone

And now I'm home

Chasing horizons, no more to roam

The war behind me—now I'm home
