Şarkı sözleri

VERSE 1
He knelt beneath a flag half-raised
A brother’s name etched where he prayed
The boots were empty, but not gone
The silence played a hero’s song

She wore his dog tags on her chest
Still fights the war that stole her rest
The folded cloth don’t fill the space—
But tells the world: *he took my place*

PRE-CHORUS
They gave their breath, they gave their name
No glory sought, just love and flame
So if I stand and speak today—
It’s ‘cause they bled to carve the way

CHORUS
Ode to the fallen—your fire remains
Lit in the hearts of our unbroken veins
I walk this ground, I sing this plea—
You died with honor, so *I am free*

VERSE 2
She sends her son with trembling hands
To serve the oath he barely understands
But somewhere deep, he knows the price—
That freedom’s stitched in sacrifice

They laugh in parks, they speak their mind
They protest loud—that’s by design
It wasn’t peace that paved this land—
But silent guards with battle hands

PRE-CHORUS
No statue holds the weight they bore
It’s in the breath that we ignore
So if I live without the chain—
It’s ‘cause they stood and bore the strain

CHORUS
Ode to the fallen—your voices rise
Through morning’s hush and mother’s cries
You gave me choice, you gave me key—
So I write this vow: *I won’t live cheaply*

BRIDGE (spoken beneath rising strings)
Freedom isn’t free.
It’s just already paid for.
In blood, in silence,
In names that echo…
And names we’ve lost.

FINAL CHORUS (soaring full band + choir)
Ode to the fallen—your light won’t fade
In every dawn your courage stays
We speak, we dream, we raise our eyes—
Because you gave the final cry

So plant my flag, but never me—
Not while I sing: *I am free.*
