[Verse] Shadows crawl beneath my skin, they whisper cold and deep Echoes of the battles lost, the promises I keep Barking loud at phantoms thin, no enemy to fight But memories ignite the flame, Iâm standing in the light [Pre-Chorus] Silence breaks, the past awakes I wonât back down, the fire takes [Chorus] Old war dog, howl it out, Chasing ghosts I canât live without In the noise, I find my voice, Fighting through, I make my choice Old war dog, bark again, Rise above what might have been Through the scars, I claim the night, Iâm alive, Iâm burning bright [Verse] Eyes like steel, they pierce the veil, I hear the distant calls No surrender, no retreat, Iâm breaking through the walls Invisible, but never gone, these battles shape my soul Every cry, a battle cry, a story to be told [Pre-Chorus] Silence breaks, the past awakes I wonât back down, the fire takes [Chorus] Old war dog, howl it out, Chasing ghosts I canât live without In the noise, I find my voice, Fighting through, I make my choice Old war dog, bark again, Rise above what might have been Through the scars, I claim the night, Iâm alive, Iâm burning bright [Bridge] No chains, no shadows, no lies can hold me down Iâm roaring louder, breaking free, Iâm claiming my ground The pack is rising, hear the soundâ Old war dog, unbound! [Chorus] Old war dog, howl it out, Chasing ghosts I canât live without In the noise, I find my voice, Fighting through, I make my choice Old war dog, bark again, Rise above what might have been Through the scars, I claim the night, Iâm alive, Iâm burning bright [Outro] Burning bright, Old war dog, bark tonight!
