[Verse] Faded jacket, scars beneath the skin Echoes chasing footsteps where I’ve been Cold steel heart wrapped in a worn-out name Lost in the shadows, swallowed by the flame [Pre-Chorus] But somewhere in the darkness, I hear it clear A distant crowd, like a voice in my ear [Chorus] Clap, clap, clapping in the tunnel deep Ghosts rise from the silence where I used to weep Hands that don’t know me, but they call my name Old soldier standing, caught inside the flame Clap, clap, clapping in the underground Feel the fight inside me, hear that sacred sound Like a battle won, like a long-lost crown Old soldier’s applause, shaking this town [Verse] Broken medals hung on rusted chains Dreams dissolved like rain beneath the trains Every step a memory, every breath a scar Haunted by the war that led me this far [Pre-Chorus] But somewhere in the darkness, I hear it clear A distant crowd, like a voice in my ear [Chorus] Clap, clap, clapping in the tunnel deep Ghosts rise from the silence where I used to weep Hands that don’t know me, but they call my name Old soldier standing, caught inside the flame Clap, clap, clapping in the underground Feel the fight inside me, hear that sacred sound Like a battle won, like a long-lost crown Old soldier’s applause, shaking this town [Bridge] No more shadows, no more pain Burning embers in the rain I’m alive beneath the roar Hear the crowd — I’m something more [Chorus] Clap, clap, clapping in the tunnel deep Ghosts rise from the silence where I used to weep Hands that don’t know me, but they call my name Old soldier standing, caught inside the flame Clap, clap, clapping in the underground Feel the fight inside me, hear that sacred sound Like a battle won, like a long-lost crown Old soldier’s applause, shaking this town [Outro] Clap it loud, echo proud Old soldier, standing now Clap it loud, echo proud In the tunnel, hear me now
