Wake 'em up! Back in the trenches. Food up! Put the armor on! Let's work! Down in the trenches, we putting the work in. Enemy lurking, but we never hurting. Sweating that heat, got the truth on the belt. Bringing that heat that the devil gonna melt. What, what, what, what? Yeah, we holding the line. I wake up every morning, gotta put the heavy armor on. Fighting against the darkness from the midnight to the early dawn. They throwing the darts, but they hitting the shield. I'm standing my ground.
