[Verse 1]
Boots on steel, ramp light burnin'
Mask glass gleam in the dawn
Commonwealth fields down below us
One more war to carry on
Engines roar, red rope shakin'
Sergeant’s hand up in the air
“Drop on three” and my heart’s racin'
But I’m already sayin’ a prayer
[Chorus]
We are the skyfall, sons of the Eagle
Comin’ down hard on the wicked and the weak
Steel on my shoulders, flag on my conscience
Do the job, don’t you dare overthink
Mutant shadows in the alleys, armored ghosts on rusted streets
We are the skyfall, and justice comes on armored feet
[Verse 2]
Wind hits hard as we’re fallin'
Whole world hums in my ears
See that glow where the rotfolk gather
Smell of cordite, taste of fear
Painted plates on the old knights’ armor
They raise guns, they never learn
One blue flash and the ground erupts
Another page to twist and burn
[Chorus]
We are the skyfall, sons of the Eagle
Comin’ down hard on the wicked and the weak
Steel on my shoulders, flag on my conscience
Do the job, don’t you dare overthink
Mutant shadows in the alleys, armored ghosts on rusted streets
We are the skyfall, and justice comes on armored feet
[Bridge]
Mama said “boy, choose the right side”
Out there, right side’s hard to see
But this badge on my chest, this oath in my throat
That’s the only thing holdin’ me
So I press that trigger steady
’Til the Geiger stops its song
If there’s sin in what we’re doin'
Lord, you’ll sort it when I’m gone (when I’m gone)
[Chorus]
We are the skyfall, sons of the Eagle
Comin’ down hard on the wicked and the weak
Steel on my shoulders, flag on my conscience
Do the job, don’t you dare overthink
Mutant shadows in the alleys, armored ghosts on rusted streets
We are the skyfall, and justice comes on armored feet
Boots on steel, ramp light burnin'
Mask glass gleam in the dawn
Commonwealth fields down below us
One more war to carry on
Engines roar, red rope shakin'
Sergeant’s hand up in the air
“Drop on three” and my heart’s racin'
But I’m already sayin’ a prayer
[Chorus]
We are the skyfall, sons of the Eagle
Comin’ down hard on the wicked and the weak
Steel on my shoulders, flag on my conscience
Do the job, don’t you dare overthink
Mutant shadows in the alleys, armored ghosts on rusted streets
We are the skyfall, and justice comes on armored feet
[Verse 2]

Whole world hums in my ears

Musikstyle
country, Heroic country ballad with male vocals, mid-tempo swing. Clean Telecaster picking and warm upright bass in the verses; big open-strum acoustics and soaring steel guitar in the chorus. Snare with a sturdy backbeat, baritone backing harmonies on hooks. Starts restrained, then grows into a proud, cinematic final chorus with ringing chords and held vocal notes.
