[Verse 1] General, the Raiders came high Like wolves in a flood Mercs and all the scum Kickin' up red mud They cut through the cornrows They rattled every gate But I seen that old steel giant Stand up and hold the weight
[Pre-Chorus] He rolled out slow Like thunder in a shell Badge on his shoulder And the whole town breathed as well One rifle glowing One heart set hard He drew that line in the dirt Right in the Commonwealth yard
[Chorus] General, stand tall Stand tall, General With that laser in your hands You made 'em run and crawl General, stand tall Stand tall, General In your giant power armor You were a wall, you were a wall
[Verse 2] They swarmed from the bridge road Past the busted trucks Laughing like they owned it Counting on bad luck But he moved like a sentinel Heavy and sure Every shot found midnight Every step found the cure
[Pre-Chorus] Ain't no mercy For a knife in the back Ain't no room for the weak When they come down the track He spoke one word Then the world lit bright And the Raiders broke apart In the dead of night
[Chorus] General, stand tall Stand tall, General With that laser in your hands You made 'em run and crawl General, stand tall Stand tall, General In your giant power armor You were a wall, you were a wall
[Bridge] Now the dust settles low On the farms and the road Kids can sleep easy 'Cause he carried the load If the Commonwealth bends He don't let it fall There's a giant in the wasteland And he's guarding us all
[Final Chorus] General, stand tall Stand tall, General With that laser in your hands You made 'em run and crawl General, stand tall Stand tall, General In your giant power armor You were a wall, you were a wall
A zene stílusa
Country melodic heroic with mid-tempo two-step sway, steady kick-snare and picked acoustic guitar under a low banjo pulse; verse rides sparse with boots-on-dirt storytelling, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmony and a held fiddle note, chorus opens wide with gang vocals and a proud singback hook. Warm male lead vocal with gritty doubles on the title, short delay throws on the last word, steel-guitar fills between lines, riser into each chorus, bright and punchy mix with a dust-blown frontier shine., country
