Vertibirds At Dawn

[Verse 1]
They came at first light
through the broken gate
Gunners on the ridge line
lookin' mean and brave
They took the feed trucks
they lit the barn
Scared the old watch tower
split the town apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the radio crackled
to the Capitol square
The President stood up
with fire in his stare
He said, "Not one more inch
not one more line"
And the whole East rallied
on the same straight sign

[Chorus]
Vertibirds in the sky
Vertibirds in the sky
Storm comin' down
from a steel blue line
Power Armor rollin'
Power Armor rollin'
Gunners better run
when the sirens climb

[Verse 2]
Boots hit the mud road
like a thunder drum
Chrome fists through the barricade
one by one by one
They smashed that scum line
back into the dust
By the old red silo
they forgot their luck

[Pre-Chorus]
Blades cut the wind hard
over rooftops low
The whole field shook
when the engines growled
Mothers on the porch steps
held their breath and prayed
Then the sky turned loyal
and the raiders paid

[Chorus]
Vertibirds in the sky
Vertibirds in the sky
Storm comin' down
from a steel blue line
Power Armor rollin'
Power Armor rollin'
Gunners better run
when the sirens climb

[Bridge]
From the river to the market
they heard the call
No more takin' from the weak
no more lettin' us fall
One voice in the valley
one flag in the rain
And we stood up together
sayin' never again

[Final Chorus]
Vertibirds in the sky
Vertibirds in the sky
Storm comin' down
from a steel blue line
Power Armor rollin'
Power Armor rollin'
Gunners better run
when the sirens climb
Vertibirds in the sky
Vertibirds in the sky
The Commonwealth stands
and the bad men hide
