Behemoth of the Commonwealth

[Verse 1]
Rust on the overpass
Ash in the autumn sky
Whispers run through the settlements
“Tonight something big walks by”
Kids hide under bunker doors
Farmhands clutch their guns
One shadow shakes the power lines
Like the end has finally come

[Chorus]
Behemoth of the Commonwealth
Shaking earth with every stride
Everyone’s praying it keeps on walking
No one wants to step outside
But one old ghost from a buried war
Straps in, seals the visor tight
Steel and scars against the dark
He’s riding out to meet that night

[Verse 2]
They say he came from a broken base
Left under a mountain’s bones
Paint chipped off that battle frame
Name scratched on the faded chrome
He’s seen cities turned to dust
He’s heard freedom on the wind
And when the sirens start to howl
He just says, “Not this again” (oh no)

[Chorus]
Behemoth of the Commonwealth
Shaking earth with every stride
Everyone’s praying it keeps on walking
No one wants to step outside
But one old ghost from a buried war
Straps in, seals the visor tight
Old world armor, old world oath
He’s riding out to meet that night

[Bridge]
He walks out past the farmland fence
Mud and broken bones under his boots
That giant roars, the hillsides answer
But the old man’s got older roots
“Son, I’ve seen worse than you,” he laughs
Sunlight burning off the rust
“Commonwealth’s got kids to raise
You ain’t turning them to dust” (hey!)

[Chorus]
Behemoth of the Commonwealth
Falls down where the wild grass grows
Echoes fade through the shattered valleys
Like the last of the thunder goes
And that lone guard in his weathered shell
Turns back toward the lantern light
Old world armor, standing guard
Keeping watch on a brand-new night
