가사
[Verse 1]
When the sirens hit the Commonwealth roads
Folks shut their doors and held their loads
Big green shadows on the broken ground
Turned safe old streets to a fear-filled town
The General came in a steel-white shell
With a squad that knew that frontier well
Laser light cut through the ash and rain
Power fists made the pavement shake
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the radios crackled, clear and loud
“Hold your line now, stand your ground”
Boots hit hard in a rolling ring
And every scared heart started to sing
[Chorus]
Ride on, General, ride
Burn the Muties off the line
Ride on, General, ride
Keep the Commonwealth alive
(ride on, ride on)
Steel in the dawn
Till the bad day’s gone
[Verse 2]
By the mill and the rusted bridge
They took the hill and they took the ridge
One by one in the broken lane
Muties fell to the laser flame
Every farm boy saw that sight
A fierce old dream in the dead of night
Power armor shining through the smoke
Like a promise that the land still hoped
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the radios crackled, clear and loud
“Hold your line now, stand your ground”
Boots hit hard in a rolling ring
And every scared heart started to sing
[Chorus]
Ride on, General, ride
Burn the Muties off the line
Ride on, General, ride
Keep the Commonwealth alive
(ride on, ride on)
Steel in the dawn
Till the bad day’s gone
[Bridge]
Now the fields ain’t empty, no
There’s a name the whole world knows
When the dark comes down from the hill
They’ll meet that squad and they will
[Final Chorus]
Ride on, General, ride
Burn the Muties off the line
Ride on, General, ride
Keep the Commonwealth alive
(ride on, ride on)
Steel in the dawn
Till the bad day’s gone
(ride on, General)
Till the bad day’s gone

Country melodic heroic with mid-tempo four-on-the-floor kick, picked acoustic guitar, fiddle lines, stomping bass, and steady snare; verse rides lean and story-driven, pre-chorus lifts with rising fiddle and gang harmonies, chorus opens wide with bright stacked vocals and a held steel-guitar answer, bridge strips to voice and guitar before the final chorus surges with full drum fill, handclaps, and shouted crew chants. Close-mic lead vocal, warm doubles on the hook, short delay throws on key names, dusty-but-bright mix., country
