Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They came from the east, shadows in their wake,
Nuka World turned red, every life they'd take.
The screams of the lost, they still haunt the air,
But the Minutemen heard, and they swore to care.
[Chorus]
The General’s orders rang clear through the land,
“Exterminate the raiders, with justice in hand.”
From the Commonwealth’s heart, a noble decree,
No mercy for the cruel, let the wasteland be free.
[Verse 2]
We marched on their gates, through the ash and the grime,
Every step a reminder of their wicked crime.
The bosses stood tall, defiant and cold,
But their reign of terror was a tale now old.
[Prechorus]
Steel met steel, cries filled the night,
The Minutemen stood, for what was right.
[Chorus]
The General’s orders rang clear through the land,
“Exterminate the raiders, with justice in hand.”
From the Commonwealth’s heart, a noble decree,
No mercy for the cruel, let the wasteland be free.
[Bridge]
They begged and they bargained, but the debt was too steep,
For the lives they had stolen, and the wounds that run deep.
The bosses fell silent, chains at their feet,
Justice delivered, their downfall complete.
They came from the east, shadows in their wake,
Nuka World turned red, every life they'd take.
The screams of the lost, they still haunt the air,
But the Minutemen heard, and they swore to care.
[Chorus]
The General’s orders rang clear through the land,
“Exterminate the raiders, with justice in hand.”
From the Commonwealth’s heart, a noble decree,
No mercy for the cruel, let the wasteland be free.
[Verse 2]
We marched on their gates, through the ash and the grime,
Every step a reminder of their wicked crime.
The bosses stood tall, defiant and cold,
But their reign of terror was a tale now old.
[Prechorus]
Steel met steel, cries filled the night,
The Minutemen stood, for what was right.
[Chorus]
The General’s orders rang clear through the land,
“Exterminate the raiders, with justice in hand.”
From the Commonwealth’s heart, a noble decree,
No mercy for the cruel, let the wasteland be free.
[Bridge]
They begged and they bargained, but the debt was too steep,
For the lives they had stolen, and the wounds that run deep.
The bosses fell silent, chains at their feet,
Justice delivered, their downfall complete.
Style of Music
melodic, acoustic with a somber tone; fingerpicked guitar leads the way, world, country, with a steady rhythm and an air of righteous resolve., joined by soft fiddle and a mournful harmonica. male vocals carry the weight of the story
