Lyrics:

Verse:
In the winter’s hush, when the night runs deep
Footsteps vanish where the shadows creep
A silent war beneath the iron sky
The oath is sworn—never bow, never die
The wind bears whispers of the unseen fight

Verse:
Through the empty streets in the dead of night
He moves unseen like a ghost in flight
No name, no face—just a fleeting trace
The hunter striking, leaving not a chase
A nation’s hope behind his weary eyes

Chorus:
Number 24, lost in the storm
A guiding flame where the dark winds form
The burden carried, the price was high
But freedom calls, though the brave may die

Verse:
Steel rails shattered, the bridges burn
The enemy blinds as the tables turn
A message lost, a whisper fades
Yet echoes linger in the barricades
A kingdom forged in the ember’s glow

Verse:
Not all who fight walk home again
Some bear wounds too deep to mend
The weight of war, the silent toll
The deeds remain, but they stain the soul
The victor’s crown is woven in the dark

Chorus:
Number 24, lost in the storm
A guiding flame where the dark winds form
The burden carried, the price was high
But freedom calls, though the brave may die

Verse:
The dawn has come, but the scars remain
The past still lingers in blood and rain
The names we carved, the lives we swore
The war is won, but there’ll be more
The ghosts still walk beneath the midnight frost

Chorus:
Number 24, lost in the storm
A guiding flame where the dark winds form
The burden carried, the price was high
But freedom calls, though the brave may die

Final Chorus:
Number 24, etched in the past
A silent name, but the echoes last
Through time and dust, his tale won’t fade
A shadow’s mark in the light he made
