Lyrics

Gunfire cracks and my heartbeat pounds
Smoke in my eyes the world spins round
Left paw right paw — don’t look back
Just keep on running through the smoke and black

Ash on my fur mud in my teeth
Terror tangled underneath
I was made to guard to stand and fight…
But something in me snapped tonight

Run Ranger run…
I’m not a hero — I ran away
Run Ranger run…
I couldn’t watch them fall and stay
Run Ranger run…
I broke the chain I crossed the line
I ran from the fire I ran from time

Sir said “Sit and stay” but I was gone
The ground split open the sky screamed on
Singing wind a burning cry
One last bark — then goodbye

My body moved my mind stood still
Instinct crushed my training’s will
I was meant to be loyal proud and strong…
Now every step feels wrong

Run Ranger run…
Their trust was gold — I left it in dust
Run Ranger run…
I broke the vow betrayed the trust
Run Ranger run…
No leash no post the war still screams
And I can’t fight — not even in dreams

I hear the ghosts behind my tail
Silent eyes and broken wails
No one followed no one called
Just a dog who vanished in the fog

This uniform I wore with pride
Tore apart the day I lied
No redemption no parade —
Only trees and deeper shade

I left my home I left the love
Now I’m a name they never speak
I left my bark in blood-soaked sand
Now I crawl through No One’s Land

Run Ranger run…
I made my choice — now I disappear
Run Ranger run…
No more glory only fear
Run Ranger run…
Forget my name forget the drum
I only know how to run

No leash No badge No light No gun
Just forest shade and a setting sun
I was a soldier… once And then—
I ran
