Letra
Yeah
Close my eyes
And we are young again
Yeah
Nineteen years old with the rain coming down
Five muddy brothers on the edge of town
Danny had the radio tied up with wire
Cole told jokes when the whole sky caught fire
Johnny read the jungle like a neon sign
Mack carried two packs and still outran mine
I kept a rhythm tapping under my breath
We made noise just to scare off death
We crossed that river under red moonlight
Carried one another through the longest night
No speeches no medals no hero pose
Just five wild hearts saying nobody goes
Every mile became a story
Every scar became a spark
We were young enough for glory
Bright enough to beat the dark
We were kings of the monsoon
Lightning underneath the green
Five shadows under one moon
Louder than the war machine
When the whole world tried to shake us
We came laughing through the smoke
We were kings of the monsoon
And the thunder knew us all
Oh oh
The thunder knew us all
Oh oh
Midnight map torn compass spinning fast
Danny said relax I know a shortcut back
Two hours later same old broken tree
Cole said great work now the tree knows me
Then a chopper dropped behind the eastern ridge
Pilot waving hard by a half burned bridge
We pulled him free while the fuel burned blue
Mack took the controls like he somehow knew
Did he know how to fly
Not even close
But Johnny found the switch
And I prayed the most
Rotors out of rhythm rain inside the frame
Five muddy devils yelling every name
No camera rolling no headline proof
Just a story too crazy not to be true
Every mile became a story
Every scar became a spark
We were young enough for glory
Bright enough to beat the dark
We were kings of the monsoon
Lightning underneath the green
Five shadows under one moon
Louder than the war machine
When the whole world tried to shake us
We came laughing through the smoke
We were kings of the monsoon
And the thunder knew us all
One for the river
Two for the rain
Three for the night that broken chopper flew
Four for the bridge hanging over the flame
Five for the brothers who remembered my name
We never looked clean
Never stood straight
Always came running about one minute late
But if one went in
Then we all went through
That was the promise
That was the crew
Were we afraid
Of course
We just never let fear
Choose the road
Now Danny owns a bar somewhere near the sea
Cole has three kids who laugh just like he
Johnny sends a postcard every Fourth of July
Mack tells the chopper story bigger every time
When we meet we do not mourn the years
We raise up the room till the whole place cheers
For one bright moment we are young again
Running through the storm with the world in our hands
We were kings of the monsoon
Lightning underneath the green
Five shadows under one moon
Louder than the war machine
Let the years keep moving forward
They can never take it all
We were kings of the monsoon
And the thunder knows us still
Oh oh
The thunder knows us still
Oh oh
Now the rain is falling quietly
Like it did so long ago
Five young hearts still run beside me
Everywhere I go
You can leave the jungle
But the legends follow you
Follow you
Follow you
Follow you
Follow you
Close my eyes
And we are young again
Yeah
Nineteen years old with the rain coming down
Five muddy brothers on the edge of town
Danny had the radio tied up with wire
Cole told jokes when the whole sky caught fire
Johnny read the jungle like a neon sign
Mack carried two packs and still outran mine
I kept a rhythm tapping under my breath
