[Verse 1]
Rust on the helmet and battleworn boots
Paper-thin promises inked in the suits
Train through the outskirts, forbidden to speak
Gun-metal sunlight is licking my cheek

[Pre-Chorus]
Silence erupts with the crackle of fear
Order and reason dissolved by the year

[Chorus]
Wild in the siren red morning, I'm marching on hungry and cold
Soldier of no one's horizon, a number with hands full of gold
Laughter rings under the thunder, just following orders they say
Wild in the siren red morning, I'm taking the future away

[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey, wild boy, wild boy
Hey hey, wild boy

[Verse 2]
Boots drag the dirt on the border, the wires sing deep in my ear
Shadowy heroes and traitors, they vanish and then they appear
I can't recall where I'm heading, the sky is a flickering screen
Ghosts in parade form are grinning, it's hard to know what it all means

[Pre-Chorus]
No one remembers my number or name
Glory dissolves in the static of rain

[Chorus]
Wild in the siren red morning, I'm marching on hungry and cold
Soldier of no one's horizon, a number with hands full of gold
Laughter rings under the thunder, just following orders they say
Wild in the siren red morning, I'm taking the future away

[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey, wild boy, wild boy
Hey hey, wild boy

[Bridge]
Markers and medals keep clattering down
A mirror reflects back a carnival crown
Smoke on the moonlit horizon, the world spinning out of my fist
Footsteps are lost in the silence, I’m chasing what doesn’t exist

[Chorus]
Wild in the siren red morning, I’m marching on hungry and cold
Soldier of no one’s horizon, a number with hands full of gold
Laughter rings under the thunder, just following orders they say
Wild in the siren red morning, I’m taking the future away

[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey, wild boy, wild boy
Hey hey, wild boy
Hey hey, wild boy, wild boy
Hey hey, wild boy

[Outro]
Faces and chances all faded to grey
Old anthems burned on the wires today
Silhouettes drifting from out of the gleam
Beyond all borders, I walk through the dream

Hey hey, wild boy, wild boy
Hey hey, wild boy, wild boy
Hey hey

[Outro]
Faces and chances all faded to grey
Old anthems burned on the wires today
Silhouettes drifting from out of the gleam
Beyond all borders, I walk through the dream

Hey hey, wild boy, wild boy
Hey hey, wild boy, wild boy
Hey hey

[Coda]
Lanterns are flickering, nameless and strange
Ashes drift over the silence and range
Red thread of daylight is breaking the grey
Still wild and wandering, fading away

Hey hey, wild boy, wild boy
Hey hey, wild boy, wild boy
Hey hey
