Heavy, distorted guitar riff kicks in, accompanied by a slow, pounding drum beat)
(Verse 1)
Black ice on the highway line.
No clock ticking out of time.
Cold wind howling in the dark.
Dead eyes looking for a spark.
Steel boots stepping on the stone.
This road leads to the unknown.
(Chorus)
Cold rock beneath my feet.
No surrender, no defeat.
Hard truth, a bitter pill.
Iron heart that cannot chill.
Break the chains, ignite the night.
We crush the dark and grab the light.
(Verse 2)
Smoke rises from the valley floor.
No one knocking on the door.
Frozen teeth and a jagged grin.
Let the heavy storm begin.
Shadows stretching on the wall.
Built too high to ever fall.
(Chorus)
Cold rock beneath my feet.
No surrender, no defeat.
Hard truth, a bitter pill.
Iron heart that cannot chill.
Break the chains, ignite the night.
We crush the dark and grab the light.
(Bridge)
(Drums speed up into a double-time rhythm, bass line getting heavier)
Stone cold.
Hard truth.
No fear.
Lost youth.
Strike the flint, feel the heat.
We won't accept your cold defeat.
(Guitar Solo)
(Screaming, high-octane guitar solo over a thumping bass pedal)
(Chorus)
Cold rock beneath my feet.
No surrender, no defeat.
Hard truth, a bitter pill.
Iron heart that cannot chill.
Break the chains, ignite the night.
We crush the dark and grab the light.
