Ironclad resolve

(Verse 1)

I took a walk, another spin, around this troubled mind

The world still floats, the shadows creep, leaving scars behind

Remember promises we made, beneath the fading light?

You swore you’d be there, holding strong, through every endless night.

The initial storm, it passed us by, the chaos starts to fade

But everyday’s a silent test, a new price to be paid.

(Chorus)

If I stand firm, if I don't break, will you still call me "Rock"?

If I face down the daily grind, will you still watch the clock?

To see if I return on time, or if I lose my way

'Cause the real fight isn't just the fall, it's living day by day.

I'll keep you by my side, with all my human might,

Through the long years' crawl, my ironclad resolve.

(Verse 2)

You called me strong, you called me weak, and still my secrets kept

The quiet fears that linger deep, the tears I never wept.

We built a bridge across the gaps, the cracks began to heal

But trust is like a fragile glass, how much can it reveal?

The easy answers disappeared, the simple truth decayed

Now every step's a winding path, a choice that must be made.

(Chorus)

If I stand firm, if I don't break, will you still call me "Rock"?

If I face down the daily grind, will you still watch the clock?

To see if I return on time, or if I lose my way

'Cause the real fight isn't just the fall, it's living day by day.

I'll keep you by my side, with all my human might,

Through the long years' crawl, my ironclad resolve.

(Bridge)

The villain’s changed, no cape in sight, just whispers in the breeze

The subtle doubt, the fading light, the struggle to find ease.

It’s not a single epic blow, but erosion of the soul

A different kind of battle now, to keep yourself whole.

And the kryptonite that binds us now, is just the weight of years

The silent battles fought alone, the unacknowledged fears.

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)

If I stand firm, if I don't break, will you still call me "Rock"?

If I face down the daily grind, will you still watch the clock?

To see if I return on time, or if I lose my way

'Cause the real fight isn't just the fall, it's living day by day.

I'll keep you by my side, with all my human might,

Through the long years' crawl, my ironclad resolve.

(Outro)

Yeah, my resolve, still burning bright,

Through the long years' crawl, holding tight.

Still here, still standing.
