Gates of Pain

[Verse 1]
Ash in my lungs
Blood on my name
I carve my way
Through these gates of pain
Chain on my chest
Scars like a crown
Every step shakes
But I won’t bow down
[Chorus]
Metal heart
Still burning in the flame
I am vengeance
Walking through the pain
Through the screams
I’m searching for a voice of joy
Pain is temporary
Pain is temporary
[Verse 2]
Walls closing in
Teeth made of doubt
They want me silent
They’ll just hear me shout (hey!)
Eyes full of fire
Smile in the rain
I learned to laugh
Inside the strain
[Chorus]
Metal heart
Still burning in the flame
I am vengeance
Walking through the pain
Through the screams
I’m searching for a voice of joy
Pain is temporary
Pain is temporary
[Bridge]
Let it cut
Let it crack the fear away
Every wound
Is a toll I chose to pay
I was lost
Now I rise from where I fell
Carry joy
Like a weapon out of hell (woah)
[Chorus]
Metal heart
Still burning in the flame
I am vengeance
Walking through the pain
Through the screams
I’m searching for a voice of joy
Pain is temporary
Pain is temporary

metal, Modern metalcore with down-tuned guitars, double-kick bursts, and aggressive male vocals. Verses are tight and tense with palm-muted chugs; chorus opens into big, melodic chords and soaring lines over gang shouts. Brief halftime breakdown before the last hook, with a rising feedback swell to close.
