**"Wings of Rust"**
*(A Rock Ballad of Escape and Longing)*
I watch the sky through cracks in the pavement,
Feathers stuck in a world of enslavement.
Every headline’s a knife in my chest,
Another soul lost in the chaos, oppressed.
I don’t wanna fall where the vultures still feed,
On the bones of the broken, the pain that they breed.
If I could just vanish, dissolve in the breeze,
Maybe then—maybe then I’d find peace.
Oh, I wish I was a bird,
I’d let the storm take me away from this hurt.
No more chains, no more dirt,
Just the wind and the clouds where the shadows don’t work.
**Fly—** till the world stops burning,
**High—** where the light’s returning.
They sell us poison and call it a cure,
Drown out the truth with the sound of the war.
A dollar’s worth more than a life these days,
I’m just a ghost in the rat-race parade.
I don’t wanna stand where the fire still breathes,
Where the wolves wear suits and the angels bleed.
If I could just vanish, let wings carry me,
Maybe then—maybe then I’d be free.
Oh, I wish I was a bird,
I’d let the storm take me away from this hurt.
No more chains, no more dirt,
Just the wind and the clouds where the shadows don’t work.
**Fly—** till the world stops burning,
**High—** where the light’s returning.
**[Bridge]** *(Guitar Solo - Soaring, chaotic, then fading into calm)*
Maybe up there, the air’s still clean,
Maybe up there, hate’s just a dream.
But down here? The sky’s made of rust,
And all I want—is to turn into dust.
**[Outro]** *(Soft, fading)*
So let me go, let me rise,
Turn my body to the ether and the endless sky.
If heaven won’t take me, then the wind will instead—
Just keep me flying… till the world’s dead.
*(Final note lingers, like wings disappearing into the horizon.)*
