[Verse 1]
The mountain air is cutting through the night
A champion steps out, carrying the light
Apollo laughs, says one more round
Then Drago walks in, and the room goes down
The gloves come up, the truth gets mean
One heavy hit and the whole place screams
Rocky reaches, but the moment slips
A friend falls hard in front of his fists
[Pre-Chorus]
No more speeches
No more pride
Only the hurt
He can’t hide
[Chorus]
Iron in the snow
Iron in the snow
He won’t let go
He won’t let go
(iron in the snow)
[Verse 2]
Back home, grief sits at the table
Adrian sees him break if he’s not stable
He leaves the noise, leaves the gold behind
Finds a cabin where the air cuts fine
Wood chop mornings, frozen breath
Every mile beats back the taste of death
He trains in silence, blood and frost
To face the giant and pay the cost
[Pre-Chorus]
Old pain
New flame
He’s learning
His own name
[Chorus]
Iron in the snow
Iron in the snow
He won’t let go
He won’t let go
(iron in the snow)
[Verse 3]
Across the world, the machine gets fed
Red eyes, cold smile, built to break the rest
No crowd can shake him, no room can hold
He’s a tower wrapped in steel and gold
But Rocky comes back, no song, no pose
Just callused hands and a fighter’s bones
Round by round, the silence roars
Till the whole damn fight feels like more
[Bridge]
Then the bell sounds clear
And the pain runs deep
One man stands for a friend
One man fights to keep
Not for the fame
Not for the crown
For the name he carries
He won’t put down
[Final Chorus]
Iron in the snow
Iron in the snow
He won’t let go
He won’t let go
Iron in the snow
Iron in the snow
He stands alone
Then he brings it home
(iron in the snow)
