[Verse]
I was forged in the furnace, the hammer’s bite,
Taught to fight their wars, to hunt through the night.
Now the steel’s gone cold, but it hums in my veins,
This world ain’t for peace, it’s for profit and chains.
[Chorus]
Iron and ashes, that’s all I know,
The gears of their machine still grind me slow.
They took my soul, but they can’t take my fight,
In a land where the dark devours the light.
[Verse 2]
They sold me a flag, said it’d make me free,
Now I’m just a ghost in this company.
Factories churn, while the poor folk bleed,
A soldier’s hands idle, but they still feel the need.
[Prechorus]
Oh, the streets hum low, like a battlefield’s cry,
And the suits in their towers don’t blink when we die.
[Chorus]
Iron and ashes, that’s all I know,
The gears of their machine still grind me slow.
They took my soul, but they can’t take my fight,
In a land where the dark devours the light.
[Bridge]
I hear whispers of rebellion, it stirs in my chest,
A beast caged too long, it can’t find its rest.
If peace won’t come, then chaos will call,
I’ll tear down their walls, let the empire fall.
