Intro (dark, atmospheric, with tremolo picked guitars)
- Amidst the furnace skies we ride the storm,
- Iron hearts alight in tempests born.
- Shadows cling where anvils ring,
- The night exhales its steel-black wind.
Verse 1
- Hear the hammer’s call, the forge ignites,
- Cobalt sparks flame the void of night.
- We ride the rails of rusted dawn,
- With unyielding will, we march on.
Pre-Chorus
- Chains of doubt shatter, we break the mold,
- Screams fade to embers turning gold.
- Rise, revenants of the iron throng,
- Serpents of doubt silenced in our song.
Chorus
- Flames in the veins, thunder in the bone,
- We stand unbroken, never alone.
- Embers of the iron dawn break the night,
- We forge our fate in brutal light.
Verse 2
- Wheels grind the cliffs of fate’s domain,
- Blood-red rain baptizes the plains.
- Steel-born saints, we don the cry,
- Into the furnace, we spit the sky.
Pre-Chorus
- Echoes of ashes crown the throne,
- We claim the crown of the marrowed bone.
- Hear the roar of the iron crusade,
- Thunder-clad storms in parade.
Chorus
- Flames in the veins, thunder in the bone,
- We stand unbroken, never alone.
- Embers of the iron dawn break the night,
- We forge our fate in brutal light.
Bridge / Breakdown (slower, heavier, groove section)
- (spoken growl) The world will bend, but we endure,
- (growl) Beneath the furnace, we are pure.
- Searing riffs cut through the veil,
- On iron wings, we blaze the trail.
- Pulse beneath the blackened sky,
- We anchor dawn as the anvil cries.
- Ground shakes with the chorus’ roar,
- We’re the storm that shakes this war.
Final Chorus / Outro (repeat, escalated)
- Flames in the veins, thunder in the bone,
- We stand unbroken, never alone.
- Embers of the iron dawn break the night,
- We forge our fate in brutal light.
