Ash and Iron

[Verse 1]
Rust in my lungs
Black on my hands
Every old scar
Spells out your demands
You built me in fear
You sharpened my will
Thought you were god
I was just steel
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore your blame like broken armor
Dragged my name through broken glass
Thought your truth was carved in granite
Watch it crack
Watch it pass
[Chorus]
I rise from ash and iron
Screaming out your name
You forged me just to break me
Now I melt your chains
You tried to be my kingdom
I burned down every throne
From ash and iron
I’m finally my own
[Verse 2]
Your voice in my head
Hammer on bone
“Bow when I speak”
Echoes like stone
But pressure makes form
And pressure breaks
Too
You taught me resistance
I’m using on you (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore your blame like broken armor
Dragged my name through broken glass
Thought your truth was carved in granite
Watch it crack
Watch it pass
[Chorus]
I rise from ash and iron
Screaming out your name
You forged me just to break me
Now I melt your chains
You tried to be my kingdom
I burned down every throne
From ash and iron
I’m finally my own
[Bridge]
I am the fracture
You didn’t foresee
The fracture
The fissure
That sets me free
I am the fault line
Under your feet
Count every tremor
As my heartbeat (hey!)
[Chorus]
I rise from ash and iron
Screaming out your name
You forged me just to break me
Now I melt your chains
You tried to be my kingdom
I burned down every throne
From ash and iron
I’m finally my own

metal, Modern metalcore with down-tuned guitars, blast-and-groove drums, and male vocals that shift between guttural screams and soaring melodic hooks. Verses stay tight and palm-muted, pre-chorus drops to half-time tension, and the chorus explodes with wide stereo guitars, layered harmonies, and a roaring lead line. Occasional dissonant synth pads add atmosphere beneath a crushing, upfront mix.
