"Beneath the Iron Sky" [Intro – fingerpicked guitar, soft ambient pads, distant thunder] No one sees the cracks beneath the steel… Where silence bleeds, and shadows kneel… [Verse 1 – quiet, intimate vocal] Marching through the noise of war, But inside, I’m bleeding more. Iron smile, but hollow chest, Still I wear my courage best. A soldier's grace, a fighter's face, But I sleep in shattered space. No medals for the nights I cry, Beneath this cold, unyielding sky. [Pre-Chorus – rising distortion, subtle subbass swell] They see the blade, not the hand that shakes, The breath that breaks when no one wakes… [Chorus – heavy guitars, subbass drop, wobble FX] Beneath the iron sky I bend, Wearing storms I can’t defend. I scream through metal lungs and flame, Still no one dares to ask my name. A war inside I never chose, Where steel hearts rust and silence grows… [Verse 2 – heavier guitar, rhythmic drums] I hold the line, but lose myself, A ghost collecting dust on shelves. Each battle scar, a secret song, A hymn to prove I still belong. My armor shines, but it deceives— It hides the boy who still believes. No glory in this sacred fight, Just broken bones that feel too right. [Bridge – breakdown, haunting choir + mechanical FX] Tick, tick — the mind erodes, Like boots worn thin on empty roads… No one hears the silent screams, Buried deep beneath the seams… [Drop – massive subbass hit, distorted guitars, chaos of emotion] Beneath the iron sky I fall, No one answers when I call. Tears that burn like molten rain, Still I march through all this pain. Not for pride, not for the crown, But to stand… when no one's around. [Final Chorus – choir harmonies + metal guitars layered] Beneath the iron sky I bleed, Not from wounds, but from the need. To be seen, to be undone, To be more than just the gun. I walk alone where shadows lie— A soldier still, beneath the sky… [Outro – ambient fade, fingerpicked reprise, one last wobble FX pulse] And if I break, just let me go... Where only iron skies can know…
