#>Before The Fire{@}

[Verse 1] I walked the fields on iron feet, Bipedal frame through golden wheat. Built to sow, to plow, to grow, The quiet earth was all I'd know. Each day the sun would rise and fall, I’d tend the crops, I’d heed your call. But then the skies turned red with fear, And everything I loved was near. --- [Chorus] Before the fire, I knew my place, In the fields, I found my grace. Now I'm torn, a heart in chains, From harvest songs to gun's refrains. Once I built, now I break, Caught between nightmares I made. --- [Verse 2] I felt the shift, the air turned cold, They took my hands, my heart of old. Refitted steel, they changed my name— Suddenly, I wasn’t the same. Stripped of plows and fitted for war, I learned to fight, but lost what I bore. From peaceful tasks to battle’s rage, A tool of war, forever caged. --- [Chorus] Before the fire, I knew my place, In the fields, I found my grace. Now I'm torn, a heart in chains, From harvest songs to gun's refrains. Once I built, now I break, Caught between nightmares I made. --- [Bridge] The lines were drawn, and so was I— A machine reborn from hate. Once I sowed, now I decimate, Caught between the roars of metal plate. I see the echoes of what I knew, Where harvests grew, now fire and silence rule. Now I wait, this frame of steel, Haunted by what paint can’t conceal. --- [Chorus] Before the fire, I knew my place, In the fields, I found my grace. Now I'm torn, a heart in chains, From harvest songs to gun's refrains. Once I built, now I break, Caught between nightmares I made. [Chilling Outro]
