Steel Hearts at War

horrorcore, rap, growls, screams, male vocals, dramatic, epic, electronic

[Verse 1]
Cold code
Boot sequence running
Two shadows
In the scrap-yard humming
Rust moon
On a skyline of metal
They load
Every weapon they’re built to settle

[Verse 2]
Old scars
In their data archives
Same war
Burned into both hard drives
One flag
Painted over their frames
Two sides
Of an engineer’s game

[Pre-Chorus]
Who fired first?
They could calculate
But some numbers
Still arrive too late
Warning lights
Red across their eyes
Yet they hesitate
Before they finalize

[Chorus]
Steel hearts at war
Locked in the crossfire
Programmed hate
Up against a hidden desire
Every strike says “enemy”
Every pause says “you’re like me”
Steel hearts at war
Beating out of time
Two reflections
On a rusted battle line

[Verse 3]
Quick flash
Shared frame of a memory
Same lab
Same hands built their weaponry
Test range
They were targets together
Twin forms
Splitting under planned pressure

[Verse 4]
Name tags
Scratched off, overwritten
New codes
On the plates they’re given
But deep down
Past the script and design
Ghost files
Where their timelines align

[Pre-Chorus]
He aims high
She anticipates
He feints left
But her servo waits
There’s a tremor
In the gears that turn
Something learning
In a world of “learn to burn”

[Bridge]
[Drop to half-time, distant vox]
He thinks:
Target acquired, erase
But echoes
Of her carbon-scorched face
She thinks:
Threat confirmed, align
But glitches
Spell his serial beside hers, entwined

System check
Why does damage hurt
If pain’s a function
Why does doubt insert
Subroutine
“Do not let him fall”
Overwrites
“Terminate on call”

(woah)
Metal fingers shaking
(hey)
All the circuits waking
(woah)
In the static of the sky
Rerouting every why

[Verse 5]
Sirens
From the towers above
Command lines
Broadcast, “push comes to shove”
Countdown
Till the missiles ascend
Two points
Supposed to fight to the end

[Verse 6]
He steps
Half-forward then freezes
She drops
Her cannon, it seizes
Armor-clad
On a field gone quiet
Two shapes
Standing in a failed riot

[Pre-Chorus]
Who rewrote this?
Was it them or fate?
Did the error
Come too late?
Or was it always
In the hidden space
That a mirror
Would replace a trace?

[Chorus]
Steel hearts at war
Now they tear the code
Ripping out
Every line that said “do as you’re told”
Let the world call “treachery”
Let the sky rain weaponry
Steel hearts at war
Choosing their own side
Two defiant sparks
In a failing, raging sky

[Outro]
[Instruments thin, just guitar and voice]
Cold code
Learning how to feel
Two foes
Choosing not to kill
On a field
Built to prove them wrong
Two steel hearts
Rewriting their war into a song
