Steel City Priestess

[Intro – dark guitar, distant piano, heavy drums] Yeah... Every city got a ghost story. Every heart got a scar. Some people run from the fire... Some people become it. [Verse 1 – gritty storytelling rap] Born where the river cuts through the iron and stone Where the bridges stand tall and the lost find home Mama had dreams, daddy had a battle Raised in the thunder and the sound of the rattle She learned real young how the world could bite How to walk through the darkness carrying her own light No silver spoon, no easy road Just a heavy heart and a soul made gold She was a rebel with a reason, a fighter with grace A storm in her eyes and a smile on her face Everybody judged what they didn't understand Never saw the scars underneath her command [Pre-Chorus – melodic] She wasn't made to be saved She was made to survive Had a thousand reasons to break But a million to stay alive [Chorus – huge rap-rock hook] She's my Steel City Priestess Fire in her veins Walks through the ashes Dances in the rain She's my midnight angel My beautiful chaos queen The strongest soul I've ever known The toughest heart I've seen She don't need a crown She don't need a throne She built her kingdom From the battles she's known [Verse 2 – heavier flow] She ain't looking for a hero riding in to rescue She built her own armor from everything she went through People see the attitude, never see the pain Never see the sunshine after years of rain She knows every shortcut, every broken street Every place where the lost and the lonely meet But she keeps moving with her head held high A phoenix with a heartbeat refusing to die She ain't perfect, no, neither am I We got storms in our souls and lightning in our eyes But when the whole world turns cold and cruel She's the one reminding me I still got something to prove [Bridge – atmospheric breakdown] Under the bridge lights... Under the city sky... Two damaged souls... Refusing to die... The world tried to write her ending. She picked up the pen. [Verse 3 – rapid rap delivery] They wanted a victim, she became a legend Turned every scar into another weapon Turned every loss into another lesson Turned every curse into a blessing She ain't a story that somebody controls She's a wildfire burning through the cold A beautiful storm nobody can contain A tornado heart with a warrior's name [Final Chorus – full cinematic explosion] She's my Steel City Priestess Fire in her veins Walks through the ashes Dances in the rain She's my midnight angel My reason to believe The kind of love that makes a broken man Remember how to breathe No crown, no throne No kingdom made of gold Just two hearts standing together Against the world growing cold [Outro – guitar fades] Yeah... Some people find love. Some people find a legend.
