Intro
Verse 1
Welding sparks in the shadowed halls,
Echoes of the furnace call,
Rivets and the sweat we gave,
Memories etched in every grave.
Catwalks cold, the red lights fade,
Molten rivers where we stayed,
Hands that shaped the steel so true,
Now the blast is breaking through.
Pre Chorus
One last time, I walk these beams,
Feels like a dream, the silence screams.
Chorus
"Last light on the stacks, I won't back down,
Through the smoke and ash, I wear my crown.
Heart of iron, soul of flame,
In the end, we keep our name."
Verse 2
Dust and rust, the sirens slow,
Faces of the ones we know,
Ghosts that roam these corridors,
Whisper tales of days before.
Punch the clock, the final shift,
In the dark, the echoes lift,
Hope and pride, we held them close,
In the quiet, we find the most.
Pre Chorus
One last time, the sirens wail,
In the silence, I won't fail.
Chorus
"Last light on the stacks, I won't back down,
Through the smoke and ash, I wear my crown.
Heart of iron, soul of flame,
In the end, we keep our name."
(guitar weeps, a solitary cry,
notes bending, a soul set free,
the furnace cools, the dream remains)
Bridge
In the glow, the shadows dance,
Memories of a last chance,
Voices of the past we hear,
In the stillness, they draw near.
Solo
Chorus
"Last light on the stacks, I won't back down,
Through the smoke and ash, I wear my crown.
Heart of iron, soul of flame,
In the end, we keep our name."
(hold the note, let it soar,
a final echo, a closing door)
Outro
(arpeggios fade, the boombox hums,
a distant siren, the silence comes)
