[Verse 1] Ash on the wind Green fire in the sand They said that cursed horizon Would swallow any man Old tales of a hunger Bones rattling in the fog They named it the Wendigo Stalking through the bog
[Chorus] Steel in the Glowing Sea One lone shadow where the world broke free Boots in the dust, heart on his sleeve He said, "This land’s still ours to keep" Gun hand steady, fear run deep Steel in the Glowing Sea
[Verse 2] Rust on the billboards Ghost towns split in half He walked past melted highways Heard that thing’s low, broken laugh Teeth like broken bottle glass Eyes like burning coal It tasted fear for centuries Tonight it found a soul
[Chorus]
[Bridge] It leapt from a twisted tanker Claws scraping on his chest plate He felt every ancient whisper "Turn back, boy, it’s too late" But he burned through the rad-thick darkness Like a sunrise off old steel Dropped that beast into the crater Till the ground forgot its squeal
[Chorus]
A zene stílusa
country, Country ballad with melodic heroic arc; warm acoustic guitar and steady brushed kit at first, then big soaring chorus with pedal steel, mandolin, and male vocals. Verses stay intimate and storytelling, chorus opens wide with stacked harmonies and a strong, anthemic bass line. Fiddle doubles the vocal on key phrases, final chorus pushes full-band energy with ringing chords and long reverb tail.
