Steel at Dawn

[Intro]
Armor clatters
Breath like smoke
Steel rings once
Omen spoke

[Verse 1]
Banners claw the crimson sky
Ash and thunder sting our eyes
Every heartbeat drums for war
Every scar remembers why
Name the vow you’d bleed to keep
Name the ground you’d never leave
Raise your shield and bite your fear
We draw the line right here

[Chorus]
Steel at dawn
We ride
Unbroken
Blades held high
Our oath is spoken
Through the fire
Through the fallen
Hear our roar
The storm we’ve chosen
Steel at dawn
The sky is burning
Strike as one
The tide is turning

[Verse 2]
War horns slice the morning air
Shattered helmets
Splintered prayer
If we fall
We fall as kings
Crowned in dirt and shattered mail
Clash of wills and crash of bone
Echo through the valley’s throat
If this day devours the sun
It chokes on every one

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Staggered breath
Blackened ground
We are dust
We are crown

[whispered vocals]
When your strength is a broken blade
Hold the handle anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
[crecendo]
Lift your voice
Ignite the sky
Let the fear inside you die
Every wound a blazing brand
Scar to scar we make our stand

[Chorus]

[Bridge – Key Change]
[guitar solo]
[cymbal swell
Choir builds]
Up from blood
From mud
From stone
Legends carve us into bone
Raise the call
The last command
Live or fall—but never bend

[Chorus]
