[Verse 1] Wake up in a cold blue light Pip-Boy buzzing on my arm All that I remember now Is a crib and an alarm Step out of that buried vault Dust and bones and broken steel Grab that rusted rifle, son Make this nightmare real
[Chorus] I'm the Iron General Stomping down this shattered road In my power armor That's my horse, that's my home Smashing gunners, raiders fall Ripping monsters, bring 'em all Round and round the Commonwealth The Iron General stands tall
[Verse 2] Diamond City on the dial But the Minutemen need a hand Preston waiting on that roof Flare gun burning in his hand Climb inside that metal suit Like a church made out of war One step shakes the rooftop dust Two steps, I’m through the door
[Chorus] I'm the Iron General Stomping down this shattered road In my power armor That's my horse, that's my home Smashing gunners, raiders fall Ripping monsters, bring 'em all Round and round the Commonwealth The Iron General stands tall
[Bridge] From the Castle to the glowing shore Every farm and rusted town If they light that green rag high I ain’t never turning down I lost one world to the bomb I won’t lose this one too Commonwealth upon my back And this steel will see it through
[Outro] I'm the Iron General Hear that metal boot ring true Round and round the Commonwealth ’Til the world starts over new
