lyrics
[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
