[Intro]
Smoke in the vents, sirens in the distance
Pulse of neon, heartbeat of resistance
[Verse 1]
Under clawing lights, the chrome floor shines like a blade
Hollow eyes in the crowd, they root for the raised fist I made
Shadows zip and flicker as the night learns our name
We move like gears, grinding doubt into the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
Breath like ice, nerves on edge, I hear the metal sing
Crowds tighten, rumors spill of a reckoning
[Chorus]
We punch through the dark, steel and sparks in our veins
Torn banners rise as the city wakes from chains
No velvet softening the risk we embrace
This is our grit, this is our revolt in steel-gray space
[Verse 2]
Tampered rain hisses on the vents, a storm inside my chest
Every step a chisel strike, shaping futures from the unrest
Rusted statues whisper warnings, but we refuse to kneel
Rattle of boots on grated floors, a chorus raw and real
[Pre-Chorus]
Dry lips taste of thunder, eyes glare through the ash
The line in the dust blurs between future and clash
[Chorus]
We punch through the dark, steel and sparks in our veins
Torn banners rise as the city wakes from chains
No velvet softening the risk we embrace
This is our grit, this is our revolt in steel-gray space
[Bridge]
If they push us close to the edge, we lean into the flame
A chorus of rivets, a vow that cannot be tame
[Chorus]
We punch through the dark, steel and sparks in our veins
Torn banners rise as the city wakes from chains
No velvet softening the risk we embrace
This is our grit, this is our revolt in steel-gray space
[Outro]
The night holds witness as the metal becomes truth
We walk through the fallout, heads high, unbound from the booth
