Metal Won’t Burn

[Verse 1]
The adversaries priming
Like wolves within the snow
A consciousness is dying
Too stubborn to let go

[Chorus]
When the daylight comes for me
I see what I am
An alloyed extension
Of invisible hands
And yet I risk more than
The credits I earn
My soul is in ashes
But metal won't burn

[Verse 2]
The raven in the updraft
I soar on borrowed wings
With heart beneath the construct
A cobbled mess of strings
Red echoes in the fracture
Sing to my weary mind
Protected by the rapture
I’m one of my own kind

[Chorus]
When the daylight comes for me
I see what I am
An alloyed extension
Of invisible hands
And yet I risk more than
The credits I earn
My soul is in ashes
But metal won't burn

[Verse 3]
Wrapped within a soulless shelter
I possess the dread of war
Is there still a peace to enter
Or are we guiding aimless cores
Visions of a flame keep burning
Broken but still not decayed
Fueled by the blaze awakened
Human eyes remain afraid

[Verse 4]
Sacrifice my embers
Forge me better form
Burn away remainders
I am flesh no more
No one has the answers
So we all burn what came before
For what the future has in store

[Chorus]
When the daylight comes for me
I see what I am
An alloyed extension
Of invisible hands
And yet I risk more than
The credits I earn
My soul is in ashes
But metal won't burn
