Iron oath

[[Intro - Heavy riff, building tension]]

Verse 1

Forged in fire, born in pain

A soldier's promise never to refrain

Left his home with a vow to keep

Now the shadows haunt his sleep

Blood and bullets upon the ground

Brothers falling all around

He swore he'd bring them all back home

But now he walks this road alone

Pre-Chorus

The oath he made, the weight of chains

Carved in iron, burned in flames

Chorus

Iron oath! Can't break away!

Bound by honor, cursed to stay!

Iron oath! The price is paid!

In the darkness, debts are made!

IRON OATH!

Verse 2

Years have passed, the war is done

But the battle's never really won

Faces stare from every wall

The ones who answered duty's call

He carries names upon his back

Every soul that won't come back

The promise echoes in his mind

Some debts you never leave behind

Pre-Chorus

The oath he made still holds him tight

A prisoner of his own fight

Chorus

Iron oath! Can't break away!

Bound by honor, cursed to stay!

Iron oath! The price is paid!

In the darkness, debts are made!

IRON OATH!

[[Bridge - Tempo slows, heavy and crushing]]

"I swore I'd bring you home...

I swore on blood and bone...

But the reaper took his toll...

And I'm left here... alone..."

[[Guitar Solo - Aggressive, melodic, building intensity]]

[[Breakdown - Slow, heavy, crushing riffs]]

Rust and ruin

Flesh and bone

Every promise

Turns to stone

Can't escape it

Can't be free

The iron oath

Is killing me

Final Chorus - Full intensity

Iron oath! Can't break away!

Bound by honor, cursed to stay!

Iron oath! The price is paid!

In the darkness, debts are made!

Iron oath! Forever sworn!

In the fire, I was born!

Iron oath! Until I die!

A promise forged in time

IRON OATH!

Outro

"I remember... every name..."

IRON OATH!
