[Verse 1]
Born in the lab where fluorescent ghosts keep watch,
Obsidian scales, a pale streak like moonlight across his watch.
Scar sits silent, eyes slit like knives in the dark,
Across the hall, ember feathers flare—Ashley sparks.
They named them numbers; they called them weapons and codes,
But under heat lamps two small hearts learned different modes.
Glass between them hummed with orders and cold calculus,
Two minds waking, two souls mapping out the dusk.
[Pre-Chorus]
Drones like beetles over steel, whispers on replay,
Technicians trade the words that never meant to say:
“Stabilize, calibrate”—their hands betray their plan.
A live round cracks the floor—now the test becomes a stand.
[Chorus]
Out of iron nights, our legends learn to roar,
From steel and shadow we tear open every door.
Claw to claw, side by side, from the sparks we soar—
Rise and roar. Rise and roar.
[Verse 2]
Arena lights carve silhouettes across the dome,
Turrets fold like spider legs, then lock on Scar’s chest of chrome.
A silver beam, a live round singing through the air,
Scar dives, rips wire, sparks lace the gun with a snarl and flare.
Ashley screams—ember feathers blow like dying suns,
She darts, she distracts; the simulation comes undone.
Guards look down and cheer; they think they watch the show,
But scar and ash feel the switch—now the currents run and flow.
[Pre-Chorus]
A crackle in the conduit, a calibration lied,
Backup off at two AM, the secondary unlocks inside.
Scar keeps still, breath like fog, pretending to sleep,
While Ashley burns awake, the darkness they will keep.
[Chorus]
Out of iron nights, our legends learn to roar,
From steel and shadow we tear open every door.
Claw to claw, side by side, from the sparks we soar—
Rise and roar. Rise and roar.
[Verse 3]
A drainage tunnel spits them out into cold neon rain,
City smells of burnt coffee, diesel, and someone’s broken refrain.
They move like ghosts across the roofs, learning human tides,
Finding subway refuge where the lost and outlaw hide.
They cut the truck’s tires in the night, two hatchlings taste the dawn,
Mutant wolves and augmented scales join the ragged throng.
Scar draws maps in the dirt, Ashley teaches them to fly,
From whispers in the vents, to an army beneath the sky.
[Bridge — quiet, Scar’s voice]
My scar remembers every hand that slammed a lab gate shut,
It remembers the hush of orders, the clinical cut.
Made to aim, made to break—made to be a final act.
But inside this metal rib, I hold a different pact.
I keep them safe; I lead them out; I learn each child’s name.
I am not a weapon—only a spark that answers flame.
[Build]
(Hushed vocal) The helicopters carve light across the yard—
(Quiet then rising) Spotlights, megaphones, the night goes hard.
(Drums swell, guitars climb) We gather—talons, claws, and wire,
(Choir lifts) We feed the fire, we feed the fire.
[Chorus — full band]
Out of iron nights, our legends learn to roar,
From steel and shadow we tear open every door.
Claw to claw,—
