[Intro — short heroic instrumental hook, mechanical suit-up sounds]
[Verse 1 — rhythmic clean vocals]
Built a bright machine
To outrun the past
Made of gold and steel
But it couldn’t last
Every warning light
Every choice I made
Now the sky is burning
And I won’t fade
[Pre-Chorus — rising vocals]
I made the spark
I’ll face the flame
No one else will
Take the blame
[Chorus — big melodic vocals]
Armor on! I’m taking flight
A human heart inside the light
I won’t run, I won’t stand by
I’ll be the shield against the sky
Armor on! The choice is mine
I’ll give it all to hold the line
[Breakdown — half-time, stop-start guitars]
[Extreme vocals]
NOT THE SUIT!
NOT THE NAME!
I’M THE MAN
WHO TAKES THE FLAME!
[Verse 2 — driving clean vocals]
I built a thousand doors
To keep the world outside
Now I see the cost
Of every place I hide
No perfect plan
No spotless past
Just one more chance
To make it last
[Pre-Chorus — rising vocals]
I made the spark
I’ll face the flame
No one else will
Take the blame
[Chorus — bigger, layered vocals]
Armor on! I’m taking flight
A human heart inside the light
I won’t run, I won’t stand by
I’ll be the shield against the sky
Armor on! The choice is mine
I’ll give it all to hold the line
[Bridge — stripped-back vocals, then build]
Take away the metal
Take away the name
What remains is someone
Who can choose again
[Final Breakdown — full-band impact]
[Extreme vocals]
POWER UP!
HOLD THE LINE!
THIS IS MY LIFE—
THIS IS MY TIME!
[Final Chorus — full band, triumphant]
Armor on! I’m taking flight
A human heart inside the light
I won’t run, I won’t stand by
I’ll be the shield against the sky
Armor on! The choice is mine
I’ll give it all to hold the line
[Outro — original heroic instrumental hook]
