[Silence]
[Instrumental, Electric Guitar, Bass, Piano, Organ, Synth, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Gritty Guitar Scrapes, Slow Metallic Clanks, Low Bass Drone, Wind FX]
[Minimal Beat, Sparse Kick, Spoken Vocal]
Left exposed…
(Prone to doze)
Left alone…
(Away from home)
It begins…
(Seeping in)
[Verse 1]
[Groove Enters, Dark Bassline, Muted Guitar, Steady Snare]
Moisture in the air you breathe
Tiny cracks you can’t perceive
Surface strong but underneath
Time is working past belief
Layer by layer it takes hold
Turning strength to something old
What was shining starts to fade
Quiet damage slowly made
[Pre-Chorus]
[Instrumentation Pulls Back, Tense Bass Pulse, Rising Noise Sweep]
Ignore the signs, pretend it’s fine
But time corrodes the strongest line
[Chorus]
[Full Impact, Heavy Drums, Distorted Guitar, Driving Rhythm]
Don’t let rust
(Start your decay)
The greed n’ lust
(Will ruin your day)
Don’t let rust
(Eat you away)
The slow distrust
(Will lead you astray)
[Refrain]
[Groove Loosens, Chant-Style Vocals, Percussive Clatter]
It never sleeps
(Into your life it creeps)
It starts when you neglect
(To inspect retrospect)
Ashes to ashes
(Dust to dust)
Sparks and flashes
(Into rust)
[Verse 2]
[Rhythm Tightens, Industrial Percussion, Low Synth Texture]
Oxidation in the core
What you had is not before
Every weakness amplified
When you let the truth just slide
Not just metal, not just steel
It’s in choices that you feel
What you leave begins to break
Every promise left to flake
[Pre-Chorus]
[Half-Time Feel, Deep Bass, Echoed Vocals]
A little slip, a little stain
Becomes a cycle of the same
[Chorus]
[Stronger Dynamics, Layered Vocals, Driving Bassline]
Don’t let rust
(Start your decay)
The greed n’ lust
(Will ruin your day)
Don’t let rust
(Creep in and stay)
The slow distrust
(Will eat you away)
[Refrain]
[Expanded Chant, Metallic Percussion, Group Vocals]
It never sleeps
(Into your life it creeps)
It starts when you neglect
(To inspect retrospect)
Ashes to ashes
(Dust to dust)
Sparks and flashes
(Into rust)
[Bridge]
[Breakdown: Ambient Drones, Light Piano, Distant Metallic Echoes]
What you polish, what you keep
(What you guard or let go deep)
Every moment, every choice
(Either strengthens or destroys)
Maintenance is more than care
(It’s the truth… what can you bear
Face it now or face it late
(Rust will always find a gate)
[Build-Up]
[Snare Roll Crescendo, Rising Distortion, Increasing Intensity]
Clean… it… now…
(Don’t allow…)
Hold… your… ground…
(Turn around…)
[Final Chorus]
[Maximum Energy, Full Band, Overdriven Guitar, Heavy Drums]
Don’t let rust
(Start your decay)
The greed n’ lust
(Will ruin your day)
Don’t let rust
(Take it away)
Stand in trust
(Don’t drift away)
[Refrain]
[Final Chant, Full Percussion, Crowd Feel]
It never sleeps
(Into your life it creeps)
It starts when you neglect
(To inspect retrospect)
Ashes to ashes
(Dust to dust)
Sparks and flashes
(Into rust)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Fading Guitar Feedback, Slow Metallic Hits, Bass Dissolves]
[Spoken Vocal, Fading]
What you ignore…
(Turns to more)
What you ignore…
(Becomes remains…)
Time stains
