lyrics:

I can feel the rage filling my veins
It turns me inside out
Stuck your knife deep in my face
I love the pain I need this drought
Watch as the rivers run red
And my heads a mess
Started to let it out
Watch as I rise from the dead
You went for my head
The fire couldn't take me out

Half Empty, don't tempt me
You been looking for a reason to cut me up
You shank me, when I was in need
Smile on your face every time you lost my trust
She sat in the backseat, all night
Hand between her thighs as she tried to hide that knife
She said not to worry, baby
It might be a little pinch, but everything will be alright

Cut me up, cut me up show me my veins yeah
Throughout the night suicide is where my heads at
You took your fangs to my neck and now I'm out of breath
I took a chance with your love and I got too attached

I can feel the rage filling my veins
It turns me inside out
Stuck your knife deep in my face
I love the pain I need this drought
Watch as the rivers run red
And my heads a mess
Started to let it out
Watch as I rise from the dead
You went for my head
The fire couldn't take me out
I can feel the rage filling my veins
It turns me inside out
Stuck your knife deep in my face
I love the pain I need this drought
Watch as the rivers run red
And my heads a mess
Started to let it out
Watch as I rise from the dead
You went for my head
The fire couldn't take me out

Cut me up, cut me up show me my veins yeah
Throughout the night suicide is where my heads at
You took your fangs to my neck and now I'm out of breath
I took a chance with your love and I got too attached

"Iron Thunder" is a revolutionary, high-octane track that smashes the boundaries between genres. The song is a wild and aggressive heavy folk-metal fusion that combines the raw power of metal with the rustic, frantic energy of traditional folk instruments. It's a sonic statement of rebellion, a celebration of unconventional sound that’s both brutal and exhilarating.

The production is a chaotic and powerful symphony of unexpected instruments. The song explodes from the start with thunderous spoons, aggressive banjo riffs, and a screaming violin, all layered over a driving heavy drum beat. The accordion provides a menacing bass drone, giving the track a dark, foreboding edge. This is not a slow burn; it's a full-throttle sonic assault from the first beat. The verses are a lyrical declaration of this new genre, while the chorus is a relentless, anthemic hook designed for headbanging and a mosh pit. The instrumental breaks—featuring a rapid-fire spoons solo and a distorted banjo—are a highlight, showcasing the song's rebellious spirit and instrumental virtuosity.

This track is for listeners who are tired of the expected. It’s a battle cry for musical innovation, a bold experiment that proves that true heavy music can be found in the most unexpected places.
