Steel Vampire
folk, Old-school thrash assault: tight palm-muted riffing over galloping drums, gritty male vocals, dual-guitar harmonies in the bridge. Start with a tense clean acoustic intro, then slam into fast skank beats and chug-heavy downpicked verses. Half-time breakdown leads into a soaring melodic section, finishing with an all-out distorted drop outro and layered harmonized leads., harmony, thrash metal, acoustic, clean

Lyrics
Intro
Moon on rusted iron
Ash on broken fangs
Cold wind cuts the silence
Hungry armor hangs
Verse 1
Chains scrape stone
Coffin lid cracks
Rust-red eyes
Lock on the tracks
Teeth like steel
Old world rage
Sleeps all day
Stalks the stage (hey!)
Blood of kings
Boils inside
Hear that step
You cannot hide
Chorus
Steel vampire
Drinks the power from the wire in your veins
Steel vampire
Rips the armor from your faith and your chains
Steel vampire
When it bites you
You will beg for the flames
Steel vampire
Say its name
Say its name
Verse 2
Graveside dust
On armored boots
Iron-heart fiend
Rips out roots
Jaw clamps down
On fear and bone
Every scream
Becomes a throne
Night-time judge
Cold black crown
One sharp smile
World burns down (oh!)
Bridge
I see your halo
Bent into a ring of barbed steel
I see your prayers
Fall like teeth when the nightmare gets real
You run in circles
He walks a razor-straight line
Shadow behind you
Clock hand carving your spine
Half-Time Breakdown
Bite down
Feel the pressure climb
Bite down
Chew through faith and time
No light
Just the grinding jaw
This night
Writes a darker law
Chorus
Steel vampire
Drinks the power from the wire in your veins
Steel vampire
Rips the armor from your faith and your chains
Steel vampire
When it bites you
You will beg for the flames
Steel vampire
Say its name
Say its name
Outro
Step by step
On the skulls of the meek
Steel in his smile
And your future between his teeth
