✨✨ [SSC8 Sample Challenge] ✨✨
--------------------------------
Description:
As steam erupts, the Iron Fortress awakens and begins to run.
Emotion accelerates like pressure—blurring as it nears, sharpening as it drifts away.
In a world that never stops, this distance is the only thing that truly exists.
蒸気が噴き上がる瞬間、アイアンフォートレスは目を覚まし、走り出す。
感情は圧力のまま加速し、近づけば揺らぎ、離れれば鋭く残る。
止まることのない世界で、この距離だけが確かに存在している。

Tik… tok… still breathing
Iron Fortress Train
Drop
Through soot-veiled halls I call
Rust and memory start to fall
Names dissolve inside the heat
Still alive beneath the beat
Turn the wheel or let it break
No return for what we take
Time engraves on iron bones
No rewind—just moving—on
Even if the past is gone
Still the train runs— Nonstop—on
Drop
Fragments trapped in rusted lines
Echoes loop through broken time
I don’t know what I became
Still I run without a name
Female
Your voice breaks in the steam
Memory dissolves mid-speed
Male
cut the line, don’t rewind
clock still eats what’s left behind
rust inside, still aligned
move ahead, no second time
name erased, still defined
running blind, still confined
no return, no design
just a loop that won’t unwind
Drop
Time engraves on iron bones
No rewind—just moving—on
Even if the past is gone
Still the train runs— Nnonstop—on
Iron Fortress Train…
Iron Fortress Train…

Lyric Japanese.
--------------------------------
Tik… tok… still breathing
Iron Fortress Train
Drop
煤に覆われた回廊で 俺は呼びかける
錆びと記憶が 剥がれ落ちていく
熱の中で 名前は溶けていく
それでもビートの下で まだ生きている
回すのか それとも壊すのか
選んだものに 戻り道はない
Time engraves on iron bones
No rewind—just moving—on
Even if the past is gone
Still the train runs— Nonstop—on
//鉄の骨に刻まれた時間
//巻き戻しはしない――ただ進むだけ
//過去が過ぎ去っても
//列車は止まることなく走り続ける
Drop
錆びついた軌道に 閉じ込められた断片
壊れた時間の中で 反響はループする
自分が何になったのかも分からない
それでも名もなく 走り続けている
Female
その声は蒸気の中で途切れていく
記憶は速度の中で 溶けていく
Male
ラインを断て 巻き戻すな
残されたものさえ 時計は喰い続ける
内側は錆びても まだ揃っている
前に進め 二度目はない
名前は消えても 定義だけは残る
盲目のまま 閉じ込められている
戻ることはない 設計もない
ほどけることのない ただのループ
Drop
Time engraves on iron bones
No rewind—just moving—on
Even if the past is gone
Still the train runs— Nonstop—on
//鉄の骨に刻まれた時間
//巻き戻しはしない――ただ進むだけ
//過去が過ぎ去っても
//列車は止まることなく走り続ける
Iron Fortress Train…
Iron Fortress Train…
