A vocal-led Birmingham heavy-metal chapter in Vera Ashcroft's Iron Weather sequence, built around dawn enters slowly through the furnace doors.
[Verse 1]
Dawn enters slowly through the furnace doors.
Morning waits beyond the edge of every chord.
I keep my hands steady and listen for the change.
[Pre-Chorus]
We walk out marked by heat but answer to ourselves.
We carry only what can travel without harm.
[Chorus]
Dawn Through the Furnace, stay with me through the turning.
Dawn Through the Furnace, say the thing the dark could not erase.
Close the circle gently and begin again.
We will know the way by how the last word lands.
[Verse 2]
The hour moves forward, leaving room around the truth.
I meet it without hurry, without dressing it in gold.
What was only distance becomes a road beneath us.
What was only silence finds a voice and finds a home.
[Bridge]
No borrowed thunder, no convenient ending.
Only breath, only ground, only one clear name.
[Final Chorus]
Dawn Through the Furnace, stay with me through the turning.
Close the circle gently and begin again.
We will know the way by how the last word lands.
