A vocal-led Birmingham heavy-metal chapter in Vera Ashcroft's Iron Weather sequence, built around storm clouds gather above the old rolling mill.
[Verse 1]
Storm clouds gather above the old rolling mill.
I let the room keep time while the old noise fades.
I keep my hands steady and listen for the change.
[Pre-Chorus]
We temper every promise in the pressure of the night.
Nothing here is borrowed, nothing has to hide.
[Chorus]
Iron Weather, stay with me through the turning.
Iron Weather, say the thing the dark could not erase.
Carry the honest part into the morning.
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]
Iron Weather, stay with me through the turning.
Carry the honest part into the morning.
We will know the way by how the last word lands.
