As Raw, So Below · Single II
Skin to Iron
Blackened Thrash Metal · 121 BPM · B Minor
The second stage of the descent begun in Awakening in Ashes.
The punishment becomes physical as flesh, bone and identity
are gradually transformed into iron.
Skin to Iron marks the transition from suffering into
metamorphosis, pushing the protagonist further away from
humanity and deeper into the world of As Raw, So Below.
Lyrics
Skin to Iron
Awake in ashes, the torment begins
The flames of the abyss are stripping my skin
No room for mercy, no angels to save
My flesh is melting inside this grave!
The agony grows, the marrow decays
Screaming in the dark, amidst eternal blazes
Losing humanity, feeling the cold...
THE IRON EMERGES FROM DEEP IN MY SOUL!
SKIN TO IRON!
Hardened by hellfire!
SKIN TO IRON!
AS RAW, SO BELOW!
SKIN TO IRON!
I can't believe it
SKIN TO IRON!
AS RAW, SO BELOW!
Nerves made of wire, bones fused with steel
This infernal punishment is all that I feel
No longer a man, a vessel of hate
Crawling the pit to embrace my new fate!
The agony grows, the marrow decays
Screaming in the dark, amidst eternal blazes
Losing humanity, feeling the cold...
THE IRON EMERGES FROM DEEP IN MY SOUL!
SKIN TO IRON!
Hardened by hellfire!
SKIN TO IRON!
AS RAW, SO BELOW!
SKIN TO IRON!
I can't believe it
SKIN TO IRON!
AS RAW, SO BELOW!
The flesh is gone...
Only the armor remains.
Ready for the mirror...
