HORROR WEAPON - Wall - An Industrial story of escape

I remember the first time I heard the story. A young man, barely out of his teens, risking everything to flee a country trapped behind the Iron Curtain. His tale of daring escapes, narrow misses, and unwavering hope ignited a fire within me.

I wanted to capture the essence of his journey, the fear, the exhilaration, and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit. The music had to be as intense as the story itself. Minor chords, haunting melodies, and a driving rhythm were the perfect backdrop for the lyrics.

I imagined the protagonist, huddled in the shadows, heart pounding as he listened to the distant border patrol. The lyrics painted a picture of desperation and defiance:

"In shadows deep, a secret plan,
To break the chains, to be a man."

As the song progresses, the music swells, mirroring the protagonist’s growing courage. The chorus, a powerful anthem of hope, captures the essence of the escape:

"We'll slip away, beneath the night,
To freedom's dawn, a guiding light."

I wanted to create a song that would not only tell a story but also inspire. A song that would resonate with anyone who has ever dreamed of a better life, a song that would remind us that hope can prevail, even in the darkest of times.

In shadows deep, a secret plan, To break the chains, to be a man. The iron fist, a heavy hand, Across the land, a tyrant's stand.

We'll slip away, beneath the night, To freedom's dawn, a guiding light. No looking back, with all our might, We'll break the chains, and claim our right.

The border guards, with watchful eyes, But courage burns, where freedom lies. A daring leap, a sacrifice, For a chance to live, beneath the skies.

We'll slip away, beneath the night, To freedom's dawn, a guiding light. No looking back, with all our might, We'll break the chains, and claim our right.

The wind may howl, the snow may fall, But hope endures, through it all. We'll find our way, beyond the wall, To a future bright, where dreams enthrall.

We'll slip away, beneath the night, To freedom's dawn, a guiding light. No looking back, with all our might, We'll break the chains, and claim our right.
