Scrap Metal (Rust Fan Made Song) Country ver.
Genres: Post-Apocalyptic Blues-Rock, Grit-Folk, Industrial Stomp Vibe/Lore & Singer Description: This track feels like sitting by a dying campfire made of reclaimed tires and broken pallets, with the smell of salt spray and gunpowder in the air. It opens with the rhythmic, hollow thud of a metal pipe hitting an empty oil drum, joined by a weary, slide-guitar melody that sounds like it’s weeping. The singer is a gravel-voiced wanderer, a weathered baritone who sounds like he’s smoked a thousand packs of low-tier cigarettes and survived a dozen raids, delivering lines with a mix of exhaustion and a "nothing-left-to-lose" defiance.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Waking up on the cold sand with a rock in my palm
The island is breathing with a terrifying calm
Copper wires stripped from the walls of the shack
Wondering if the neighbors are ever coming back
Build it up high with the wood and the stone
Sitting in a tower and I’m feeling all alone
Can hear the hammer hitting on the sheet metal plate
Checking on the lock and the latch on the gate
(Chorus)
Scraping for the fragments in the middle of the night
Feeding on the hunger and the flicker of the light
The furnace is burning with a low orange glow
Watching for the shadows in the bushes down low
From the primitive spear to the semi-auto kick
Everything is fragile and the air is getting thick
Radiation humming in the hollow of the bone
Just another king on a rusted-out throne
(Verse 2)
Sulfur on my fingers and the charcoal in a bag
Waving at the airplane with a dirty white flag
Airdrop is falling like a star from the sky
Nobody is asking for the reason or the why
Honeycomb walls and a garage door click
The plan for the raid is a dirty little trick
Sleeping in the dirt while the turrets start to hum
Waiting for the morning when the heavy hitters come
(Bridge)
Recycle the components in the middle of the town
Watching as the monuments are slowly falling down
Oil on the water and the smoke in the trees
Praying for a moment for a little bit of ease
Sharpen the blade on a piece of a wheel
(Chorus)
Scraping for the fragments in the middle of the night
Feeding on the hunger and the flicker of the light
The furnace is burning with a low orange glow
Watching for the shadows in the bushes down low
From the primitive spear to the semi-auto kick
Everything is fragile and the air is getting thick
Radiation humming in the hollow of the bone
Just another king on a rusted-out throne
(Outro)
Torchlight is dying in the gray morning mist
Cross another name off the scavenging list
Iron
Brittle iron
The island remains
