[Intro (Instrumental)]
[Solo 1 (Instrumental)]
[Verse 1]
Ten years old with a broken dream
Daddy's ghost in the smoky scene
Playing songs in the cold night street
Chasing shadows feet by feet
[Verse 2]
Martin comes with a crooked grin
Sees the fire deep within
Promises fame sparkles in his eye
Hidden truth in every sigh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
He thought the stage would bring release
But every chord just fed the beast
Promises fade, the shadows grow
Trapped in a life he doesn't know
[Chorus 1]
Billy Rock rising to the top
Riffs and screams never gonna stop
Crowds roar fists high in the air
But a dark secret haunts the flair
[Chorus 2]
Billy Rock, living on the edge
Teetering on a razor's edge
A broken heart behind the fame
Just a pawn in a twisted game
[Solo 2 (Instrumental)]
[Verse 3]
Guitar strings and shattered past
Life in the fast lane ain't made to last
Behind the stage whispers of deceit
Lost dreams and bitter defeat
[Verse 4]
Fame's a serpent jagged and raw
Cuts you deep with its voracious claw
Martin's lies like poison in the vein
Twisting destiny in an endless chain
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Martin's grip, a vice so tight
Billy fights with all his might
But the dream's a cage, the walls close in
Can he escape or will he give in?
[Chorus 1]
Billy Rock rising to the top
Riffs and screams never gonna stop
Crowds roar fists high in the air
But a dark secret haunts the flair
[Chorus 2]
Billy Rock, living on the edge
Teetering on a razor's edge
A broken heart behind the fame
Just a pawn in a twisted game
[Bridge]
In those eyes the truth was sealed
Father’s death a wound not healed
Money flows in the devil’s hand
Billy’s dream built on sinking sand
[Solo 3 (Instrumental)]
[Chorus 1]
Billy Rock rising to the top
Riffs and screams never gonna stop
Crowds roar fists high in the air
But a dark secret haunts the flair
[Chorus 2]
Billy Rock, living on the edge
Teetering on a razor's edge
A broken heart behind the fame
Just a pawn in a twisted game
