About time, right? FROM Software got me again, and managed to make another stellar game with addictive combat. "Metal Won't Burn" attempts to Capture Armored Core 6's bleak and emotionless world, and reflects on a loss of humanity after being rebuilt so many times.

Lyrics:
The adversaries priming
Like wolves within the snow
A consciousness is dying
Too stubborn to let go
When the daylight comes for me
I see what I am
An alloyed extension
Of invisible hands
And yet I risk more than
The credits I earn
My soul is in ashes
But metal won't burn
The raven in the updraft
I soar on borrowed wings
With heart beneath the construct
A cobbled mess of strings
Red echoes in the fracture
Sing to my weary mind
Protected by the rapture
I'm one of my own kind
When the daylight comes for me
I see what I am
An alloyed extension
Of invisible hands
And yet I risk more than
The credits I earn
My soul is in ashes
But metal won't burn
Wrapped within a soulless shelter
I possess the dread of war
Is there still a peace to enter
Or are we guiding aimless cores
Visions of a flame keep burning
Broken but still not decayed
Fueled by the blaze awakened
Human eyes remain afraid
Sacrifice my embers
Forge me better form
Burn away remainders
I am flesh no more
No one has the answers
So we all burn what came before
For what the future has in store
When the daylight comes for me
I see what I am
An alloyed extension
Of invisible hands
And yet I risk more than
The credits I earn
My soul is in ashes
But metal won't burn
