Don't Cross the Line

Описание: “Don’t Cross the Line” is a mid-tempo heavy metal anthem spoken in a calm, unwavering voice — the voice of a Steel Mother.

Born from real-world tragedies and unanswered questions, this song is not about rage or punishment.
It is a warning, a plea, and a responsibility passed from one generation to the next.

Every headline names another loss.
But before every act of violence, there was once a child — fragile, unseen, and unheard.

This song asks adults to stand where they are, to notice the cracks before they become flames, and to say the same words again and again:

Don’t cross the line.

Not as a threat.
Not as a scream.
But as a steady presence, spoken softly enough to be heard.

Musically, the track is built on restrained power:

deep contralto female vocals

spoken-like verses with breathing space

marching, grounded rhythms

an anthemic yet controlled chorus

slow-burning hope rising in the final key change

Cold steel on the outside.
Quiet fire within.

This is not a song about saving the whole world.
It is about protecting the ground beneath your feet —
before one step becomes irreversible.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Another day, the TV cries
Another name, another life
Faces blur, the numbers climb
I don’t know what I’m meant to feel inside

I used to scream, I used to ask
“How could someone go that far?”
Now the anger slowly fades
Just an empty room inside my heart

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Because even monsters once
Were held in gentle arms
Every killer was a child
Someone’s fragile, hopeful plan

Why, and how, and when it broke
Questions hit the floor
Thinking won’t revive the dead
No answers anymore

[Chorus 1]

Don’t cross the line…
I say it though some won’t hear
Somewhere tonight, trembling hands
Pull the trigger out of fear

But maybe those who keep these words
Alive inside their breath
Can stop the fall before it starts
Before one step means death

So cross the line…
Not toward rage, but toward the pain
Reach the hearts that stand alone
Before they cross that line again

[Verse 2]

You know it’s true, kids grow too fast
Whether watched or left alone
They drown in waves of endless noise
Before they know what’s right or wrong

Beliefs are built on borrowed truths
Echoes louder than their own
They act on faith that’s twisted thin
Thinking they’re on their own

[Pre-Chorus 2]

We’re supposed to be the ones
Who see the cracks before they break
But when we turn our eyes away
The ending writes itself in flames

Do we only wake up
When the fire’s at our door?
I don’t want to see those tears
After it’s too late anymore

[Chorus 2]

Don’t cross the line…
For the child you love so dear
Keep saying it, again and again
Soft enough that they can hear

Don’t hurt another soul
That’s the only truth they need
Say it gently, say it often
Plant it like a seed

So cross the line…
You’re the only parent here
Don’t be afraid to bleed yourself
So their future stays clear

[Bridge]

Maybe all of this sounds like a dream
Too clean, too kind for a world like this
We can’t save every hidden storm
Every quiet mind we miss

We can’t read every face
On a screen, across the land
But you know your neighbors
You know the ground where you stand

If something feels wrong from afar
If your chest tightens just a bit
Don’t play the hero, don’t step closer
Go back home — protect your kids

[Final Chorus]

Don’t cross the line…
That’s all we have to say
To every child, in every home
In the same small, gentle way

Hold them close, don’t let them fade
Don’t leave them all alone
Love is not a perfect shield
But it’s the strongest one we own

So cross the line…
Every adult, every time
Pour your care into their days
Before the dark can draw the line

No child is born to choose the wrong
They learn from what we show
If we stand firm, if we stay kind
They’ll find a way to grow
