Ironbound to the Earth

Verse

Blood runs thick in the blackest night

Every storm I've faced was a fight

I built this tower on iron and flame

Nothing burns me but never breaks my name

The weight of the world is nothing compared to this pain

I hold it close like a fire you can't erase

My hands are worn from hammer and steel

But every scar tells a story I'll keep for real

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that tremor beneath your feet?

Something ancient is rising to meet us at the gate

Chorus

I'm ironbound to this earth, my bones won't bend

The gods can come with all their lightning and wrath again

Every earthquake that hits me only makes me strong

This ground I stand on is where the fire belongs

Verse

Ash falls thick across the frozen plain

Something ancient stirs beneath the strain

I was forged in every storm we've faced

Not by a hammer, but by a burning blaze

My chest is carved from granite and stone

Nothing can crack what's built to be my own

The mountain trembles when it hears me come near

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that tremor beneath your feet?

Something ancient is rising to meet us at the gate

Chorus

I'm ironbound to this earth, my bones won't bend

The gods can come with all their lightning and wrath again

Every earthquake that hits me only makes me strong

This ground I stand on is where the fire belongs

Bridge

Not a god's favor, not a king's decree

Just the weight of every promise I've made to be

I don't ask for mercy when the skies turn black

Only what it takes to leave my mark upon this track

Chorus

I'm ironbound to this earth, my bones won't bend

The gods can come with all their lightning and wrath again

Every earthquake that hits me only makes me strong

This ground I stand on is where the fire belongs
