Iron Crown Ascending

Verse

Iron crown on the speaker stack

Welded shut where the current cracks

Sweat drips silver down your chin

Your hand finds mine and pulls me in

The floor tilts under our feet

Steel walls shaking to the beat

Every drop of blood turns gold

Skin remembers what the iron told

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through the wire?

Something ancient locked inside my spine tonight

Chorus

Iron crown ascending, rising through my veins

Static pulse and burning rain, we never break the chain

Hold the line till the ceiling breaks, hold the weight of the iron's sake

Every drop that falls turns gold where skin meets steel and takes

Verse 2

Thousand hands on the concrete floor

One pulse beats where every wrist is torn

The crown is burning overhead now

Sparks fall silver as we don't ask why

Every rivet holding what was lost

Becomes a key to something crossed

Your eyes cut through and I feel it climb

Every heartbeat locked in iron time

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through the wire?

Something ancient locked inside my spine tonight

Chorus

Iron crown ascending, rising through my veins

Static pulse and burning rain, we never break the chain

Hold the line till the ceiling breaks, hold the weight of the iron's sake

Every drop that falls turns gold where skin meets steel and takes

Bridge

Cut the chain but keep the spark alive

Carry what the crown will not survive

The metal cracks but it won't fall down

We rise through it like we rose in this town

No crown left on the speaker stack

Just your hand still locked on mine, no need to turn back

Every drop we lost turns into light

Now the iron knows how to ignite

Chorus

Iron crown ascending, rising through my veins

Static pulse and burning rain, we never break the chain

Hold the line till the ceiling breaks, hold the weight of the iron's sake

Every drop that falls turns gold where skin meets steel and takes
