Iron Tide 9

Verse

Iron dust on my boots, the floor still moves

Cold sweat running down where the strobe cuts through

Hands go up to meet the first thin blade of light

Floor don't stop till the dark gives in to white

Speakers hiss like metal waking from a sleep

Kick drum pounding out what's left to keep

I'm not tired, I'm just finding my own pace

Iron tide is rising, taking every empty space

Pre-Chorus

Skyline breaking gold behind the wire mesh door

Something in me answers when it knocks once more

Feet won't stop until the room goes white and bright

This is how we win this endless, underground fight

Chorus

Iron tide rising, pushing through my chest

Every beat is thunder, every breath a quest

Hands to the ceiling like a signal through the grey

I'm not leaving till the sun decides what day to be

Verse

Concrete floor still warm from bodies gone

Smoke machine coughing out one final song

My shadow on the wall keeps time with mine

Nothing left to lose when the dark starts to unwind

Black turns lavender where the windows let it in

I don't feel my legs but I keep them moving again

This is the minute I was made for, born for this place

Steel and gold and static meeting face to face

Pre-Chorus

Skyline breaking gold behind the wire mesh door

Something in me answers when it knocks once more

Feet won't stop until the room goes white and bright

This is how we win this endless, underground fight

Chorus

Iron tide rising, pushing through my chest

Every beat is thunder, every breath a quest

Hands to the ceiling like a signal through the grey

I'm not leaving till the sun decides what day to be

Bridge

No sleep, no exit, just this heavy hum

Nothing left of me that isn't made from iron and light

Let it wash me clean so I can face whatever's next

This is how I earn my place in something more than myself

Chorus

Iron tide rising, pushing through my chest

Every beat is thunder, every breath a quest

Hands to the ceiling like a signal through the grey

I'm not leaving till the sun decides what day to be
