Iron Tide at Dawn (Version 2)

Verse

Iron grey light through the loading door

Cinder on my collarbone, I want more

The wire hums where the speakers used to be

Static breathing like it's part of me

Concrete cracked beneath my boots tonight

Every face a stranger in the amber light

I lost myself at three and found a name

Under the iron tide

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it pulling, floor to spine

Something ancient rising with the line

Not a crowd, not a room — it's one long vein

Running black beneath the steel again

Chorus

Iron tide at dawn

Rising through the wire

Iron tide at dawn

I don't exist anymore — I'm fire

Burning off the skin that ever held my name

Nothing left but current, nothing left to blame

Verse

Cold water dripping from the rafters down

Smoke goes silver where the yellow comes up

Someone's hand finds mine in the strobe-cut dark

Together we're a heartbeat, neither of us mark

The bassline splits like a gate swings wide

Something ancient walks through on the tide

I feel it climbing past my ribs and throat

This isn't dancing — this is how I float

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it pulling, floor to spine

Something ancient rising with the line

Not a crowd, not a room — it's one long vein

Running black beneath the steel again

Chorus

Iron tide at dawn

Rising through the wire

Iron tide at dawn

I don't exist anymore — I'm fire

Burning off the skin that ever held my name

Nothing left but current, nothing left to blame

Bridge

Not a body now, not a face

Just static holding up its place

No hands could grasp what's climbing through

The iron tide was always me, too

Chorus

Iron tide at dawn

Rising through the wire

Iron tide at dawn

I don't exist anymore — I'm fire

Burning off the skin that ever held my name

Nothing left but current, nothing left to blame
