Iron Crown of Dawn (Version 4)

Verse

Iron weight against the floor

Frost on my collarbone now

Hands go up to the cold light above

Counting seconds that are never enough

Sweat goes dry in the open space

Bassline gone but the drum stays behind

Shadows stretch across the wet stone

Nothing left but the rising tone

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it start to break apart?

The dark is leaving from the back of my heart

Chorus

Iron crown, we rise in the cold

Every heartbeat takes a toll on gold

Sun cuts through where the smoke used to be

I am not myself anymore, just light and me

Verse 2

Tide turns slow as the bassline fades out

Cold air hits and my ribs start to crack

Floor still humming but it's no longer loud

Something older is taking over the track

Bare feet on the concrete stair

Salt on your lips where the smoke used to be

Every door swings open, we're gone with the air

Not yours anymore, just mine now, me and the sea

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it start to break apart?

The dark is leaving from the back of my heart

Chorus

Iron crown, we rise in the cold

Every heartbeat takes a toll on gold

Sun cuts through where the smoke used to be

I am not myself anymore, just light and me

Bridge

No name left here, no face that I own

Only the weight of this rising dawn

The tide comes up past my ankles now

This is the only thing that still holds somehow

Chorus

Iron crown, we rise in the cold

Every heartbeat takes a toll on gold

Sun cuts through where the smoke used to be

I am not myself anymore, just light and me
