Crown on a Steel Sledge (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Iron gates locked at midnight hour

Steel teeth bite into the floor

Pulse in my chest, no name to call

Concrete breathes, I feel it all

Shadows move where the light won't fall

Rust and chrome and a rising hum

Every step eats away what's been

I let go of everything that bends

Just weight and wire and iron crown

Cold wind howls through an empty street

Nothing left but what we meet

Steel floor turns to black and grey

We don't count the hours, we just stay

Heavy iron pulling down below

Piston heart keeps time with mine

No face in this dark, no sign

I only feel what the metal knows

Every breath is one more weight

Pushing through till there's nothing left

Only steel beneath my feet

Nothing soft and nothing warm

Just a crown of iron on the storm

I forget where the light would be

Crown pulls tight against the spine

Breathe in, let the pressure climb

Move until the current breaks

Grip it hard and never shake

This is how we take our turn

Hold still when the walls come down

Nothing else here but sound and stone

I feel it rise till my bones are one with steel

Let go of every name I used to keep

Steel teeth locked around a rising hum

Pre-Chorus

Something pulls me under every time

The iron holds until there's no line

No weight, no name, just iron crown

Moving till the dark comes down

I let it hold what I've been losing fast

Rust and chrome against my chest at last

Every heartbeat locked to this same floor

Nothing left that I need anymore

I only feel what the metal knows

This is how we take our turn

Hold still when the walls come down

Steel teeth locked around a rising hum

Chorus

Iron crown, pulling me under

Heavy pulse, no time for wonder

Crown of steel against my spine

Moving till the dark comes in

Let it hold what I've been losing fast

Rust and chrome against my chest at last

Every heartbeat locked to this same floor

Nothing left that I need anymore

I only feel what the metal knows

This is how we take our turn

Hold still when the walls come down

Steel teeth locked around a rising hum

Verse

Walls breathe in with every step

Crown pulls tight against the spine

No weight, no name, just iron crown

Moving till the dark comes down

Breathe in deep and let it climb

Floor keeps pulling me into its time

Shadows lock where the light won't fall

Cold wind howls through an empty street

Rust and chrome eating every seam

Nothing left but what we meet

Piston heart keeps time with mine

Steel floor turns to black and grey

Hold still when the walls come down

I only feel what the metal knows

This is how we take our turn

Pre-Chorus

Something pulls me under every time

The iron holds until there's no line

No weight, no name, just iron crown

Moving till the dark comes down

Let it hold what I've been losing fast

Rust and chrome against my chest at last

Every heartbeat locked to this same floor

Nothing left that I need anymore

I only feel what the metal knows

This is how we take our turn
