Tides in the Iron 2

Verse

Salt on the wind, smoke in my throat

The iron gate holds what we brought

Steel sky breaking through the haze

Every step wears down the days

Crown of rust where the sun comes up

Hands that held it now give it up

No name left to call mine own

Only the tide and a borrowed throne

Pre-Chorus

Let go, let go

Feel the iron slow

Tides in the iron, take us down

Wash the crown into the sound

Chorus

Tides in the iron

Crush the crown on the stone

Nothing left to hold

We are the tide alone

Tides in the iron

Break the walls, break the name

No hand left to claim

Only the current and flame

Verse 2

Palm trees shiver, salt on my skin

Iron's warm where the sun comes in

Empty pocket, no proof of me

Every wave wears down what I used to be

Sirens fade into the hum

The gate turns silver, the tide becomes one

Nothing left to build with stone

Just the pull and a drifting tone

Pre-Chorus

Let go, let go

Feel the iron slow

Tides in the iron, take us down

Wash the crown into the sound

Chorus

Tides in the iron

Crush the crown on the stone

Nothing left to hold

We are the tide alone

Tides in the iron

Break the walls, break the name

No hand left to claim

Only the current and flame

Bridge

Underneath it all we rise as one

No names here beneath the gold of noon

The crown was never mine to keep

Only to feel the way the iron sleeps

Nothing lost that didn't need a name

Just salt air, just rising rain

Outro

Tides in the iron

We are the tide alone
