Frost and steel

Verse 1

Concrete towers pierce the winter sky

Frost etched on my shoulders where I've been by

Iron gates swing shut behind me still

I keep my breath, I keep my will

Rust along the hinges, ice in every seam

This is where they tried to break the dream

Steel and frost together hold the line

Not a single crack, not one single sign

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it burning through your bones?

Something breaking free before dawn comes.

Let me carry this into the snow.

Hold your breath like I do now.

Chorus

Frost and steel against the cold tonight

Burning in the dark, holding tight

Every window, every iron gate

I'll not let go till daylight breaks late

Frost and steel against the cold tonight

Burning in the dark, holding tight

Rust won't come for me now, I swear this out loud.

I am frozen where they tried to pound me down

Verse 2

Ice collects on every windowpane

Shadows on the wall like an old-fashioned frame

My breath makes fog against the glass that shines

Nothing can contain what still resides

Worn and rusted, dented at each seam

I've turned this into a shelter from the storm I've seen

Every crack becomes a scar I wear with pride

Frozen where they tried to melt me inside

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it burning through your bones?

Something breaking free before dawn comes.

Let me carry this into the snow.

Hold your breath like I do now.

Chorus

Frost and steel against the cold tonight

Burning in the dark, holding tight

Every window, every iron gate

I'll not let go till daylight breaks late

Frost and steel against the cold tonight

Burning in the dark, holding tight

Rust won't come for me now, I swear this out loud.

I am frozen where they tried to pound me down

Bridge

So here it stays then - frost, steel, and blood

This is how you turn your darkness into good.

No more melting. No more rust.

Just ice and iron, nothing less.
