Iron Street Requiem (version 2)

Verse 1

Every face I see tonight is borrowed light

Streetlamp shadows where our names went blind

Ringing in my ears like all the sirens died

I'm chasing every step this floor can find

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it costs to lose myself here

Tell me how we turn the amber into fire

Something in the smoke is calling out for more

Let go, let go before the whole block turns grey

Every face I see tonight is borrowed light

Streetlamp shadows where our names went blind

Chorus

Iron Street Requiem

We're not burning down — this is how we rise

Bodies on the pavement, hands in the lights

Iron Street Requiem

We don't need a reason when the whole street ignites

Ringing in my ears like all the sirens died

Verse 2

Someone's crying silver by the alley wall

Someone's laughing gold before the curfew falls

I watch it ripple through the crowd, I know we're small

This is our anthem — this is how we rise at all

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it costs to lose myself here

Tell me how we turn the amber into fire

Something in the smoke is calling out for more

Let go, let go before the whole block turns grey

Every face I see tonight is borrowed light

Streetlamp shadows where our names went blind

Chorus

Iron Street Requiem

We're not burning down — this is how we rise

Bodies on the pavement, hands in the lights

Iron Street Requiem

We don't need a reason when the whole street ignites

Ringing in my ears like all the sirens died

Bridge

No names tonight — no yesterday

Just breath and static, just this gray

This is the moment before it breaks apart

Hold on to the heat in your chest — hold that tight, don't let go of this light

Chorus

Iron Street Requiem

We're not burning down — this is how we rise

Bodies on the pavement, hands in the lights

Iron Street Requiem

We don't need a reason when the whole street ignites

Ringing in my ears like all the sirens died
