Iceborne Dawn (version 2)

Verse 1

Frost bites through the broken steel

Iron shadows on the wall

Bare chest, a burning drum

Ribs against my shoulder bone

Snowflakes fall like silver dust

Bones that ache, but won't break

Every heartbeat is a vow

Nothing here will let me go

Hold this moment in the light

Let it stay until the dawn

Horns are blowing, dark and slow

Sweat and fire, we don't know

This is what they gave to men

We hold each other through the night

The ice is quiet as a grave

But inside I feel alive

Cold wind cuts against my teeth

I am not one who flees

Hold this moment in the light

Let it stay until the dawn

The drums are speaking, dark and slow

This is where we come to go

This is what they gave to men

Holding on till morning rise

Then let's face the rising sun

Bury all that made me weak

Rise with iron through my bones

Hold this moment in the light

Let it stay until the dawn

So let the fire burn our fears

I won't leave a single tear

Hold the weight upon my back

This is where I come alive

So hold this moment, don't release

It's what keeps us, stone to stone

It's what breaks inside of me

Bury all that made me weak

Rise with iron through my bones

Hold this moment in the light

Let it stay until the dawn

Chorus

I am not one who flees

Holding on till morning rise

This is where we come to go

Bury all that made me weak

Hold this moment, don't release

It's what keeps us, stone to stone

So hold the fire and let it burn

And watch the sunrise with a burning heart

Verse 2

Iron shadows on the wall

Ribs against my shoulder bone

Snowflakes fall like silver dust

Cold wind cuts against my teeth

Every heartbeat is a vow

Bones that ache, but won't break

Nothing here will let me go

The drums are speaking, dark and slow

This is where we come to go

Horns are blowing, cold and grey

Sweat and fire, we don't know

But inside I feel alive

Then let's face the rising sun

Bury all that made me weak

Rise with iron through my bones

So hold this moment in the light

Let it stay until the dawn

I won't leave a single tear

Hold the weight upon my back

This is where I come alive

Cold ice, but my soul's awake

Nothing here will break the chain

Ice is quiet as a grave

But inside we're burning like flames

Bury all that made me weak

Rise with iron through my bones

So hold this moment in the light

Let it stay until the dawn

Chorus

I am not one who flees

Holding on till morning rise

This is where we come to go

Bury all that made me weak

Hold this moment, don't release

It's what keeps us, stone to stone

So hold the fire and let it burn

And watch the sunrise with a burning heart

Outro

Hold this moment in the light

Let it stay until the dawn

Horns are silent now

But I am not gone
