Iron Tide Rises (version 2)

Intro

Iron tide rises

Verse 1 – male vocal

Grey water washes past my ankle bone

Salt crust drying on a collar of stone

Hands unclench from a grip that won't hold

The current's moving faster than I'm told

Pre-Chorus – whispered

Can you feel the pull begin to climb?

Chorus – male vocal

Iron tide rises, iron tide swallows everything

I go under where the current carries me again

No hand up, no breath left

Down with the black water beneath

Verse 2 – male vocal

Rubble hills slide into the floodline

Shadows blur together like a thousand skins unseen

Every anchor breaks before it's time to find the shore

Something deeper than I ever knew was there

Pre-Chorus – whispered

Can you feel the pull begin to climb?

Chorus – male vocal

Iron tide rises, iron tide swallows everything

I go under where the current carries me again

No hand up, no breath left

Down with the black water beneath

Bridge – whispered

Not lost

not found yet either

Outro – male vocal

Under is quieter than the light above

The pull still holds and I don't ask why
