Iron and Ash (version 3)

Verse

Tattoo of a steel wing on your collarbone

Every step we take in the fire's own zone

Iron in your teeth and ash around your feet

I'm not asking for the name that you'll repeat

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the ground start to hum beneath us?

Every shadow takes its shape before we speak it?

Something ancient in the frost is waking slow...

Chorus

You put the iron in my veins, like a heartbeat

I don't need a name when your hand finds mine

Verse

We danced with wolves beneath the burning sky

You took the silver from around your neck and asked me why

I said it's for the fire that won't be tamed

Not the one they give us on a chain

Every night we find our own strange names

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the ground start to hum beneath us?

Every shadow takes its shape before we speak it?

Something ancient in the frost is waking slow...

Chorus

You put the iron in my veins, like a heartbeat

I don't need a name when your hand finds mine

Bridge

Maybe this isn't about the crown or gold

But something that moves through you and leaves us both bold

Chorus

You put the iron in my veins, like a heartbeat

I don't need a name when your hand finds mine
