Iron Meridian (version 4)

Verse 1

Concrete sweating beneath our boots

Green beam cutting the tangled roots

One pure frequency through the spine

Left the clock and the door behind

Hands touch air and the air turns warm

Drifting into the center storm

Pre-Chorus

Rising, rising

Tension breaks on the wire

No more breath to hold

Turn the steel into gold

Chorus

Cross the iron meridian

Let the heavy give in, give in

Weightless over the concrete floor

I don't carry myself no more

Cross the iron meridian

Let the heavy give in, give in

Verse 2

Strobe flash freezing an open mouth

North pole melting into the south

Two thousand shadows move as one

Past the edge where the fears are gone

Every pulse is a clean slate now

Sweat like rain on a lifted brow

Pre-Chorus

Rising, rising

Tension breaks on the wire

No more breath to hold

Turn the steel into gold

Chorus

Cross the iron meridian

Let the heavy give in, give in

Weightless over the concrete floor

I don't carry myself no more

Cross the iron meridian

Let the heavy give in, give in

Bridge

Cut the anchor

Drop the stone

Nothing broken

Nothing owned

Just the hum of the open room

Golden thunder inside the bloom

Chorus

Cross the iron meridian

Let the heavy give in, give in

Weightless over the concrete floor

I don't carry myself no more

Cross the iron meridian

Let the heavy give in, give in
