Steel Crown Ascension (version 2)

Verse

Hands up, steel against my palm

Iron crown locked into the calm

Two hundred chests breathing one line

Static pulling through your spine

Sweat runs silver down the rail

Kick drum wears a king's own trail

Nothing here is meant to break

Every muscle swears this stake

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising, feel it climb

Ribs against ribs in the same time

Crown won't fall till the morning light

Hold on through the dark of night

Chorus

Steel crown, we don't let go

One heartbeat where the iron glows

Floor's still shaking when the last chord dies

Steel crown and we rise

Steel crown, we don't break

Every hand up till the lights come back

Verse 2

Tarmac dust on your collarbone

Sub bass rattling every rib of stone

Your wrist against mine holds the floor

Crown keeps humming through the door

Five a.m. and the strobes collapse

Bodies keep that last machine's call

Nothing here was built to fall

Every pulse still hears it all

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising, feel it climb

Ribs against ribs in the same time

Crown won't fall till the morning light

Hold on through the dark of night

Chorus

Steel crown, we don't let go

One heartbeat where the iron glows

Floor's still shaking when the last chord dies

Steel crown and we rise

Steel crown, we don't break

Every hand up till the lights come back

Bridge

Sirens outside but we don't hear them now

Just your chest against mine, holding the howl

Crowd turns gold where the black used to be

This is ours before it's free

Chorus

Steel crown, we don't let go

One heartbeat where the iron glows

Floor's still shaking when the last chord dies

Steel crown and we rise

Steel crown, we don't break

Every hand up till the lights come back
