Crown and Iron (version 2)

Verse

Iron floor beneath the boots that carry me

Grey light through the vents above us all

No name left standing when the bassline falls

Just the click of steel against my chest

Crowd is one thing moving in a frame

Nothing here remembers how to rest

Cold water dripping from the ceiling wire

Your shoulder finds mine, no words, just the drive

Pre-Chorus

Hands go up when the low end hits

Skin catches fire but we don't blink at it

Steel drum slamming like a gate unsealed

The room breathes in and nothing else is real

Chorus

Iron crown upon my head tonight

Every heartbeat locked into one stride

Tide of strangers pulling me aside

We move as one until the dark gives way

Crown and iron, we don't feel it fall

Bones keep time when reason calls

Verse 2

Sweat runs silver down a thousand backs

Your hand finds mine again through the black light stacks

Four on the floor and nothing in between

Just the click of heels and the pulse machine

Someone's crying behind a strobe-cut haze

Nobody remembers how to look away

Iron crown remains no matter where we go

Crown and iron, that's all we know

Pre-Chorus

Hands go up when the low end hits

Skin catches fire but we don't blink at it

Steel drum slamming like a gate unsealed

The room breathes in and nothing else is real

Chorus

Iron crown upon my head tonight

Every heartbeat locked into one stride

Tide of strangers pulling me aside

We move as one until the dark gives way

Crown and iron, we don't feel it fall

Bones keep time when reason calls

Bridge

No name left under what the light can show

Just a chest that beats with every stroke

The crowd forgets who came before

Steel stays warm beneath this endless roar

Your eyes lock mine across the strobe-cut floor

We move as one heartbeat, no more

Chorus

Iron crown upon my head tonight

Every heartbeat locked into one stride

Tide of strangers pulling me aside

We move as one until the dark gives way

Crown and iron, we don't feel it fall

Bones keep time when reason calls
