Crown Of Iron (version 2)

Intro

Grey dawn, iron floor

Verse

Iron gates still warm from the night

Concrete holds what the light can't fight

My shadow moves where my name is not found

Only pulse left to keep me round

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climb up through the soles of my feet

The crown comes heavy, I feel it beneath my chest

Chorus

I wear the crown on an iron spine

Iron crown, hold till morning come

No name on it, just the weight and the time

Iron crown, the pulse is what has won

Verse 2

Steam off shoulders where the bass line broke

Salt like sweat but the salt's a smoke

Nobody speaks, nobody needs to now

The iron holds while the light comes through

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climb up through the soles of my feet

The crown comes heavy, I feel it beneath my chest

Chorus

I wear the crown on an iron spine

Iron crown, hold till morning come

No name on it, just the weight and the time

Iron crown, the pulse is what has won

Bridge

Let the daylight strip the chrome away

Still this frame holds the night's own sway

Nothing breaks when the iron stands still

This is where the real crowns are built

Chorus

I wear the crown on an iron spine

Iron crown, hold till morning come

No name on it, just the weight and the time

Iron crown, the pulse is what has won
