Steel in Our Veins (versione 2)

Verse

Steel on steel in the freezing rain

Two hundred hands on one long chain

Chain link ringing, pulse on the wire

Nobody here asks for fire

Black sky swallowing every light we brought

This is all that we were bought for

Chest against a stranger's chest

Iron dust settling soft and deep

Fists to the ceiling, lungs full of smoke

Chokehold on a broken rope

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it turning slow

Pulling us under the floor below

Chorus

Steel in our veins

Burning out the name

Rust and static

This is how we break apart

Verse 2

Copper wire wrapped around the bone

Static crawling up through the throat alone

Hands above the concrete sea

Nothing left but what you see

Cold wind biting at the skin

No room for the living in

Chain link shaking like a heartbeat

Crowd breathing heavy and slow

Iron pulling tight through the floor

Every anchor letting go

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it turning slow

Pulling us under the floor below

Chorus

Steel in our veins

Burning out the name

Rust and static

This is how we break apart

Bridge

Let it cut through

Let it pull us down to zero

Nothing left but iron and sound

Not a scream, not an echo, just one long chain pulling loose from the wall

No names on this concrete floor

Just steel and skin against the wire, nothing more

Chorus

Steel in our veins

Burning out the name

Rust and static

This is how we break apart
