Iron Crown 40

Verse 1

Concrete crown on a steel street rail

Skateboard wheels humming past the hail

Bassline shakes the empty parking lot

Nobody here is scared of nothing yet

Rust belt skyline burning orange gold

Twelve years old with a hunger to hold

Chain link fence, the city holds its breath

Every kid here has a will to death

Pre-Chorus

Who's gonna light up this whole block tonight?

Who's gonna make the engine catch fire right now?

Chorus

This is where we put our names in steel and stone

Burning brighter than the neon glow alone

Nobody's leaving till the morning comes home

We are the ones who built an iron crown

Verse 2

Cement pipe graffiti, your name still wet

Fireworks popping on a broken street

Momma works three jobs just to keep the lights on

We ain't waiting for a handout, we fight on

Chain link shadow when the sirens roll by

Duck down quick and watch the whole sky turn crimson red

Corner store neon buzzing through the glass

Every heartbeat answering every single blast

Pre-Chorus

Who's gonna light up this whole block tonight?

Who's gonna make the engine catch fire right now?

Chorus

This is where we put our names in steel and stone

Burning brighter than the neon glow alone

Nobody's leaving till the morning comes home

We are the ones who built an iron crown

Bridge

Someday it won't be just streetlights and steel

Someday this whole town will feel like how we feel now

But right here, right now, the fire's in our chest

No matter what they say, we still believe in best

Chorus

This is where we put our names in steel and stone

Burning brighter than the neon glow alone

Nobody's leaving till the morning comes home

We are the ones who built an iron crown
