Iron Skyline Rising (versione 3)

Verse 1

Rusty sign above the broken wheel on Fjordgata

Skullcap turned to beanie, axe handle made of steel

You're the one who swept my sister off the icy curb before midnight

The old guard spat on our bloodline like it's a debt unpaid

Said we came from nothing — not a word he'll ever say aloud

I learned how to carry both the weight and the flame

Every fence I climbed was someone else's yard, somebody's shame

Nineteen winters, no one handed me a map or a name

Built my own streetlamp with whatever scraps could burn bright

Now they talk about the 'comer' like it's something I wore last week

Like coming up is just something you do until you forget

I'm the one still standing when the ice cracks, when the current changes

I built this whole block on nothing but the way we rearrange what's left — every handout was a question mark, every promise unpaid

Pre-Chorus

They don't know how to read us yet — they just know we're moving fast

Every new window in Fjordgata means a family stayed

Chorus

Iron skyline rising where the old guard used to stand

Cinder on our shoulders, no one's going back for hand

I'm the shape that the current made it — I don't need your name to know this isn't sand

Iron skyline rising — watch them learn my name

Verse 2

Now the storefront signs reflect what we already know — we own the street

Corner boy in a ski mask is just someone's kid learning to breathe

Every brick laid down was somebody trying not to drown alone tonight

I carry the weight that they said I wasn't born for

Said my father's name was nothing but a myth, not a door

I built an empire where the door was always a choice — I chose

To keep the money honest even when it costs me sleep

Hired the old guard's kid to watch the block because he didn't know the trap — yet

Now every light that flickers means a hundred families stay up late

They're watching what I build instead of tearing down what I've made

Pre-Chorus

They don't know how to read us yet — they just know we're moving fast

Every new window in Fjordgata means a family stayed

Chorus

Iron skyline rising where the old guard used to stand

Cinder on our shoulders, no one's going back for hand

I'm the shape that the current made it — I don't need your name to know this isn't sand

Iron skyline rising — watch them learn my name

Bridge

Maybe 'comer' was never just a title — maybe it was a door that swung the right way

Maybe they only called me that because we scared them enough to stay

I'm not a debt, I'm the interest — I'm not a name, I'm a name they pay

Chorus

Iron skyline rising where the old guard used to stand

Cinder on our shoulders, no one's going back for hand

I'm the shape that the current made it — I don't need your name to know this isn't sand

Iron skyline rising — watch them learn my name
