Iron Crown Rising 14

Intro

Iron crown beneath the floor

Verse 1 – male vocal, low register, heavy reverb, singing legato

Concrete hums where the iron sleeps

Counting down to a thousand feet

My pulse drops slow but my hands still hold

The weight of every heartbeat told

Steam hisses up from the wall above

Every breath turning into movement, proof

Pre-Chorus – male vocal, higher register, grit and falsetto

Feel it climbing through my chest now

Feel it burning in my jaw

Something waking underneath me

Let it pull me down to law

Chorus – full band, screaming guitar, massive drums, powerful voice

Iron crown rising from the floor

Every heartbeat calls for more

Iron crown rising on the tide

I'll follow till I see the other side

Verse 2 – male vocal, low register, heavy reverb, singing legato

Blood pressure drops but my jaw stays locked

Crown gets heavier with every block

Shadows bend where the current runs

Nothing left to hold onto, son

Sweat goes cold and I still don't break

Chest keeps counting on a broken scale

Pre-Chorus – male vocal, higher register, grit and falsetto

Feel it climbing through my chest now

Feel it burning in my jaw

Something waking underneath me

Let it pull me down to law

Chorus – full band, screaming guitar, massive drums, powerful voice

Iron crown rising from the floor

Every heartbeat calls for more

Iron crown rising on the tide

I'll follow till I see the other side

Bridge – male vocal, half-spoken and low, no reverb, close mic'd

No name for this inside my chest

Only weight that I don't rest

Crown turns heavy in my grip now

Floor's still shaking underneath somehow

Outro – full band, screaming guitar, massive drums, powerful voice

Iron crown rising from the floor

Every heartbeat calls for more

Iron crown rising on the tide

I'll follow till I see the other side
