Iron on Bone (버전 2)

Verse

Steel in the socket of my spine — the weight I bear

Mother said it would come when the world is tired of war

I watch from behind a shield that bears no name —

The boneless one plans while the axe does the shame

Iron on bone, iron in skin — that's all I can say

When every brother at my side is made to fight and run away

No blade cuts me down for what they cannot see —

I'm not here to bleed but to hold this victory

Pre-Chorus

So where does the power come from when the body gives out?

Is it in the blood or something I built without?

Do you hear the bones talking as we move through the fight?

Or is it just me screaming with every blow tonight

Chorus

Iron on bone, iron on skin — that's where my strength lies!

I don't need a sword to cut down what they ask of me —

Steel in the socket, steel in the vein — I'm not like you all, I swear.

When you're born of bones but trained to break them — nothing will ever take this from me!

Verse 2

Ragnar says: 'Áslaug made a monster out of her love' —

I say: she built something different sent from above

Every Norseman at my back is born for the fight —

But when you're made to think beyond your body's light — that's where the power lies

We storm the walls, we burn the ground — I watch it all go by

My blood runs cold like the rivers in winter, dark and low inside

No one cuts me down without taking out what keeps this place whole —

So they'll never take my life but only watch as it breaks loose to hold

Pre-Chorus

Where does the power come from when the body gives out?

Is it in the blood or something I built without?

Do you hear the bones talking as we move through the fight?

Or is it just me screaming with every blow tonight

Chorus

Iron on bone, iron on skin — that's where my strength lies!

I don't need a sword to cut down what they ask of me —

Steel in the socket, steel in the vein — I'm not like you all, I swear.

When you're born of bones but trained to break them — nothing will ever take this from me!

Bridge

I don't fight for glory or the right to call my own name

I just stand where no one else can fit inside this space

Chorus

Iron on bone, iron on skin — that's where my strength lies!

I don't need a sword to cut down what they ask of me —

Steel in the socket, steel in the vein — I'm not like you all, I swear.

When you're born of bones but trained to break them — nothing will ever take this from me!
