Steel Sky Serenade

Verse 1

Sweat drips cold on marble stone

Twenty floors above the throne

Gilded frames hold frozen sky

City breathes through iron eye

I built this tower out of steel

Every floor a story I could sell

Lights reflect off polished glass

Nobody here will ask the cost at all

Pre-Chorus

So tell me is it worth the pain

Every dollar spent in vain

Chorus

Steel sky serenade beneath my feet

Concrete chorus, holy and complete

I am king of this machine tonight

Nothing left but neon light

Steel sky serenade beneath my feet

This is all I'm born to be

Verse 2

Chrome rail shakes where the bassline hits

Black water pools in the pits below

Every face up here wears a grin

Same old line, it plays me again

Rooftop wind like a chorus sings

Icarus falls but the city clings

Twenty years of blood and borrowed gold

Not a single promise I hold

Pre-Chorus

So tell me is it worth the pain

Every dollar spent in vain

Chorus

Steel sky serenade beneath my feet

Concrete chorus, holy and complete

I am king of this machine tonight

Nothing left but neon light

Steel sky serenade beneath my feet

This is all I'm born to be

Bridge

Maybe kings don't have a home to keep

Maybe towers fall when the winds they sleep

Still my hand stays open on the rail

Chorus

Steel sky serenade beneath my feet

Concrete chorus, holy and complete

I am king of this machine tonight

Nothing left but neon light

Steel sky serenade beneath my feet

This is all I'm born to be
