The Iron Crown 16

Verse

Steel door slammed behind the night

Tide of black washed out the light

Crown of iron, cold on skin

I don't remember where I begin

Bones gone numb beneath the bass

Face in smoke, no name, no trace

Pre-Chorus

Water rising up my throat

Something breaking through the coat

Iron crown, it pulls me under

Nowhere left to go but thunder

Hands up high, the walls collapse

I let go before the fall

Chorus

The iron crown and I are one now

Lost forever in this drum

No more names beneath the sound

Nothing left but iron, loud

Baptized in static, born of stone

This is home, this is my throne

Verse

Static eating through the vein

Blood runs black where the bassline reigns

Eyes turned white beneath the strobe

I don't know if I'm alive or rope

Grey light bleeding past the seam

Same four bars is all that I've seen

Pre-Chorus

Water rising up my throat

Something breaking through the coat

Iron crown, it pulls me under

Nowhere left to go but thunder

Hands up high, the walls collapse

I let go before the fall

Chorus

The iron crown and I are one now

Lost forever in this drum

No more names beneath the sound

Nothing left but iron, loud

Baptized in static, born of stone

This is home, this is my throne

Bridge

Not a name they'll ever find me by

Just a heartbeat lost inside the wire

Steel on skin where the pulse used to be

The crown don't ask for anything back from me

Rust and strobe, one long litany

I am the current that won't let go of free

Chorus

The iron crown and I are one now

Lost forever in this drum

No more names beneath the sound

Nothing left but iron, loud

Baptized in static, born of stone

This is home, this is my throne
