Iron Skies Rise (versie 2)

Verse 1

Concrete sky and burning signs

Every window's locked but mine

Copper wires where the daylight used to be

Ash is falling soft on me

City breathing, holding its breath

I'm not waiting for the light to come back

I've got my hands up, I don't need a gun

This is how we take what we are and run

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising through the ground

Every heartbeat turning upside down

Chorus

Iron skies rise above me now

We are not the darkness anymore

Shining like a fire in the glow of what's been lost

Rise up, let the iron skies rise with us now

Verse 2

Pavement splitting where the shadows stand

Every shadow is my enemy's hand

But I don't need a shield to hold this ground

I've got the pulse of something coming round

Glowing through the smoke and breaking free

This is how we learn to be ourselves again

Nothing left but what we choose to keep

Every heartbeat makes me brave enough to leap

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising through the ground

Every heartbeat turning upside down

Chorus

Iron skies rise above me now

We are not the darkness anymore

Shining like a fire in the glow of what's been lost

Rise up, let the iron skies rise with us now

Bridge

No more chains on my ankles or my mind

The blackest night can't leave me behind

I am every spark that broke through glass

Every window lit up and blazing pass

Not a victim waiting for the sun

I'm the fire starting underneath everyone

Every shadow bends to what I hold

Nothing left but gold where the iron colds

Chorus

Iron skies rise above me now

We are not the darkness anymore

Shining like a fire in the glow of what's been lost

Rise up, let the iron skies rise with us now
