Iron Crown of Rust (versie 2)

Verse

Black iron on my knuckles

Steel crown biting through the skin

Tide comes up where my pulse begins

Salt in the teeth where the light goes thin

Pre-Chorus

Hold the weight till it breaks the ground

Nothing left but this dark sound

Skin turns to rust, let the current hold

Drown before I let go of cold

Chorus

Iron crown of rust and salt

Iron crown on a hollowed neck

No name left where the tide can reach

Iron crown of rust and breath

Verse 2

Cables hiss through my open palm

Sodium taste where the current ran

Cold light burning in every seam

Nothing warm but what the dark becomes

Pre-Chorus

Hold the weight till it breaks the ground

Nothing left but this dark sound

Skin turns to rust, let the current hold

Drown before I let go of cold

Chorus

Iron crown of rust and salt

Iron crown on a hollowed neck

No name left where the tide can reach

Iron crown of rust and breath

Bridge

Crown falls off in the undertow

Nothing left to lose, nothing to know

Static hums inside an empty skull

Water takes the shape that I once was full

Chorus

Iron crown of rust and salt

Iron crown on a hollowed neck

No name left where the tide can reach

Iron crown of rust and breath
