Skin & the Steel (versie 2)

Verse

Rivulets of sweat on the iron rail

City's hum bleeds into the trail

Steel teeth cut through the smoke and haze

Every scar tells its own tale

Ten thousand feet above the grey

I was built to keep this fire alive

Cage door opens, I take my stride

Chains of silence locked inside

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising up past the bone

Something ancient taking back what's mine

Can you feel that storm behind your eyes?

This is how we let the wolves ignite

Chorus

Skin and steel, we're made to break

Every chain they forged will crack and shake

Feet on fire, hearts turned gold

Nothing can contain us when we unfold

Verse 2

Concrete splits like it never could

Steel remembers every wound we've stood

Cold wind howling through the open gate

This is where I learn my own weight

Iron teeth lock shut behind me now

Letting go of something I didn't know how

Blood and rust, we're built to last

Every cage they build will never hold that

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising up past the bone

Something ancient taking back what's mine

Can you feel that storm behind your eyes?

This is how we let the wolves ignite

Chorus

Skin and steel, we're made to break

Every chain they forged will crack and shake

Feet on fire, hearts turned gold

Nothing can contain us when we unfold

Bridge

No bars left standing when I'm done

Just iron dust and a rising sun

I don't carry the scars I've made

I carry every wall that's been raised and dazed

This isn't freedom — it's just the sound of my own name

The city may have locked me in this frame

But nothing forged can hold what's burning inside of me

Chorus

Skin and steel, we're made to break

Every chain they forged will crack and shake

Feet on fire, hearts turned gold

Nothing can contain us when we unfold
