Iron Throne at Dusk

Intro

Iron breath, cold floor

Verse 1 – male vocal

Concrete sweat against my skin

Every shadow is a stranger in

Fists at dawn along the wall

I'm not alone, I'm standing tall

Pre-Chorus – low murmured build

Something's coming with the rise of light

Iron holds it back from taking flight

Chorus – peak-time bellow, layered processed vocals

I hold the iron crown at dusk

Blood and steel against the blue

I won't let the tide pull me down

I'm the king of this broken crew

Verse 2 – male vocal, slightly higher in the mix

Gravel hums beneath my feet

Every heartbeat is a threat to my own survival

I find your shape through the smoke and haze

Together we become the wall that won't break

Pre-Chorus – building with layered percussion, acid stab accents

Something's coming, feel it rise

We're the only ones who can decide

Chorus – full, processed roar, four layered parts

I hold the iron crown at dusk

Blood and steel against the blue

I won't let the tide pull me down

I'm the king of this broken crew

Bridge – whispered vocal, heavy reverb on percussion only

Let go now and watch it fall

Steel remembers before we ever had it all

No throne here, no crown at all

Only hands that made it through

Chorus – same four-part stacked vocals as before

I hold the iron crown at dusk

Blood and steel against the blue

I won't let the tide pull me down

I'm the king of this broken crew
