The City Never Sleeps (wersja 2)

Intro

Iron city under ice and stone

We don't sleep till the world is done

Verse 1

The fire crackles black beneath the bridge of steel

Every man inside this fortress earned it real

I've walked each wall before I claimed my name —

Paid in blood for every verse that got fame —

Carved the runes into stone where none could stay —

Sang to keep the wolves from howling through the gray

Bought my silence with a silver coin I'd spend —

Turned the quiet ones to instruments of war again —

Pre-Chorus

Now they call me king but I just kept the flame —

Watch what happens when the kingdom starts to name

Chorus

The city never sleeps and neither will I (never will) —

Spinning verse like steel that cuts through ice (through ice!) —

Every wall I built was made from words not stone —

When you're the one who speaks, you own what you have known (Hu-ha!) —

Verse 2

Raiders came for midnight but we sang them in —

Faced the frozen fjord where silence turns to sin —

Sounded every warhorn till the enemy turned back —

Told a legend loud so they would never attack —

Built this tower from the ashes of the old —

Kept the fire alive when nobody else was bold —

Learned each silence has a price you must repay —

Turned my quiet into an army at play —

Pre-Chorus

Now they call me king but I just kept the flame —

Watch what happens when the kingdom starts to name

Chorus

The city never sleeps and neither will I (never will) —

Spinning verse like steel that cuts through ice (through ice!) —

Every wall I built was made from words not stone —

When you're the one who speaks, you own what you have known (Hu-ha!) —

Bridge

Maybe silence has a kingdom of its own —

But I chose to make my voice instead of stone —

The city breathes because we never breathe
