Steel Runes on my Veins II (Version 2)

Verse

Rune tattoo sweating under the black light beam

Every battle scar is a verse I scream

Iron in my lungs where the old gods used to breathe

Steel runes burning under city street

Blood and rust on the chrome beneath my skin

I was forged by fire before I began

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climbing up through my collarbone

Every wound becomes a name that's known

Something ancient waking in my chest

Rising like a tide from a long forgotten rest

Chorus

Steel runes on my veins, steel runs through my bones

I carry every war this city ever thrown

Crowned with chrome and iron, baptized in fire

Steel runes on my veins till the ashes tire

Verse 2

Spent a winter buried under frost and smoke

Every scar I wore was currency I chose to make

I traded soft skin for a heartbeat of steel

Learned to move like lightning when the city howls at meel

Chrome shield glowing red, the whole block turning white

Steel in my blood keeps me moving through the night

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climbing up through my collarbone

Every wound becomes a name that's known

Something ancient waking in my chest

Rising like a tide from a long forgotten rest

Chorus

Steel runes on my veins, steel runs through my bones

I carry every war this city ever thrown

Crowned with chrome and iron, baptized in fire

Steel runes on my veins till the ashes tire

Bridge

Every name I lost is written down my spine

Every battle crown I hold keeps me alive tonight

Hands up to the sky like this is holy ground

Runes don't fade when the sun comes back around

Chorus

Steel runes on my veins, steel runs through my bones

I carry every war this city ever thrown

Crowned with chrome and iron, baptized in fire

Steel runes on my veins till the ashes tire
