Iron Hymn 2 2

Verse

Cold pipe on the concrete floor

Bleach-stiffened skin where sunlight pours

Last of us with nothing left to say

Six a.m. streetlight humming white

Steam from pipes like fog before the fight

Fingers locked around the iron stair

Pulling up through air that burns like fire

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the drumline in your chest?

Skin remembers what our hearts have pressed

Chorus

Iron hymn, rising to the steel

Iron hymn, we don't stop until we feel it swell

Iron hymn, every ribcage pounding time

Iron hymn, locked and never leaving this place behind

Verse 2

Torn denim clinging wet along the thigh

Copper taste from iron on a winter's sigh

Every window cracks like breaking stone

But we won't stop until our pulse is one

Fourteen stories up where darkness ends

Fists against the rebar, burning through the lens

Nothing left of us but what still will burn

Iron hymn climbing higher and never learning to turn

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the drumline in your chest?

Skin remembers what our hearts have pressed

Chorus

Iron hymn, rising to the steel

Iron hymn, we don't stop until we feel it swell

Iron hymn, every ribcage pounding time

Iron hymn, locked and never leaving this place behind

Bridge

We won't be still. We won't give up tonight.

The iron breathes through us like a fire in the light

We'll chase the sirens down into the dark and find our own rhythm there.

This is our anthem when the world wants to tear us apart.

Chorus

Iron hymn, rising to the steel

Iron hymn, we don't stop until we feel it swell

Iron hymn, every ribcage pounding time

Iron hymn, locked and never leaving this place behind
