Iron Requiem 2 2

Verse

Rusty steel, your hand finds mine in the dark

Concrete dust still settling where the battle scarred

We used to run with our feet on the wire

Now we're walking through the empty fire

Your eyes keep rising like a lantern in smoke

You ask me if I'm done with all this war-sweat broke

Every night is just another kind of fight

But every hour makes it feel more right

Pre-Chorus

Is there something left to save from what we've been through?

Something worth holding onto here, right now?

We can't go back, but maybe we can find a way to stay

Chorus

Iron requiem for every night that's gone

Iron requiem, and I won't move on

Bare your steel like you mean it this time

We burn until the morning light

Verse 2

Cold wind through the gates where our names were written in blood

Every door we used to fear is standing empty now instead

I remember how the silence felt before the sirens came

But today, I don't feel that same weight and shame

You turn your collar up against a falling star

Tell me if it's true you're not done with this life after all

We've seen our share of cities burning down to nothing and stone

And we're still standing here like a couple of ghosts in tow

Pre-Chorus

Is there something left to save from what we've been through?

Something worth holding onto here, right now?

We can't go back, but maybe we can find a way to stay

Chorus

Iron requiem for every night that's gone

Iron requiem, and I won't move on

Bare your steel like you mean it this time

We burn until the morning light

Bridge

Maybe what we've lost will turn into a fire of its own

Something real in a world that only deals with bone

So let's trade our surrender for some fuel to drive us through

Cause I am yours, and this is something true

Chorus

Iron requiem for every night that's gone

Iron requiem, and I won't move on

Bare your steel like you mean it this time

We burn until the morning light
