Iron Veins 2 8

Verse 1 – female intimate verse voice

Iron in the waterline

Rust that never settles

Every lift I take it down

Leaves a mark beneath my crown

Sweat on silver like a badge of pride

Chalk on calloused palms where the weights come alive

The harder I press, the slower it flows

I'm not made to waste it, I've got a long way to go

Pre-Chorus

Watch me keep this iron in my bones

Burning every drop before it turns to stone

Chorus – soaring belted chorus

Iron veins in my body, burning slow and bright

Pounding through the rhythm of every single fight

I'm not made to fade like a sunset in the west

This is how the strong get built, this is where I find my rest

Iron veins in my body, never letting go

Fuel for the fire that's burning like a beacon from below

Every drop that turns to dust

Is a debt I pay before I trust

Verse 2 – female intimate verse voice

Frayed rope and heavy chains

But every lift I take is paid in full again

I've got a debt to keep my body whole

This iron's burning, turning my bones into gold

Floor is slick with oil but I don't slip away

My hands remember the weight long after it's gone from display

The fire never stops for a single night

It keeps on burning, keeps me walking through the fight

Pre-Chorus

Watch me keep this iron in my bones

Burning every drop before it turns to stone

Chorus – soaring belted chorus

Iron veins in my body, burning slow and bright

Pounding through the rhythm of every single fight

I'm not made to fade like a sunset in the west

This is how the strong get built, this is where I find my rest

Iron veins in my body, never letting go

Fuel for the fire that's burning like a beacon from below

Every drop that turns to dust

Is a debt I pay before I trust

Bridge

No gold or silver can compare to what I hold inside

This iron running through my veins is something I won't divide

I'm not searching for a medal or a name to wear

Just the power of this furnace burning in every single cell that's there

Chorus – soaring belted chorus

Iron veins in my body, burning slow and bright

Pounding through the rhythm of every single fight

I'm not made to fade like a sunset in the west

This is how the strong get built, this is where I find my rest

Iron veins in my body, never letting go

Fuel for the fire that's burning like a beacon from below

Every drop that turns to dust

Is a debt I pay before I trust

Outro

Iron veins in my bones

Burning slow and whole
