Crown the Iron Sky

Verse

Iron sky above the grid

Static hum where the sun used to sit

Concrete skin and a thousand breaths

The crown never breaks, it just bends.

Four a.m. and the lights turn white

Every face is a stranger's fight

The bassline pulls like a dark tide

I don't feel my own pulse inside

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the iron start to ring?

Something old that I used to be is breaking out again.

Hold on through this last cold shake.

Let it climb up through the concrete lake

Chorus

Crown the iron sky

Rise where the silence dies

Hands up, one long wire of light

Tear my name down into white

Verse

The smoke machine runs dry and thin

Someone's laughing at a noise within

I lost count of every hour, every door

This is the only thing that I'm asking for.

A thousand hearts beating off the same low drum

Every shadow here becomes someone else's name.

No windows left to keep me whole.

Just this iron crown, just this electric cold

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the iron start to ring?

Something old that I used to be is breaking out again.

Hold on through this last cold shake.

Let it climb up through the concrete lake

Chorus

Crown the iron sky

Rise where the silence dies

Hands up, one long wire of light

Tear my name down into white

Bridge

No more streets to follow back home

Just static rising through the bone

I'll leave the old skin hanging in the dust.

This is what I was made for — nothing less than this.

Nothing left but pure intent.

Let it burn, let it ascend

Chorus

Crown the iron sky

Rise where the silence dies

Hands up, one long wire of light

Tear my name down into white
