Crown of the Iron Tide 5

Intro

Iron tide holds the floor

Verse 1 – male vocal

Bassline pulls like a chain through bone

Hands up against the current's pull

Grey light leaks where the black door folds

Crown sits heavy on my skull

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the water climb the wall?

Nothing breaks before the dawn call

Chorus

Rise with the crown, let the iron tide take me whole

Hands up till the lights come up, hands up until we go home

Steel breathes slow through the rafters above us now

This is how a city wakes us, this is how it's done

Verse 2 – female vocal

Sweat runs cold down my collarbone

Smoke curls thin where the strobe was thrown

Feet won't stop till the ceiling splits

Crown rides heavy over the city's hips

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the water climb the wall?

Nothing breaks before the dawn call

Chorus

Rise with the crown, let the iron tide take me whole

Hands up till the lights come up, hands up until we go home

Steel breathes slow through the rafters above us now

This is how a city wakes us, this is how it's done

Bridge – male vocal only

Every pulse line humming underneath my skin

Every hand that lifts before the light gets in

One more heartbeat before the grey rolls through

This whole floor breathing like it was made for you

Chorus

Rise with the crown, let the iron tide take me whole

Hands up till the lights come up, hands up until we go home

Steel breathes slow through the rafters above us now

This is how a city wakes us, this is how it's done
