Iron Fades to Amber 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Frost on the lens, amber in my veins

Ritual smoke is rising through my brain

Horns along the horizon start to sound

Ice cuts clean through every shadow I've found

The iron's starting to melt into gold

I feel it pulling me down where the river flows cold

Pre-Chorus

Let the drums pull out this ancient weight

Watch the steel turn liquid and break free at last

Chorus

Iron fades to amber

Ritual breaking loose in here

Ice melts, steel turns gold

Nothing left of all we used to hold

Iron fades to amber

Every boundary that once confined

Melting down where shadows lose their shape

This is how our legend leaves behind

Iron fades to amber

Nothing left but sun on skin and fire

No more chains to bind what I desire

This is the sound of breaking free at last

Verse

Ritual smoke keeps curling through my lungs

Every iron link that held me down is gone

Horns along the horizon cut right through the haze

I am burning out into amber days

Cold is turning warm and heavy in my chest

The steel that once defined what I would possess

Is now running red like sunrise over stone

This is where the ritual leaves me alone

Pre-Chorus

Let the drums pull out this ancient weight

Watch the steel turn liquid and break free at last

Chorus

Iron fades to amber

Ritual breaking loose in here

Ice melts, steel turns gold

Nothing left of all we used to hold

Iron fades to amber

Every boundary that once confined

Melting down where shadows lose their shape

This is how our legend leaves behind

Iron fades to amber

Nothing left but sun on skin and fire

No more chains to bind what I desire

This is the sound of breaking free at last

Bridge

Not a single spark will be extinguished

Every light that once was locked inside is unleashed now

The iron's gone, but in its place

Amber runs through all my empty space

Chorus

Iron fades to amber

Ritual breaking loose in here

Ice melts, steel turns gold

Nothing left of all we used to hold

Iron fades to amber

Every boundary that once confined

Melting down where shadows lose their shape

This is how our legend leaves behind

Iron fades to amber

Nothing left but sun on skin and fire

No more chains to bind what I desire

This is the sound of breaking free at last
