Iron Crown on Concrete

Verse

Concrete floor cracked and worn away

Cold light bleeding through the blinds all day

Every window in the city turns to grey

I stay up waiting for a sunrise that won't break

Chorus

Iron crown on concrete, burning into bone

We don't bow down till the sun is overthrown

Hands to the sky where the last of it fades

Iron crown on concrete until the daylight breaks

Verse 2

Steam off the pavement where the heat won't stay

City coughing up its own decay

Every door I open leads back to this place

Same cold pulse, same tired face

Chorus

Iron crown on concrete, burning into bone

We don't bow down till the sun is overthrown

Hands to the sky where the last of it fades

Iron crown on concrete until the daylight breaks

Bridge

No dawn without a war for light

Every star that falls ignites the night

Let the crown stay heavy in my chest

Till every shadow knows what rest means

Chorus

Iron crown on concrete, burning into bone

We don't bow down till the sun is overthrown

Hands to the sky where the last of it fades

Iron crown on concrete until the daylight breaks
