Iron Sails at Dawn 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Bare feet on the deck

Salt spray in the teeth

Sun comes up behind the ice

Steel rings open wide

Shadows run across the hull

Men like wolves at dawn's gate

No shield here to break our will

Iron sails against the state

Every chain is cracked apart

Rudder spins without a sound

Nothing stays where it was set

We take the currents we found

Pre-Chorus

Let the frost come up inside

Break the hold that chains can make

Chorus

Iron sails at dawn, iron sails against the dark

Every link of every chain is broken right from the start

Iron sails at dawn, iron sails across the tide

Nothing holds us where it was meant to hide

Iron sails at dawn, iron sails we throw behind

Rise up and take the day for our own design

Verse 2

Bodies wear a thin layer of frost

Sweat turns white before it can dry

No one asks what it is we fight for now

Just that they rise to stand beside

Every drum in every chest is beating as one

Shadows fade where steel begins to run

Nothing here will ever stay behind

Not the ones who walk this line

Pre-Chorus

Let the frost come up inside

Break the hold that chains can make

Chorus

Iron sails at dawn, iron sails against the dark

Every link of every chain is broken right from the start

Iron sails at dawn, iron sails across the tide

Nothing holds us where it was meant to hide

Iron sails at dawn, iron sails we throw behind

Rise up and take the day for our own design

Bridge

Not a battle won or lost today

Just this one thing that never fades away

Every chain is broken wide

This is all there's left to try

Every man here stands as long as he can

No wall holds us where we stand

Iron sails at dawn, iron sails against the dark

Nothing turns it back

Chorus

Iron sails at dawn, iron sails against the dark

Every link of every chain is broken right from the start

Iron sails at dawn, iron sails across the tide

Nothing holds us where it was meant to hide

Iron sails at dawn, iron sails we throw behind

Rise up and take the day for our own design
