Tread Beneath the Iron Crown (Version 2)

Verse

Iron crown sits heavy on my brow

Pavement gone slick with engine glow

Feet don't ask what the hands decide

Tread the steel where the day divide

Crowd behind me folds into the wall

One more push before the drop at all

Pre-Chorus

Hands up pull, the line goes white

Kick drum finds my spine tonight

No name left beneath the floor

Just iron and the kick door

Chorus

Tread beneath the iron crown

Feet don't stop till the walls come down

Tread beneath the iron crown

Every step erases ground

Verse 2

Chain link shadows stretch across my chest

Spit on the lens, cut out the rest

Sweat runs black through a hole in the seam

Nobody here is calling me a name

Floor tilts sideways, the walls dissolve

Iron remembers what we lose

Pre-Chorus

Hands up pull, the line goes white

Kick drum finds my spine tonight

No name left beneath the floor

Just iron and the kick door

Chorus

Tread beneath the iron crown

Feet don't stop till the walls come down

Tread beneath the iron crown

Every step erases ground

Bridge

Remove the face where the mouth was drawn

Static fills the space the name left on

Crown sits heavy, doesn't ask my name

Floor keeps counting, I keep no trace

No echo left for a voice to hold

Only iron and the weight we're told

Chorus

Tread beneath the iron crown

Feet don't stop till the walls come down

Tread beneath the iron crown

Every step erases ground
