We Are the Iron Crown (Version 2)

Verse

Iron pipe and frozen wire

Every heartbeat in the floor

We are the current that runs through it

Never stopping till there's nothing more

Sweat like oil on a thousand bodies

One pulse moving through us all

No face left, no name, just iron

This is how we stand against the fall

Rivets pounding out a broken rhythm

The crown of rust above our heads

We're the force that wears it down instead

Nothing breaks when the pressure builds

Nothing falls in the sound we make

Every breath is a rivet hammered

Locking steel into place

Pre-Chorus

Feet go numb, skin turns to iron

Hands find hands through the dark and through the cold

The crown holds tight, it never loosens

This is how we're made, this is how we're told

Chorus

We are the iron crown

Melted into one

We don't break under pressure

We become the sun

Iron heart, iron grip

Nothing lets go slow

This is where the strong survive

Underneath the glow

Verse

Floor is shaking to a hundred kilos

Every drop of sweat is fuel for steel

Crown is rising off our shoulders

One machine and we are all it feels

Rivets splitting skin like shattered glass

Nothing left but what the iron does

We're the current, we're the wire that carries

The weight of everything that falls through us

Pre-Chorus

Feet go numb, skin turns to iron

Hands find hands through the dark and through the cold

The crown holds tight, it never loosens

This is how we're made, this is how we're told

Chorus

We are the iron crown

Melted into one

We don't break under pressure

We become the sun

Iron heart, iron grip

Nothing lets go slow

This is where the strong survive

Underneath the glow

Bridge

Strip away the names and faces

Only current left to follow

One pulse rising from a thousand chests

The crown forgets who's underneath it

Sweat like oil running down the steel

Feet don't stop till the last beat falls

No one leaves before the morning

We are iron when the light runs small

Chorus

We are the iron crown

Melted into one

We don't break under pressure

We become the sun

Iron heart, iron grip

Nothing lets go slow

This is where the strong survive

Underneath the glow
