Iron Under the Crown (Version 2)

Verse

Iron dust on the floorboards

The king's coat left behind

Chainmail rusts in the corner

We don't need it for the climb

Sword and shield are just symbols

Climbing through what's left of the night

Pre-Chorus

Every crown that ever sat upon our shoulders

Is sinking under every wave we make

No throne can hold us back from breaking

Nothing broken, nothing to escape

Chorus

Iron under the crown

We rise where they fall down

Fists unclench when the kingdom comes crashing down

Iron under the crown

Verse 2

Salt water dries on velvet banners

Gold still shines but it's cold as stone

Every castle built on broken promises

Falls silent before we're gone

No names to save, no thrones to claim

We walk where empires used to stand

Pre-Chorus

Every crown that ever sat upon our shoulders

Is sinking under every wave we make

No throne can hold us back from breaking

Nothing broken, nothing to escape

Chorus

Iron under the crown

We rise where they fall down

Fists unclench when the kingdom comes crashing down

Iron under the crown

Bridge

Not a war of flags, not a fight for glory

This is every heartbeat finally free

The weight that kings and kingdoms laid on us

Is just dust we step through calmly

No gold left to divide between us

Only iron and the rising tide

Chorus

Iron under the crown

We rise where they fall down

Fists unclench when the kingdom comes crashing down

Iron under the crown
