Iron Crown 40 (recording 2)

Verse

Blood on the grate, breath in white fog

Every hand that rose still holds a rock

Floor turned hot beneath your feet

You don't fall when you stand for steel

Pre-Chorus

Something's breaking at the crown

Bones won't bend to where the weight is found

Crown won't lift till blood runs clear

Iron never lets what it holds here

Chorus

I wear the iron, I bear its name

Steel on my skull, nothing else can hold me in this frame

Every drop of blood is a crown that won't break

This is how a man keeps his own way

Verse

Sweat gone cold under chrome skin tight

Eyes locked hard against the white light

Something ancient running through your spine

Never once a doubt, never lost the line

Pre-Chorus

Something's breaking at the crown

Bones won't bend to where the weight is found

Crown won't lift till blood runs clear

Iron never lets what it holds here

Chorus

I wear the iron, I bear its name

Steel on my skull, nothing else can hold me in this frame

Every drop of blood is a crown that won't break

This is how a man keeps his own way

Bridge

No god, no prayer, just bone and cold metal seam

Just your pulse against the iron's beam

Let it rise before you fall apart

This is what the crown was made for — your heart

Chorus

I wear the iron, I bear its name

Steel on my skull, nothing else can hold me in this frame

Every drop of blood is a crown that won't break

This is how a man keeps his own way
