Hearth and iron in the dark lyrics
Verse 1
Cold concrete, heavy door
Log drum rumbling through the floor
Your silver rings against my chest
Two shadows leaning out the rest
Smoke curls up to the rafters high
Nobody watching the hours go by
Pre-Chorus
Keep it close, don't let it slip
Fingers locked into the grip
Tell me can you feel the heat
Rising up beneath our feet?
Chorus
Hearth and iron in the dark
Catch the breath and hold the spark
Let the heavy rhythm stay
We won't let it wash away
Hearth and iron, hold the line
Keep your body close to mine
Verse 2
Four o'clock and the speakers hum
Sweat like rain on the kettle drum
Rust on the window, frost outside
Nowhere else for the night to hide
You press your forehead to my skin
Lock the world out, lock us in
Pre-Chorus
Keep it close, don't let it slip
Fingers locked into the grip
Tell me can you feel the heat
Rising up beneath our feet?
Chorus
Hearth and iron in the dark
Catch the breath and hold the spark
Let the heavy rhythm stay
We won't let it wash away
Hearth and iron, hold the line
Keep your body close to mine
Bridge
Steel will bend before we break
Every breath is ours to take
Feed the coal, steady slow
Never letting this fire go
Chorus
Hearth and iron in the dark
Catch the breath and hold the spark
Let the heavy rhythm stay
We won't let it wash away
Hearth and iron, hold the line
Keep your body close to mine
