Iron Crown 21

Verse

Icarus wire on a broken tree

Gold on the crown line that never came to be

Every god I built had an iron flaw

Now I'm walking through the valley of law

Bodies move like they're wired to stone

Static skin and a heavy-handed throne

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the engine winding up

Something ancient, something enough

Chorus

Iron crown on the electric plain

Every king that I ever was, it's not my name

I trade my shadow for a heavier light

Nothing left to lose in this iron night

Verse

The wire cracked under the first true fall

Watched the tower burn before I lost it all

Now I'm standing where the iron meets the snow

Crown of rust and static, let it go

I don't need a name when every heartbeat

Is just another drum beneath my feet

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the engine winding up

Something ancient, something enough

Chorus

Iron crown on the electric plain

Every king that I ever was, it's not my name

I trade my shadow for a heavier light

Nothing left to lose in this iron night

Bridge

Not a throne, it's just the ground beneath

Every empire is just ash and breath

This wire hums like a second heartbeat now

Static prayer over a mountain of snow

Chorus

Iron crown on the electric plain

Every king that I ever was, it's not my name

I trade my shadow for a heavier light

Nothing left to lose in this iron night
