Iron Skies 3 2

Verse

I rise above the smoke

Ink across my collarbone, fire in my throat

City never slept, it just took flight

Iron wings beneath the dark of night

Bones in glass, steel for veins

Every step I take is paved with pain

Fingers stained with ink and smoke

Nothing left to lose but this last stroke

Pre-Chorus

Let the sirens sing their song

Pull the trigger off my tongue

Watch the shadows turn to gold

This is how we're born, not told

Chorus

Rise up in the iron skies

Burning every place I've been

No more chains on these wild eyes

Fires burning 'til they die

Iron wings beneath our feet

Run with lions through the dark of street

We don't ask for permission to fly

We just take it like we're gonna try

Verse

Every brick was made from pain and fire

Built a fortress I'll never retire

Spill my blood across these city streets

If this is dying, then I'm already at my feet

Fingers numb but I won't stop writing

Each line cuts deeper than the last night's fight

Nothing left to lose in this dark of mine

I've been chasing fire like it's the only sign

Pre-Chorus

Let the sirens sing their song

Pull the trigger off my tongue

Watch the shadows turn to gold

This is how we're born, not told

Chorus

Rise up in the iron skies

Burning every place I've been

No more chains on these wild eyes

Fires burning 'til they die

Iron wings beneath our feet

Run with lions through the dark of street

We don't ask for permission to fly

We just take it like we're gonna try

Bridge

No need to wait for the morning light

Just light the match and I'll ignite

I was made for this, every scar a sign

This is how we rise up in these iron skies

Chorus

Rise up in the iron skies

Burning every place I've been

No more chains on these wild eyes

Fires burning 'til they die

Iron wings beneath our feet

Run with lions through the dark of street

We don't ask for permission to fly

We just take it like we're gonna try
