Verse
Rust on the rafters, iron in the air
Twelve hundred bodies breathing one long prayer
Kick drum sermon through the black machine
Melt me down to nothing I can name or seen
Pre-Chorus
Feel the floor come up through my feet
Feel the name I had start to leave
Every hinge in me starts to bend
Losing count where I begin
Chorus
Ferrous liturgy, burning through my skin
Ferrous liturgy, let the current in
No more face, no more name, no more me
Just the iron hymn and the ferrous liturgy
Verse
Chain-link shadows on the concrete floor
Same four kick drums, I don't need one more
Sparks off the rail where the dancers grind
Forge me over, leave the old shape behind
Pre-Chorus
Feel the floor come up through my feet
Feel the name I had start to leave
Every hinge in me starts to bend
Losing count where I begin
Chorus
Ferrous liturgy, burning through my skin
Ferrous liturgy, let the current in
No more face, no more name, no more me
Just the iron hymn and the ferrous liturgy
Bridge
Melt it, melt it, pour me through the mold
Nothing left of who I was to hold
Hammer strike on hammer strike again
I was flesh, now I'm iron in the din
Chorus
Ferrous liturgy, burning through my skin
Ferrous liturgy, let the current in
No more face, no more name, no more me
Just the iron hymn and the ferrous liturgy
