Iron Crown of Erebus (Version 2)

Verse

Black glass ceiling, the whole room shakes

Crown of iron weighs on my spine

Hands up pressed to the steel beam wall

Tide comes in when the kick drops low

Sweat runs silver down a stranger's neck

Ribs lock in with the engine's beat

No name left here, only the frame

Erebus pulls us under his name

Pre-Chorus

Feel the crown climb from my collarbone

Floor turns solid beneath the feet

Every hand lifts, one single pulse

Iron reads what we keep and lose

Chorus

We wear the iron till the lights come up

Hands to the ceiling, don't stop until it's done

Erebus holds us under his crown

Move like one engine in this room

Verse

Bassline digs a furrow down my spine

Chain-link shadow on the wall climbs high

Sweat runs cold along the back of neck

Nobody's watching, we're not kept

Crown hums louder with every bar

Kick drum pulls us past the scar

Erebus doesn't care who wears it first

Tide moves in and swallows the earth

Pre-Chorus

Feel the crown climb from my collarbone

Floor turns solid beneath the feet

Every hand lifts, one single pulse

Iron reads what we keep and lose

Chorus

We wear the iron till the lights come up

Hands to the ceiling, don't stop until it's done

Erebus holds us under his crown

Move like one engine in this room

Bridge

Take off my name and take off my face

Leave only the rhythm inside the frame

No dawn breaks here, no door to break

Just iron pulling what we can't shake

Chain goes tighter round every chest

Erebus laughs where the silence rests

Chorus

We wear the iron till the lights come up

Hands to the ceiling, don't stop until it's done

Erebus holds us under his crown

Move like one engine in this room
