Iron lace

[Verse 1]
I wore the ash like silk
On the edge of your blade
You called my name in iron
I let the old sky fade

Black thread on my wrists
Cold dust on my tongue
I walked through your warning
And came out unsung

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear me rise
Hear me break
Soft at first
Then quake

[Chorus]
Iron lace
Pull me in
Iron lace
Let me burn
Iron lace
I don’t bend
(iron lace)
I don’t learn

[Verse 2]
You built your throne from mirrors
I saw my face in shards
I kissed the bruise you left me
And wore it like a charm

Feet in the mud, head high
Bloodbeat under my skin
I’ve got the choir in my chest now
Let the dark ride in

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear me rise
Hear me break
Soft at first
Then quake

[Chorus]
Iron lace
Pull me in
Iron lace
Let me burn
Iron lace
I don’t bend
(iron lace)
I don’t learn

[Bridge]
[Whispered]
Say my name
Watch me turn

[Female Octave Harmony]
Saint and sinner
Same red wound

[Shouted Ad-libs]
Hold the line
Hold the line

[Final Chorus]
Iron lace
Pull me in
Iron lace
Let me burn
Iron lace
I don’t bend
(iron lace)
I don’t learn

Iron lace
In my throat
Iron lace
In my bones
Iron lace
I’m still here
(iron lace)
I’m still known
