Iron Cathedral

[Verse 1]
I heard the chain gate cry
Under the river of rain
Your name on the chapel wall
Black ink in the stone again

My hands are smoke and steel
My mouth is full of ash
I came here looking for grace
Found only teeth and glass

[Pre-Chorus]
Lift me up
Let it break
I can feel the old bones shake
Say my name
Call me back
From the dust and the iron track

[Chorus]
Burn the iron down
Burn it down, burn it down
We were made for the sound
Made to rise, made to pound

Burn the iron down
Burn it down, burn it down
Hear the choir come around
Hear it shake, hear it howl

[Verse 2]
The floorboards drum in time
With the heel of your grief
White candles split the dark
Like a knife through the teeth

I wore your curse like a crown
I wore it all night long
Now every wound in my chest
Turns into a battle song

[Pre-Chorus]
Lift me up
Let it break
I can feel the old bones shake
Say my name
Call me back
From the dust and the iron track

[Chorus]
Burn the iron down
Burn it down, burn it down
We were made for the sound
Made to rise, made to pound

Burn the iron down
Burn it down, burn it down
Hear the choir come around
Hear it shake, hear it howl

[Bridge]
Kneel, then stand
With mud on your hands
I was lost in the smoke
Now I know where I land

One voice, then a crown
One spark in the ground
When the night bites hard
We go under, we go loud

[Final Chorus]
Burn the iron down
Burn it down, burn it down
We were made for the sound
Made to rise, made to pound

Burn the iron down
Burn it down, burn it down
Hear the choir come around
Hear it shake, hear it howl

Burn the iron down
Burn it down, burn it down
We were born in the ground
Now we lift, now we shout
