Iron Tyranny

Cold steel under my tongue The room learns how to breathe I

count the teeth in the turning wheel

Every spark leaves a mark I can feel

Boots on the grating,

time in a chain

I keep my name in the mouth of the frame No sky

in here, just a measured glow One more command and the engines

know Hold that line Lock that door Pressure climbing through the floor

If it breaks Let it show

I was built to take the blow

Iron in my lungs, I

rise

Red light in my eyes

When the whole machine decides I don't run,

I drive Iron in my lungs,

I rise Hear the grinding sky divide

If the system wants a fight

I come alive tonight Static on the rail,

heat in the seam Every vow sounds hard in a room like

this Hands blackened up from lifting the weight I learned real quick

what survives the shift You can stamp your code into the wall

Still the fault line answers when I call (ah) All that pressure

made me clear (ah) All that terror brought me here Cut the

power, leave the heat Watch my heart refuse defeat

Iron in my lungs,

I rise Red light in my

eyes When the whole machine decides I don't

run, I drive Iron in my lungs,

I rise If the system wants a fight I come alive tonight

Steel in my breath

Still alive
