Iron Land

Sanoitukset

[Intro] One pair of boots on a broken road Ash in the wind, iron in the cold No banner left, no hand to guide I carry the line on the inside [Verse 1] The pass is narrow, the ravine runs black A thousand teeth wait beyond my back My water is low, my blade is worn But I was built for the killing storm They marked the ground with a stranger's name They lit the hills and called it flame I hear the hunt through the splintered pines Still every step of this road is mine [Pre-Chorus] If the earth gives way, I climb If the gate comes down, I break the line [Chorus] I run alone through the iron land No fear of the grave, no fear of the damned Test this heart, test these hands I will fight with all I am All I am [Verse 2] The rain cuts hard through the torn-up field A distant drum says the enemy's near My lungs burn deep, my vision narrows I make my shelter beneath their arrows No promise waits at the end of the trail No saint will come when the strong ones fail Let the mountain judge what I became I would rather burn than surrender my name [Pre-Chorus] If the night takes fire, I see If they come for blood, they answer me [Chorus] I run alone through the iron land No fear of the grave, no fear of the damned Test this heart, test these hands I will fight with all I am All I am [Bridge] Break my shield, I still have bone Take my sword, I still have stone Strip the light from the road ahead I will crawl where the brave men tread I do not ask the sky for mercy I do not kneel before the end When the final gate is standing open I meet the dark as a soldier, not a friend [Breakdown] Come and test me! Come and test me! Every scar is a promise kept Every breath is a battle left [Final Chorus] I run alone through the iron land No fear of the grave, no fear of the damned Test this heart, test these hands I will fight with all I am I run alone and I won't turn back One living spark on a dead-black track If the whole world draws its blade I will stand in the ruin I made [Outro] One pair of boots when the war is done Still moving hard beneath a dying sun No fear, no plea, no borrowed flame I leave this land with my unbroken name
