Iron Jaw

Lyrics

[Intro] Steel in the soil, fire in the lungs Count every heartbeat, here it comes [Verse 1] You built your walls from borrowed names Marked our backs and called it change But every lock has teeth that fail When enough hands pull the chain We learned the weight of empty rooms The taste of dust, the smell of fumes Now every scar becomes a map And every step says we come back [Pre-Chorus] No more waiting at the gate No more feeding your machine Raise the signal, seal our fate Tell me what you’re gonna do when we [Chorus] Rise up, break the frame Call every buried voice by name Stand tall, shoulder to shoulder We are the spark that won’t grow colder Rise up, let it ring No crown, no chain, no borrowed king When the last false tower falls We’ll be the ones who answer the call [Verse 2] The factory clock still cuts the air Blackened windows, nobody there We carry tools from hand to hand And build tomorrow where we stand Your warnings hang in rusted signs We read between the crooked lines A thousand boots across the floor One final march toward the door [Pre-Chorus] No more waiting at the gate No more feeding your machine Raise the signal, seal our fate Tell me what you’re gonna do when we [Chorus] Rise up, break the frame Call every buried voice by name Stand tall, shoulder to shoulder We are the spark that won’t grow colder Rise up, let it ring No crown, no chain, no borrowed king When the last false tower falls We’ll be the ones who answer the call [Bridge] If I fall, pull me through If you break, I’ll stand with you No retreat and no disguise We were born beneath these skies [Breakdown] One breath One step One line One fight Cut the wire Cross the mark Carry fire through the dark [Final Chorus] Rise up, break the frame Call every buried voice by name Stand tall, shoulder to shoulder We are the spark that won’t grow colder Rise up, let it ring No crown, no chain, no borrowed king When the last false tower falls We’ll be the ones who answer the call [Outro] Raise your hands, let the old world shake We’re still here, and we’re wide awake
