Break the Bedrock

Lyrics

[Intro] Stone splits beneath the iron rain A buried engine wakes again [Verse 1] Black ore grinds in the furnace throat Rust runs red where the cold rivers choke I drive the wedge through the fault-line seam And drag the buried teeth from the machine [Pre-Chorus] No crown, no mercy, no turning back The mountain answers with a cracking black [Chorus] Break the bedrock—let the deep ones rise Crush the last gate under iron skies From the river trench to the furnace floor We are the weight that the walls can’t hold [Verse 2] The foundry bell splits the winter air Ash coats the hands that were never spared A chain goes slack; the old locks burst The ground gives way, and the earth speaks first [Bridge] Down through the shale Past bone and flame We carve our passage We take no name [Breakdown] Sink the teeth Split the stone Bring the buried world Up to the throne [Final Chorus] Break the bedrock—let the deep ones rise Crush the last gate under iron skies From the river trench to the furnace floor We are the weight that the walls can’t hold [Outro] Stone splits The deep ones rise
