Verse 1
They placed an iron crown on me,
Said, "Fight for faith and victory."
With a sword held high against the sky,
I left my home without asking why.
Castles rose through winter air,
But peace was never waiting there.
Every battle that I won
Left another piece of me undone.
Pre-Chorus
The church bells echoed through the rain,
But heaven never spoke my name.
Then across a crowded square,
Your eyes found mine for just one prayer.
Chorus
Under this iron crown I stand,
Reaching for your distant hand.
If we've loved through lives before,
Why does fate still close the door?
Steel may break and kingdoms fall,
Time will outlive every wall.
When this life is burning down,
You'll remember... not the crown.
Verse 2
The years turned silver in my hair,
Still I felt your presence there.
A healer dressed in shades of blue,
For one brief moment... I knew it was you.
You touched the scars upon my skin,
Like you'd seen where they had been.
Before I found the words to say,
The war stole you away.
Pre-Chorus
Snow covered every bloodstained road,
Silence carried every hope.
Still the stars above would shine,
As if they knew you'd still be mine.
Chorus
Under this iron crown I stand,
Reaching for your distant hand.
If we've loved through lives before,
Why does fate still close the door?
Steel may break and kingdoms fall,
Time will outlive every wall.
When this life is burning down,
You'll remember... not the crown.
Bridge
I don't pray for kingdoms now,
Or promises they never found.
I only ask the endless sky
To let our souls meet by and by.
If I wake with another name,
May your heart still know my flame.
Across the centuries we'll roam,
Until your heartbeat calls me home.
Final Chorus
Lay this iron crown to rest,
Love has always known me best.
When my final breath is gone,
Our story will keep carrying on.
Every lifetime, every dawn,
Find me where the stars are drawn.
No throne, no war, no destiny
Will keep your soul from finding me.
Outro
Another life...
Another name...
The same two hearts...
Searching again...
