[Verse 1]
Stone on stone, we rise
Under a red-lit dome
Hands in the ash, still warm
Hearts made of iron and snow
Boots on the frozen floor
Names carved deep in steel
We came from the dark to stand
We came to never kneel
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that thunder roll
Through the ribs of the hall
Old songs wake the blood
And the walls answer all
[Chorus]
Rise, iron cathedral
Rise up and stand
Rise, iron cathedral
With fire in the hand
Rise, iron cathedral
Let the old bells ring
Rise, iron cathedral
We are made to sing
[Verse 2]
Ash in the lantern glass
Smoke in the winter air
Black coats, white-knuckled faith
Marching like we don’t care
Cold wind cuts our faces
Still we keep the line
Every scar a banner
Every wound a sign
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that thunder roll
Through the ribs of the hall
Old songs wake the blood
And the walls answer all
[Chorus]
Rise, iron cathedral
Rise up and stand
Rise, iron cathedral
With fire in the hand
Rise, iron cathedral
Let the old bells ring
Rise, iron cathedral
We are made to sing
[Bridge]
[Organ swell]
When the night comes down
And the fear gets loud
We keep the flame alive
We keep it proud
[Final Chorus]
Rise, iron cathedral
Rise up and stand
Rise, iron cathedral
With fire in the hand
Rise, iron cathedral
Let the old bells ring
Rise, iron cathedral
We are made to sing
