[Verse 1]
I walked through ash and rain
With a cracked black banner
Names burned in my hands
Like a vow I could not scatter
The gate stood tall and cold
But I held my ground
With a scar across my pride
And thunder all around
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the engines rise
Hear the old world quake
I was born for this fire
I was built to break
[Chorus]
Rise, iron crown
Rise, iron crown
I will not bow down
I will wear it now
Rise, iron crown
Rise, iron crown
When the night comes down
I still stand my ground
[Verse 2]
Seven hills in the dark
And a sky full of banners
Steel on every tongue
And wolves in the canyons
I saw the kings collapse
In their gold and blame
Then I lit my way
With a stolen flame
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the engines rise
Hear the old world quake
I was born for this fire
I was built to break
[Chorus]
Rise, iron crown
Rise, iron crown
I will not bow down
I will wear it now
Rise, iron crown
Rise, iron crown
When the night comes down
I still stand my ground
[Bridge]
Take the blade
Take the scar
Take the road that broke me
I went too far
I came back hard
Now the storm will know me
[Final Chorus]
Rise, iron crown
Rise, iron crown
I will not bow down
I will wear it now
Rise, iron crown
Rise, iron crown
When the night comes down
I still stand my ground
Rise, iron crown
Rise, iron crown
I will not bow down
I will wear it now
