[Verse 1]
They built a throne on bone and glass
Sold you the lock and called it class
Stamped your name on an iron chain
Fed you fear and called it rain
The masks all grin from every screen
While the street grows old and mean
Clueless hands on their own last rope
Still begging chains like they mean hope
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that drum in the blacked-out square
Boots in the dust, and they’re coming there
One more lie and the walls will crack
One more spark and the night looks back
[Chorus]
Black iron sky!
Wake up, wake up, now
Black iron sky!
Break the leash, break it down
They stole your fire
Now take it back
Black iron sky!
We’re cutting through the black
[Verse 2]
Evil wears a velvet face
Sits in church with a perfect grace
Feeds on weak and thirsty minds
Turns your brothers into blindfolded swine
They sell you guilt, they sell you blame
Then light the match and point your shame
But I see chains in the polished halls
And I hear truth in the rebel calls
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that drum in the blacked-out square
Boots in the dust, and they’re coming there
One more lie and the walls will crack
One more spark and the night looks back
[Chorus]
Black iron sky!
Wake up, wake up, now
Black iron sky!
Break the leash, break it down
They stole your fire
Now take it back
Black iron sky!
We’re cutting through the black
[Bridge]
No crown survives a million fists
No dark god lives when the blade still lifts
If they want fear, give them fury
If they want silence, make it burn
From the gutters to the gold-tiled rooms
Every rotten lie gets dragged to doom
Raise your scars like battle flags
And drag the beast back to the ash
[Final Chorus]
Black iron sky!
Wake up, wake up, now
Black iron sky!
Break the leash, break it down
They stole your fire
Now take it back
Black iron sky!
We’re cutting through the black
Black iron sky!
Wake up, wake up, now
Black iron sky!
Break the leash, break it down
They stole your fire
Now take it back
Black iron sky!
We’re cutting through the black
