[Intro]
[low vocal register]Iron sky
Air tastes like rust
Trumpets cry
But they promise blood[whispered] not mercy
[Verse 1]
Boot prints burning in the sand
Holy name carved on his hand
Banner torn
Ash in his hair
Heaven’s flag in open war glare
Male voice:
“I was patient
I was kind
Watched you crucify the signs
Now the lamb has left the throne
Only steel
Only stone”
Female voice:
“Every prayer you turned to smoke
Every vow a broken joke
Hear the oath in grinding teeth
Judgment marches underneath”
[Chorus]
Sword of the final dawn
Peace is over
The quiet’s gone
Heaven splits
The fire rains
Grace gives way to iron chains
Sword of the final dawn
Hearts like wheat before the storm
Mercy’s river running dry
Now he rides and kingdoms die
[Verse 2]
Male voice:
See the cities built on bones
Golden towers
Rotting homes
All your tyrants dressed in white
Now they choke on their own light
Female voice:
“I was knocking at your gate
You were busy crowning hate
Now the book is closing fast
Every first will be the last”
Both:
No more gentle
Painted cross
Only banners
Battle-tossed
Every lie that wore a crown
Meets the steel that cuts it down
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[spoken
Male] “Do you still call this peace?”
[spoken
Female] “This is the peace of an ended war”
[growled]Blades sing psalms in scarlet rain
Crowds roar hymns of smoke and flame
Hands once folded now in chains
Yet the sky feels clean again[clean female vocal]
For the widow
For the child
For the broken
Running wild
For the nameless left to rot
He carves justice through the rot
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
