Lyrics
[Intro] Ash gathers on the iron gate The bell has lost its tongue [Verse 1] You found me where the furnaces cool With a hammer mark across my hand I carried every unpaid debt Like black ore from a ruined land You said, “stand up, the ground is split” I heard the old foundations move A little fire beneath the stone A little truth i couldn't lose [Pre-Chorus] When the weight comes down I will not bow [Chorus] Raise the tower, let it ring Give the buried heart a wing Through the smoke and broken stone I will make this burden mine alone Raise the tower, wide and tall Let the fallen hear it call If the dark demands my name I will answer it with flame [Verse 2] The river runs beneath the mill Cold as a blade against the wheel I saw your face in oily rain And knew the wound was starting to heal No crown was waiting at the end No hand to pull me from the flood Just every scar i chose to keep And iron turning back to blood [Pre-Chorus] When the weight comes down I will not bow [Chorus] Raise the tower, let it ring Give the buried heart a wing Through the smoke and broken stone I will make this burden mine alone Raise the tower, wide and tall Let the fallen hear it call If the dark demands my name I will answer it with flame [Bridge] You can seal the doors You can chain the gears You can count the years But i am still here [Final chorus] Raise the tower, let it ring Give the buried heart a wing Through the smoke and broken stone I will make this burden mine alone Raise the tower, wide and tall Let the fallen hear it call If the dark demands my name I will answer it with flame [Outro] Ash gathers on the iron gate But now the bell has sung
