Ferric Lungs

Intro

Iron breath in a fevered chest

Rust and smoke where the heart found rest

Ash in the throat and weight in bone

A body built to break alone

Verse 1

Iron breath in a fevered chest

Rust and smoke where the heart found rest

Every inhale tastes of war

A machine of meat that wants no more

Chorus

Ferric lungs

Breathe the blade

In the furnace of the body

We're remade

Ferric lungs

Cold and harsh

We exhale dust

Through the broken marsh

Verse 2

Ash in the throat and metal in the blood

Breathing through the flood and mud

Strike the spark and choke the flame

The body fails, but keeps the name

Bridge

No soft dawn for this machine

Only rust beneath the skin

Draw the breath, then let it die

Under iron, under sky

Final Chorus

Ferric lungs

Breathe the blade

In the furnace of the body

We're remade

Ferric lungs

Cold and harsh

We exhale dust

Through the broken marsh

Outro

Rust in the air

No breath remains

Ferric lungs

Forget their chains
