Steel and Claws

Chorus

First we fought for the crown

Blood staining the dust

Then we laid the weapons down

Broken hearts into trust

Now we roar at the moon

Claws dragging the tiles

Midnight comes way too soon

Tearing down the miles

I hunt with you

I bleed for you

Verse 1

Swords crossed at the river bank

You were lightning in a storm

Sharp metal and bitter rank

Hostility kept us warm

Under the cedar trees

Hate shifted to a touch

Trembling on the knees

Giving back way too much

Pre-Chorus

A poison in the cup

Drinking shadows dry

Waking the hunger up

Saying goodbye to the sky

Chorus

First we fought for the crown

Blood staining the dust

Then we laid the weapons down

Broken hearts into trust

Now we roar at the moon

Claws dragging the tiles

Midnight comes way too soon

Tearing down the miles

I hunt with you

I bleed for you

Verse 2

Skin shedding in the dark

The curse has taken hold

Electric jagged spark

Silver turning into gold

Howl rising in my chest

Two beasts in the hall

We failed the holy test

Watching the embers fall

Pre-Chorus

A poison in the cup

Drinking shadows dry

Waking the hunger up

Saying goodbye to the sky

Chorus

First we fought for the crown

Blood staining the dust

Then we laid the weapons down

Broken hearts into trust

Now we roar at the moon

Claws dragging the tiles

Midnight comes way too soon

Tearing down the miles

I hunt with you

I bleed for you

Bridge

Used to hate your name

Now I crave your heat

Caught inside the same

Fate that can't be beat

Chorus

First we fought for the crown

Blood staining the dust

Then we laid the weapons down

Broken hearts into trust

Now we roar at the moon

Claws dragging the tiles

Midnight comes way too soon

Tearing down the miles

I hunt with you

I bleed for you
