Ink and Iron

Chorus

Iron words upon the page

Sharp like a winter cage

Black ink on skin of deer

Holding everything we fear

Everything we fear

Verse 1

Needle points

Letters locked in lead and lines

Heavy hinges creek

I search for all the hidden signs

Pre-Chorus

Binding cloth and bitter bone

Waiting here alone

Silence is a stone

Chorus

Iron words upon the page

Sharp like a winter cage

Black ink on skin of deer

Holding everything we fear

Everything we fear

Post-Chorus

Ah-la-la-la

Ah-la-la-la

In the hall of gold

Verse 2

Cold script

Quills scratch the parchment paper thin

Ancient anger

Rising from the ink within

Pre-Chorus

Binding cloth and bitter bone

Waiting here alone

Silence is a stone

Chorus

Iron words upon the page

Sharp like a winter cage

Black ink on skin of deer

Holding everything we fear

Everything we fear

Bridge

Read the mark

Read the brand

Read the mind

The book is open

The seal is broken

Words unspoken

Chorus

Iron words upon the page

Sharp like a winter cage

Black ink on skin of deer

Holding everything we fear

Everything we fear
