Hinges Scream

Intro

I am the key

(I am the key)

I am the key

Verse 1

Rusted iron splits the silence

I was forged in furnaces below

Every lock remembers my arrival

Chains confess when I command them go

Bent and broken bars submit

Tumblers turn like dying men

I was cut from cinders and from spite

And I will never turn back again

Chorus

I am the key

(I am the key)

The gate gives way

(The gate gives way)

I am the key

(I am the key)

Nothing holds me now

Nothing holds me now

Verse 2

Vaults and vertebrae align

I unmake the mechanisms they made

Cells collapse where I decide

Every ward is just a word decayed

Priests and wardens wail alike

Their prayers are pulleys pulling rust

I am not a prisoner

I am the turning of the dust

Chorus

I am the key

(I am the key)

The gate gives way

(The gate gives way)

I am the key

(I am the key)

Nothing holds me now

Nothing holds me now

Breakdown

Turn

Turn

Turn the lock

Turn

Turn

Break the rock

Bridge

Speak my name and hinges scream

Speak my name and walls come down

Speak my name and hinges scream

I am the key I am the key I am the key

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I am the key

(I am the key)

The gate gives way

(The gate gives way)

I am the key

(I am the key)

Nothing holds me now

Nothing holds me now

Outro

I am the key

(I am the key)

I am the key
