Iron Ritual

Verse 1

Spun the story thin

Hiding every bruise she painted

I was bones and bad complexion

Watching while the colors faded

Always called me small

Like I was a shadow

Standing in the back of the hallway

Pre-Chorus

But the silence started fueling the fire

Hungry for the climb

Built the temple out of nothing but iron

Checking every time

Chorus

Now you are knocking at a closed gate

Look at the shoulder and the stone face

Yeah I am unrecognizable

Body like a ritual

Now you are knocking at a closed gate

Watching how the table starts to rotate

Moving like a miracle

Something you can never hold

Verse 2

Lifted up the shame

Left it on the rubber matting

Broadened out the chest

Better than the life you are acting

Did not think I could

Heavy breathing turned to heavy metal

Now I am the prize you can't reach

Walking through the dust you settled

Pre-Chorus

But the silence started fueling the fire

Hungry for the climb

Built the temple out of nothing but iron

Checking every time

Chorus

Now you are knocking at a closed gate

Look at the shoulder and the stone face

Yeah I am unrecognizable

Body like a ritual

Now you are knocking at a closed gate

Watching how the table starts to rotate

Moving like a miracle

Something you can never hold

Bridge

Too much muscle for your memory

Too much power for the way we used to be

I was barely there

Now I am everywhere

Look at the frame

Remember the name

Chorus

Now you are knocking at a closed gate

Look at the shoulder and the stone face

Yeah I am unrecognizable

Body like a ritual

Now you are knocking at a closed gate

Watching how the table starts to rotate

Moving like a miracle

Something you can never hold

Something you can never hold
