Iron Blood

Steel don't rise and engines roar

Chrome nights storm the furnace floor

We stand up, we do not bend

Bolt by bolt, we break the end

Ash on the cuffs, grease on our hands

Half-lit bay and a row of cans

The radio hisses, gives us bad news

We kick it dead and lace up our boots

Iron blood

Let it run hot iron blood

Take the shot when the last weak signal fades

We march through the sparks we made

We march through the sparks we made

Foundry drums under concrete feet

Old tin doors and the smell of heat

Every dent tells where we were hit

Still here, still loud, still in it

Iron blood, locked and loaded

Iron blood, warcoat coated

Raise your fist, let the gears grind on

Until the enemy's gone

until the enemy's gone

You can't stall what we already built

Chain rattles loose, then the tables tilt

No prayers, no polish, no clean escape

Just a red line cut through the gate

Iron

let it run hot

Iron blood, take the shot

When the last week's signal fades

We march through the sparks we made

Iron blood, locked and loaded

Iron blood, war cold-coated

Raise your fists, let the gears grind on

Until the enemy's gone

If the lights blow out, we know the route

By the weld marks, by the shout

If the floor gives way, we keep our feet

We were raised on noise and

Iron blood, let it run hot

Iron blood, take the shot

When the last weak signal fades

We march through the sparks we made

Iron blood, locked and loaded

Iron blood, warcoat coated

Raise your fists, let the gears grind on

Until the enemy's
