Iron Remains

[Intro]
[Verse]
The smokestacks quit their breathing
The sky is turning grey
I’m staring at the ceiling
Wishing it away
My boots are caked in red clay
The mill has lost its soul
Is this the price we pay
For losing all control?
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m packing up the truck tonight
Or staying for the fight
The silence is a heavy weight
Deciding on my fate
[Chorus]
Burn the blueprint down
This was our holy ground
Now the rust is all that’s left
Of every dream we kept
I’m screaming at the empty air
Is there a hope out there?
Yeah, we’re still standing tall
Waiting for the wall to fall
[Post-Chorus]
Waiting for the wall
To finally fall
[Verse]
The tavern door is boarded
The main street’s gone to seed
Everything we hoarded
Is everything we need
My father’s ghost is calling
From the hollow of the hill
The empire is falling
And everything is still
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m packing up the truck tonight
Or staying for the fight
The silence is a heavy weight
Deciding on my fate
[Chorus]
Burn the blueprint down
This was our holy ground
Now the rust is all that’s left
Of every dream we kept
I’m screaming at the empty air
Is there a hope out there?
Yeah, we’re still standing tall
Waiting for the wall to fall
[Bridge]
Cold wind through the rebar
Scars upon my palms
Looking for a North Star
Singing broken psalms
If I leave I’m a traitor
If I stay I’m a ghost
See you all much later
To the things I loved the most
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Burn the blueprint down
This was our holy ground
Now the rust is all that’s left
Of every dream we kept
I’m screaming at the empty air
Is there a hope out there?
Yeah, we’re still standing tall
Waiting for the wall to fall
[Hook]
It’s all falling down
In this hollow town
Yeah, we’re still standing tall
Waiting for the wall to fall
[Outro]
