Iron Halo

[Verse 1]
[M]
I came in bruised, with the chain still warm
Palm full of ash from the house I’d sworn
[F]
You said my name like a blade on glass
Now I bite back slow, let the red run past

[M]
Floorboards shake when I take that step
Heavy in the chest like a promise kept
[F]
I wore my scars like a crown of thorns
You saw the storm, then you fed it more

[Pre-Chorus]
[M]
Now the walls lean in
[F]
And the dark wants more
[M]
I hear your voice in the crack of the war
[F]
Say it again, make me want it more

[Chorus]
[Both]
Burn, burn, iron halo
We rise through the pain we know
Burn, burn, iron halo
You pull, I break, I glow
[M]
Hold that line
[F]
Hold that line
[Both]
Burn, burn, iron halo

[Verse 2]
[F]
I traced your fear in the smoke and sparks
Found your old lies hidden under marks
[M]
You talk real hard when the room goes still
But I built my spine from a deeper will

[F]
Blood on the floor from a long goodbye
Still I keep my head where the wild things fly
[M]
I don’t chase ghosts, I cut clean through
Every scar I keep says I outgrew you

[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
Now the walls lean in
[M]
And the dark wants more
[F]
I hear your voice in the crack of the war
[M]
Say it again, make me want it more

[Chorus]
[Both]
Burn, burn, iron halo
We rise through the pain we know
Burn, burn, iron halo
You pull, I break, I glow
[F]
Hold that line
[M]
Hold that line
[Both]
Burn, burn, iron halo

[Bridge]
[M]
If I fall, I fall like thunder
[F]
If I bleed, I make it mean something
[M]
Take the fear and split it under
[F]
I was never yours to keep
[Both]
No, never yours to keep

[Final Chorus]
[Both]
Burn, burn, iron halo
We rise through the pain we know
Burn, burn, iron halo
You pull, I break, I glow
[M]
Hold that line
[F]
Hold that line
[Both]
Burn, burn, iron halo
