Sanctuary Iron Will

[Verse 1]
From the old bridge smoke
To the cratered lane
He walked in the ash
With a patched-up name
Minutemen on his coat
And the weight of the dead
Every broken doorway
He put hope ahead

[Verse 2]
Raiders on the ridge
And the panic in the square
He stood where the sirens
Tore the night in half there
Fed the cold with fire
Gave the lost a place
Now the townsfolk say
He’s got a leader’s face

[Pre-Chorus]
And the walls got higher
When the danger came
But he held that line
And he called their names
From Sanctuary
He rose through the pain
Now the whole wasteland
Knows the shape of his aim

[Chorus]
Iron will, iron will
Hold the line, stand still
Sanctuary’s calling
And he won’t bend, he never will
Iron will, iron will
By the people, for the kill? no
By the people, through the fire
He’s the one they trust to build

[Verse 3]
Now he stands on the steps
With the flag in his hand
Not a lord of ruins
Just a hard-earned man
Says the farms need water
And the roads need light
Says we bury old fear
And we face the night

[Pre-Chorus]
And the radio hums
Across the broken plain
One voice, one promise
Through the ash and rain
From Sanctuary
To every wounded street
He’s got the common folk
Marching on their feet

[Chorus]
Iron will, iron will
Hold the line, stand still
Sanctuary’s calling
And he won’t bend, he never will
Iron will, iron will
By the people, through the fire
He’s the one they trust to build

[Bridge]
Let the storms come down
Let the old world glare
He don’t wear a crown
He just shows up there
With a steady hand
And a soldier’s grace
Now the future starts
In a safer place

[Final Chorus]
Iron will, iron will
Hold the line, stand still
Sanctuary’s calling
And he won’t bend, he never will
Iron will, iron will
Hear the whole town singing it
By the people, through the fire
He’s the one they trust to build
