Lyrics/The Iron Nine

The Iron Nine

From Maw of the Eclipse · Track 3

[Verse 1] The iron in my marrow is all I have left. The world is a splintered throne, a kingdom bereft. I plant my feet in the dust where the walls used to be, There is no exit sign, there is no reprieve. Let the static of the maw choke the light from the moon, I am a sovereign in the dirt, rising from the gloom. The foxfire is screaming, but the iron is cold, I am the story that has already been told. [Chorus] Anchor the soul in the soot and the stain, Sovereign in dust, I will master the pain. The ninefold curse and the hammer are one, I won't stop bleeding till I look at the sun. Rise through the collapse, let the iron ignite, Sovereign in dust, I'm the Maw of the Night. Sovereign in dust, I'm the Maw of the Night. [Verse 2] They are shadows, they are illusions, they are smoke. I am the anchor, I am the spoke. They have teeth, they have hunger, they have hate. They have teeth, they have hunger, they have hate. I am the hammer, I am the gate. Screaming to the static, screaming to the skulk, Iron Nine remains in the hole and the hall. [Chorus] Anchor the soul in the soot and the stain, Sovereign in dust, I will master the pain. The ninefold curse and the hammer are one, I won't stop bleeding till I look at the sun. Rise through the collapse, let the iron ignite, Sovereign in dust, I'm the Maw of the Night. Sovereign in dust, I'm the Maw of the Night. [Outro] The iron remains.
