Iron Chapel

[Verse 1] Black water in the bowl Cold ash on my tongue I kneel where the roots go deep And the old names come undone Stone teeth in the earth I hear them grind below Your shadow at the doorway Moves like a wounded crow [Pre-Chorus] Hold the flame Hold it low The blood in the cedar Starts to glow [Chorus] Iron chapel, call my name Iron chapel, feed the flame Under the drum, under the rain We rise in smoke We rise in pain [Verse 2] Three nails in the cloth Three bones in the fire The women in the darkness Scream higher and higher Mud on the boots Salt on the skin I followed the mourning road Now let the night begin [Pre-Chorus] Hold the flame Hold it high The wolves at the treeline Know why we die [Chorus] Iron chapel, call my name Iron chapel, feed the flame Under the drum, under the rain We rise in smoke We rise in pain [Bridge] Open the gate Let the cold in Let the old grief Wear my skin [Chorus] Iron chapel, call my name Iron chapel, feed the flame Under the drum, under the rain We rise in smoke We rise in pain
