Iron at the gate—won’t let me in

Текст песни:

[Intro]
(Echoed drum rolls, industrial whirring)
[Whispered]
Stone on stone—marches begin

[Verse 1]
I see you on the rampart
Watching the pulse of the road
Metal lines through the frost
A voice—counting what I owe
Bagpipes mourn through greying steam
Old commands in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
You say—stand, don’t cross
I listen—will I pass?
(la la, low whispers)

[Chorus]
Iron at the gate—won’t let me in
Hold tight—don’t show your hand
Echoes—drumming out my doubt
Still you wait
Iron at the gate
(oh—oh)

[Post-Chorus]
Echoes riding, (la la la), echoes riding

[Verse 2]
You measure names in rust
Torchlight—smears of cold
I never meet your gaze
You add another toll
Steel patience, day breaking
I pretend—a bold face

[Bridge]
[Bagpipes rise, drums crash — whispered ad libs]

[Chorus]
Iron at the gate—won’t let me in
Hold tight—don’t show your hand
Echoes—drumming out my doubt
Still you wait
Iron at the gate
(oh—oh, oh)

[Post-Chorus]
(Echo layered) Iron—at—the—gate
(la la la la)

[Solo]
[Industrial stabs, bagpipe melody, distant marching sounds]

[Outro]
[Whispered]
Always the watcher
Never the door
