"Dawnbreaker" lyrics

I know the iron sky
Will never stop this light
Not when the dawn is strong
Enough to break the heart of night
Someday the sun will melt these iron eyes

Sometimes I think I might have seen too much
My iris aches for a human touch
I've watched a thousand little lives pass here
The dark imprints, the horror sears

Sometimes I think I might have borne too much
My shoulders ache, my alloy rusts
My legs are armoured by the scars and tears
But I know too my body is getting there

I'm made of memories and bronze and scrap
My bones are silver and my eyes are black
I am the armour and the sheath and in
Your fire I forge my skin

I know the iron sky
Could never stop this light
Not when these wings of purpose
Beat against the night
My eyes, they gleam and glimmer as I testify

So as the light decays
Against the dying days
I'll let its warm embrace
Upon my heart engrave
A mark, my skin is steel under darker skies, iron eyes

Upon the roots I lay my path ahead...
The seedlings bloom, under tar and dread
But still I stand beneath a tree that bears
The scars of a wasteland, a life repaired

Under my armour lies an unknown thing
The blood writes its songs and its ardor sings
Maxim invulnerable, but self-impaired
No one ever loved without first being scared

I'm made of memories and bronze and scrap
My bones are silver and my eyes are black
I am the armour and the sheath and in
Your fire I forge my skin

I know the iron sky
Could never stop this light
Not when these wings of purpose
Beat against the night
My eyes, they gleam and glimmer as I testify

So as the light decays
Against the dying days
I'll let its warm embrace
Upon my heart engrave
A mark, my skin is steel under darker skies, iron eyes

Truth comes as porcelain, a fragile friend
To hide within our timbers
My wooden soul will keep it strong and keep it hidden

My courage ebbs and smoulders
As it does in everyone of us...
I pray it burns right through my chest

I'm made of memories and bronze and scrap
My bones are silver and my eyes are black
I am the armour and the sheath and in
Your fire I forge my skin...
The fire beats the sin

I know the iron sky
Will never stop this light
Not when the dawn is strong
Enough to break the heart of night
Someday the sun will melt these iron eyes

I know the iron sky
Will never stop this light
Not when these wings of purpose
Beat against the night
My eyes, they gleam and glimmer as I testify

So as the light decays
Against the dying days
I'll let its warm embrace
Upon my heart engrave
A mark, my skin is steel under darker skies

I know the iron sky
Won't stop my light
My eyes, they gleam and glimmer as I testify

So as the light decays
These dying days leave a mark
My skin is steel under darker skies, iron eyes
