Songtext zu 'Iron Strengthens Iron' von Dyscarnate

Be it a bone or a broken staff
Crush hopes, make a shell of a man
Cut down to the scars on our knees
I see you traitor!

Bound wounds packed with salt and clay
Drown in ash to take the taste away
Forged, crushed, forced to kneel
Torn nerves replaced with twisted steel

Another throne, our broken path
Lead her steady, hold her fast
Steeds track through the crimson waves
Guided by the blade

She's nervous, trapped behind the lines
Of fear and filth and butchered lives
A trigger in the hands of minds
Too young for graves to bind

Divide the weak, spread suffering, dismay
Be steady, hold all our restraint

A storm of swords will rain upon the backs of broken men
For us they pray, scattered in the aftermath
Another bridge won't save the trust we stripped from our first born
This will won't break, as iron strengthens iron

Before dawn breaks the night we push on through the fog
A place where cowards thrive and good men die like dogs

Bite the tongue until you can't ignore
Blood in the mouth beats blood on the floor
Weed out the weak to keep the bloodline pure
Claw the lungs until they breathe no more

A chalice held toward the sun to appease the hands that bind
Our collective inner toil, spill poison on the mind
We're strengthened by iron, reduced to tears by pen
I throw my hands deep into filth to find myself again

Divide the weak, spread suffering, dismay
Be steady, hold all our restraint

Prepare yourselves!
For a storm of swords to rain upon the backs of men
For us they pray, scattered in the aftermath
Another bridge won't save the trust we stripped from our first born
This will won't break, as iron strengthens iron
