Cold Steel Gleam

Lyrics

Intro
Cold steel gleam
Cold steel gleam
Turn the key
Hear it breathe

Verse 1
I walked in through the seam
Rust on my tongue
Your name on the screen
Blinking and numb
The room kept score
Every scratch in the floor
Every old machine
Had my face before

Pre-Chorus
Hold it down
Hold it still
Something crawls
Under the grill
Metal skin
Paper veins
Say my name
Then break the chain

Chorus
Cold steel gleam
Cut me clean
Cold steel gleam
Make me scream
Lock me in
Let it ring
Cold steel gleam
Cold steel gleam

Verse 2
Needles in the wall
Counting my steps
A dent in the hall
That never forgets
I bit through the noise
Kept a black-eyed grin
Heard the gears reply
From the place within

Pre-Chorus
Hold it down
Hold it still
Something crawls
Under the grill
Metal skin
Paper veins
Say my name
Then break the chain

Chorus
Cold steel gleam
Cut me clean
Cold steel gleam
Make me scream
Lock me in
Let it ring
Cold steel gleam
Cold steel gleam

Bridge
I am the echo
Under your floor
I am the latch
On the hidden door
I am the pulse
In the broken wire
I am the hiss
Of a copied fire

Breakdown
Crush
Crush
Crush the line
Bend that frame
Mine
Mine
Mine is the grind
Say that name
(Cold steel gleam)
(Cold steel gleam)

Verse 3
Now the lights go red
On a face made of dust
I keep moving ahead
Out of rust, out of trust
If the walls come down
Let them fall on me
I was built for the sound
Of the iron sea

Pre-Chorus
Hold it down
Hold it still
Something crawls
Under the grill
Metal skin
Paper veins
Say my name
Then break the chain

Chorus
Cold steel gleam
Cut me clean
Cold steel gleam
Make me scream
Lock me in
Let it ring
Cold steel gleam
Cold steel gleam

Outro
Cold steel gleam
Fade to black
Cold steel gleam
Coming back
Cold steel gleam
In my teeth
Cold steel gleam
Beneath the breach
