Dawnbreaker Songtext
von Fellowship

I know the Iron sky could 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
Makes him 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 timber
My wooden soul will keep it strong and keep it hidden
My courage ebbs and smoulders as it does in every one 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 (iron sky will never stop this light)
Won't stop my 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 (light decays against the dying days)
These dying days leave a mark (I′ll let its warm embrace upon my heart engrave)
My skin is steel under darker skies, iron eyes
