[Verse 1]
Sit down, old man,
hands on the table.
I know your name
from the lock and the label.
Your knuckles are maps
of every hard choice.
Your mouth is a knife,
but I hear the boy’s voice.

You wore your regret
like a coat in the rain.
Now the stone in your chest
won’t carry that weight.
The cell has a way
of telling the truth.
It strips off the grin
and it leaves you with you.

[Pre-Chorus]
Look at the mirror.
Look at the cracks.
Every goodbye
keeps coming back.
You built that wall
one lie at a time.
Now the years in your bones
won’t do your crimes.

[Chorus]
Metal heart,
rusted in time.
Beats slower
and slower these last times.
Metal heart,
rusted in time.
Beats slower
and slower these last times.
(heart rusted in time)

[Verse 2]
I’ve seen men like you
with a tongue made of smoke,
talking big in the yard,
then they choke on the joke.
You can scare the weak,
you can slam every door,
but the night in your head
still wants something more.

You count every day
like a nail in the wall.
You count every face
that you failed, one and all.
The dust in your lungs,
the ash in your name,
they don’t need a verdict
to tell you the same.

[Pre-Chorus]
Look at the mirror.
Look at the cracks.
Every goodbye
keeps coming back.
You built that wall
one lie at a time.
Now the years in your bones
won’t do your crimes.

[Chorus]
Metal heart,
rusted in time.
Beats slower
and slower these last times.
Metal heart,
rusted in time.
Beats slower
and slower these last times.
(heart rusted in time)

[Bridge]
When the flood comes in,
all kings kneel low.
When the chain goes slack,
the whole world knows.
You can curse the dark,
you can spit at the wall,
but the body gives out
and the proud ones fall.

So tell me the truth
with your last clean breath:
was it power you wanted,
or just fear of death?
Now the iron is thin,
now the cold comes through.
Even hell gets quiet
when it’s done with you.

[Final Chorus]
Metal heart,
rusted in time.
Beats slower
and slower these last times.
Metal heart,
rusted in time.
Beats slower
and slower these last times.
Metal heart,
rusted in time.
No more fire left to climb.
(heart rusted in time)
