Iron Throne Thaws

The war is over. Watch the official music video for Iron Throne Thaws. A cinematic journey of an exhausted medieval warrior who lays down her sword, sails across the sea, and leaves her heavy iron armor behind to find quiet peace. Verse 1] I built this empire out of frozen stone And sat in silence on an iron throne I wore the heavy crown of bitter years And forged my armor from a thousand tears They taught me how to strike, how to be cold To rule with iron and let the heart grow old I was the winter, ruthless and severe A sovereign master of the quiet fear [Pre-Chorus] But the war is over, the banners are torn I’m tired of the battles, I’m tired of the thorn The silence is calling, the shadows release I’m trading the vengeance for a solitary peace [Chorus] I’m laying down the sword, I’m letting it fall I’m tearing down the bricks of this obsidian wall The empress is weary of the blood and the rust I’m leaving the armor to fade in the dust Beneath the cold metal, a heartbeat remains Washing the battlefield out of my veins I am strong enough to let the fortress break And feel the gentle waters of the calm awake [Verse 2] It takes a titan to weather the fight To stand as a monolith blocking the light But it takes a warrior to open the door And walk away from the ashes of war I step to the river, I wash off the ash I silence the thunder, the heavy steel clash I’m learning to breathe in the quiet again To let the soft rain wash away the dark stain [Pre-Chorus] The war is over, the banners are torn I’m tired of the battles, I’m tired of the thorn The silence is calling, the shadows release I’m trading the vengeance for a solitary peace [Chorus] I’m laying down the sword, I’m letting it fall I’m tearing down the bricks of this obsidian wall The empress is weary of the blood and the rust I’m leaving the armor to fade in the dust Beneath the cold metal, a heartbeat remains Washing the battlefield out of my veins I am strong enough to let the fortress break And feel the gentle waters of the calm awake [Bridge] They think to be soft is to bow and submit But they don’t know the courage it takes to admit That the highest command, the ultimate grace Is finding your soul in a quiet space! I’m taking the crown off my head! I’m waking the girl they thought was dead! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I’m laying down the sword, I’m letting it fall I’m tearing down the bricks of this obsidian wall The empress is weary of the blood and the rust I’m leaving the armor to fade in the dust Beneath the cold metal, a heartbeat remains Washing the battlefield out of my veins I am strong enough to let the fortress break And feel the gentle waters of the calm awake [Outro] No more iron. No more stone. Just the beating heart. Finally home. The ice is melting. The empress rests.
