Lyric

I don’t run with the shouting crowd

I don’t wear borrowed crowns

Every step cuts into the ground

This is the weight I carry now

Steel in my spine, fire in my chest

I don’t rise — I stand and test

IRON WEIGHT — on my back

I don’t break, I don’t crack

IRON WEIGHT — blood and bone

I carry this — alone

I’ve seen men burn just to shine

I’ve seen gold rot over time

No throne lifts me from the dirt

Every crown is paid in hurt

No blessing asked, no knee bent

This load is mine — and I meant it

IRON WEIGHT — on my back

I don’t bend, I don’t slack

IRON WEIGHT — flesh and stone

I carry this — alone

If this is power, feel the cost

Every gain is something lost

I don’t rule from up above

I stand below — and that’s enough

IRON WEIGHT — hear it fall

I don’t kneel, I don’t crawl

IRON WEIGHT — mine to own

I stand here — alone
