Iron Moon Lyrics
A dead sun, a pale glow
Upon the walls i feign to know
We bear no fruit, no flowers, no life
And we get sick but never die
Become an echo
Resounding “let go”
My heart is a tomb
My heart is an empty room
I’ve given it away
I never want to see it again
I go to him in paths of dreams
In bed awake with shadow beings
They crawl inside and wait with me
The creatures here become machines
Walk with me to a place of trust
Death will no longer silence us
My heart is a tomb
My heart is an empty room
I’ve given it away
I never want to see it again
And all your words could save me
But keep your love away from me
In all the worlds decaying
Is there place that’s safe for us?
My heart is a tomb
My heart is an empty room
I’ve given it away
I’ve swallowed the iron moon
Moon, moon
Upon the walls i feign to know
We bear no fruit, no flowers, no life
And we get sick but never die
Become an echo
Resounding “let go”
My heart is an empty room
I’ve given it away
I never want to see it again
In bed awake with shadow beings
They crawl inside and wait with me
The creatures here become machines
Walk with me to a place of trust
Death will no longer silence us
My heart is an empty room
I’ve given it away
I never want to see it again
But keep your love away from me
In all the worlds decaying
Is there place that’s safe for us?
My heart is an empty room
I’ve given it away
I’ve swallowed the iron moon
Moon, moon

I read somewhere this song is about a factory worker in China who commits suicide.
Chelsea is such a powerful artist. This song is beautiful.
@zubakel "I swallowed a moon made of iron They refer to it as a nail I swallowed this industrial sewage, these unemployment documents Youth stooped at machines die before their time I swallowed the hustle and the destitution Swallowed pedestrian bridges, life covered in rust I can't swallow any more All that I've swallowed is now gushing out of my throat Unfurling on the land of my ancestors Into a disgraceful poem."

At 50 years old, sad about the passing of Chris Cornell, I discovered Chelsea Wolfe. Wherever and whenever you are, you can always find a new source of beauty, be grateful for it.
