🎼── Verse 1 ── 🎼

There’s an iron gate hanging crooked on the hill

Lost the will to swing, lost the courage to be still

Ravaged by the red decay, chewed down to the bone

Guarding what is left of a sanctuary home

Time after time it took a hammer to its shell

Now it’s rigid, now it’s freezing in a barren hell

🎼── Pre-Chorus ── 🎼

The water finds the ceiling, starts dripping on the floor

Like tears into the blackness through a rotting cellar door

You see the beams are bowing, you see the plaster fail

We drove our bitter agonies like spikes into the nail!

🎼── Chorus ── 🎼

Now the gate gives way and the roof is coming down!

Look at what is left of what was once safe and sound!

Every promise wrecked, until there was no more trust

Nothing in this ribcage but a heart made of rust!

Alas! Consumed by the rust!

❖ ── 🪕 ── ❖

🎼── Verse 2── 🎼

Disintegrating fieldstone, windows cracked to shards

The fire died in the hearth, the flowers in the yard

We looked away from what was coming down the track

Ignored the brittle hinges till they snapped across the back

Piece by piece, you left it all tumbled in the clay

Defiled by the weather and words you wouldn’t say

🎼── Pre-Chorus ── 🎼

Drip, drip, drip into the dark, into the sunken stone

The final spark of hope blown out, abandoned and alone

You cannot repair the mortise when the foundation dies

We built our little palace on a thousand silent lies!

🎼── Chorus ── 🎼

Now the gate gives way and the roof is coming down!

Look at what is left of what was once safe and sound!

Every promise wrecked, until there was no more trust

Nothing in this ribcage but a heart made of rust!

Alas! Consumed by the rust!

🎼── Bridge ── 🎼

First the latch gave out…

Then the pillars fell

The dwelling place of two fools

Made a cold and rigid hell

Trapped inside the cellar…

Helpless in the clay…

Waiting for the orange rot to take me away

❖ ── 🪕 ── ❖

Take me away

🎼── Final Chorus ── 🎼

Now the house is gone! Alas, the gate is down!

The ruins lie scattered across the frozen ground!

Blow by blow, day by day, we crushed it into dust

I’m nothing but wasteland!

With a heart made of rust!

Completely consumed by the rust!

🎼── Outro ── 🎼

Eternal dark…

Eternal cold…

Just iron turning into red

All that’s left is rust

Rust to dust

(Rust to dust)

Rust to dust
