Cold Iron DreamsVerse 1It sat inside the drawer, heavy and stillA promise of power, a challenge of willYou held it in your hand, just a mechanical toyBut steel doesn't care if you're a man or a boyThe metal was cold, the edges were cleanThe dangerous spark of an unlocked machineChorusSo step back from the edge, put the weapon awayThere are choices you make that you can’t un-payFire and smoke leave a shadow that staysDon’t play with guns, don't gamble your daysLife is too fragile to break in a flashDon't turn a lifetime of futures to ashVerse 2It only takes a second for the silence to breakA lifetime of sorrow for one small mistakeThe weight of a trigger, the pull of the blindLeaving nothing but echoes and a hollow mindA moment of curiosity, a dare in the darkCan tear down a world with a single sparkChorusSo step back from the edge, put the weapon awayThere are choices you make that you can’t un-payFire and smoke leave a shadow that staysDon’t play with guns, don't gamble your daysLife is too fragile to break in a flashDon't turn a lifetime of futures to ashBridgeKeep your hands on the guitar, your hands on the wheelBuild up a life out of things you can healThere's no undoing what the powder has doneThe battle is lost before it's begunChorusSo step back from the edge, put the weapon awayThere are choices you make that you can’t un-payFire and smoke leave a shadow that staysDon’t play with guns, don't gamble your daysLife is too fragile to break in a flashDon't turn a lifetime of futures to ashOutroPut it down, walk awayLive to see another dayCold iron dreams will fade out in the sunListen to the warning, don't play with guns.
