These are the lyrics to the Mystery Jets remix of the Woodkid song, “Iron” which samples the live performance version which was performed as a duet with Lana Del Rey, her vocals can be heard before the second verse and during both the second and third verses.
[Verse 1: Woodkid]
Deep in the ocean, dead and cast away
Where innocence is burned, in flames
A million miles from home, I'm walking ahead
I'm frozen to the bones, I am
A soldier on my own, I don't know the way
I'm riding up the heights, of shame
I'm waiting for the call, the hand on the chest
I'm ready for the fight, and fate
[Verse 2: Woodkid & Lana Del Rey]
The sound of iron shots is stuck in my head
The thunder of the drums, dictates
The rhythm of the falls, the number of deaths
The rising of the horns, ahead
From the dawn of time to the end of days
I will have to run, away
I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste
Of the blood on my lips, a-a-again
[Intrumental]
[Verse 3: Woodkid & Lana Del Rey]
This deadly burst of snow is burning my hands
I'm frozen to the bones, I am
A million mile from home, I'm walking away
I call to mind your eyes, your face
[Instrumental Outro]
