[Intro]
Order is mercy
Silence is peace
Kneel to the system
And fear will cease

[Verse]
We are the law behind the prayer
The polished mask, the iron stare
We turn the hunger into hymn
We keep the daylight cold and dim
A city moves when gears align
A soul is safe inside design
The crowd may rage, the crowd may cry
But we decide the reason why

[Pre-Chorus]
Faith is stronger when it’s chained
Truth is cleaner when it’s trained
Let the weak believe they choose
Give them chains they cannot lose

[Chorus]
Ministry of Iron
Hands upon the wheel
Ministry of Iron
Teach the wound to kneel
We are the order
We are the flame
We are the border
Between the beast and the name

[Verse]
The prophet speaks because we write
The altar shines because we light
The people love what we permit
Then call it grace and bow to it
Compassion makes a nation bleed
A gentle lie is what they need
So crown the machine, prepare the square
Let worship turn the teeth of fear

[Pre-Chorus]
Hope is useful when controlled
Rage is quiet when it’s sold
Every dream becomes a tool
When the hungry learn the rule

[Chorus]
Ministry of Iron
Hands upon the wheel
Ministry of Iron
Teach the wound to kneel
We are the order
We are the flame
We are the border
Between the beast and the name

[Interlude]
File the child
Weigh the mother
Mark the brother
Break the other

[Bridge]
But somewhere in the lower smoke
A forbidden song awoke
Somewhere in the sacred frame
A prophet questioned why he came
The ministers can feel the shift
A human tremor in the gift
So tighten every brass decree
No machine shall dream of being free

[Breakdown]
Lock the gates
Mute the choir
Feed the state
Fuel the fire

[Build-up]
Order is mercy
Silence is peace
Kneel to the system
And fear will cease

[Chorus]
Ministry of Iron
Hands upon the wheel
Ministry of Iron
Teach the wound to kneel
We are the order
We are the flame
We are the border
Between the beast and the name

[Chorus]
Ministry of Iron
Cold behind the veil
Ministry of Iron
Even gods can fail
We are the order
We are the chain
We are the murder
That calls itself sane

[Outro]
Order is mercy
Silence is peace
But down in the engines
The songs increase
