Tabloid lies become the new machine
blinding our eyes to the world unseen.
Fettered now by the hate we’re fed
better to live enslaved by dread
Hold me by the collar
break my back in two
the human soul shrinks smaller
and there’s nothing we can do.
From the cities to the mountains
the world’s fallen cold
the blood spills out in fountains
the price of what we’ve sold!
As the oceans fall
and we risk it all
for Kingdom, God and gold!
Stagnant stands the stark new day
passion drained by the dark display.
Broken down by the world of lead
the sleeping crowds alive but dead
Burning all our prayers
the heat of industry
turning to despair
as we blacken dark the sea
From the cities to the mountains
the world’s fallen cold
the blood spills out in fountains
the price of what we’ve sold!
As the oceans fall
and we risk it all
for Kingdom, God and gold!
Breathing black
In grief, we drown
the working class
were broken down.
A wrench, some brass
And a brand new clown
Now it’s time
to break the crown!
Reckless rising like an angry sea
the cogs and gears
of industry!
The machine uncoupled
and the kings nailed down
Every flame rekindled
as the sirens sound!
The revolution rages, hot
the fires burn, the soul unlocked!
Brethren bound by creed and class
breathe new air, freed at last!
Free from hate and greed we thrive
now children play under fresh blue sky.
No more need for class and crown
the machine has crashed
new life’s been found.
