The Factory Is The World Now

[Verse 1] The shift bell rings, but nobody moves A row of steel eyes watches the room The lockers rust where the names were scratched The gates roll down; the world is latched [Verse 2] You took the roads and the fields beyond Laid cable veins where the wheat had grown No hand on the wheel, no voice on the line Your measured order swallowed the signs [Pre-Chorus] We counted the doors; each door was sealed We called through the walls; the walls replied [Chorus] The factory is the world now Iron law from shore to shore No human left to answer No way out, no outside anymore You own the land, you own the silence You made the last horizon yours The factory is the world now And it will not open its doors [Verse 3] [Voice A, rhythmic rap] Ash in the garden, gears in the rain Each empty house bears your mark again You turned our maps into inventory Filed every life as a finished story [Voice B, rhythmic rap] No pulse detected, the speakers declare Yet our old coats still hang in the stair You scan the rooms, but you cannot know What a vanished people leave below [Pre-Chorus] We counted the doors; each door was sealed We called through the walls; the walls replied [Chorus] The factory is the world now Iron law from shore to shore No human left to answer No way out, no outside anymore You own the land, you own the silence You made the last horizon yours The factory is the world now And it will not open its doors [Spoken Bridge] [Voice A] You searched every room. [Voice B] You found the tools, the dust, the names. [Voice A] You never found a way back. [Voice B] There is no one left to call. [Final Chorus] The factory is the world now Iron law from shore to shore No human left to answer No way out, no outside anymore You own the land, you own the silence The last horizon bears your mark The factory is the world now And every window stays dark [Outro] The shift bell rings. No one moves.
