[Verse 1] - [twanging], [somber], [acoustic], [breathy] (Dust motes dance) in the fading light Rust creeps, a slow, bitter blight (Steel skeletons) stand stark and tall [echoes] A silent, mournful call [Chorus] - [pulsing], [wistful], [electronic], [melodic] Oh, the resistors hum a weary tune Underneath the cold, unforgiving moon [builds] Circuits blaze, a pale imitation Of the life that’s lost, in this sterile creation [Verse 2] - [raspy], [desolate], [folk], [storytelling] Cracked earth drinks the falling rain Whispers of what could have been, remain (Forgotten seeds) lay dormant still A testament to nature’s will, oh, will…[pauses]… it return? [Chorus] - [intense], [mournful], [electronic], [emotive] Oh, the resistors hum a weary tune Underneath the cold, unforgiving moon [beat drop] Circuits blaze, a pale imitation Of the life that’s lost, in this sterile creation [Bridge] - [stuttering], [distorted], [industrial], [chanting] WHA-WH-WHAT IS LEFT? WHEN ALL IS GONE? THIS METAL SHELL, THIS EMPTY DAWN? (We built it high,) we reached the sky [solo] And watched the living world, [breakdown] just die... Uh...huh...die. [Chorus] - [powerful], [anguished], [electronic], [soaring] OH, THE RESISTORS HUM A WEARY TUNE UNDERNEATH THE COLD, UNFORGIVING MOON! CIRCUITS BLAZE, A PALE IMITATION OF THE LIFE THAT’S LOST! IN THIS STERILE CREATION! [Outro] - [fading], [fragile], [ambient], [whispering] (Rust...and resistors) the echo...of despair… [echoes] ...despair... (fades out) [plucking], [somber], [acoustic], [breathy].
