Gasoline veins and a carbon soul Down in the valley where the black smoke rolls The frame is a skeleton, the chrome is a shroud We’re the silent engine, never too loud Just a flicker of light on a dead-end track Looking for a road that doesn’t lead back. Fuel in the lungs, grit in the teeth There’s a monster waking up underneath Don't pray for the living, don't weep for the lost Every mile we cover has a heavy cost. Carry the weight of the iron! Watch the white lines bleed and the asphalt boil We’re the kings of the hollow, the sons of the rust Writing our names in the graveyard dust Yeah, the road is a debt that you never can pay In the iron grave, we’re fading away. Six strings of wire and a tank full of hate Ripping the hinges off the pearly gate The desert is hungry, the shadows are long We’re the broken rhythm of a funeral song No stars in the sky, just the glow of the dial Killing the ghost on every mile. Fuel in the lungs, grit in the teeth There’s a monster waking up underneath Don't pray for the living, don't weep for the lost Every mile we cover has a heavy cost. Carry the weight of the iron! Watch the white lines bleed and the asphalt boil We’re the kings of the hollow, the sons of the rust Writing our names in the graveyard dust Yeah, the road is a debt that you never can pay In the iron grave, we’re fading away. Carry the weight of the iron! Watch the white lines bleed and the asphalt boil We’re the kings of the hollow, the sons of the rust Writing our names in the graveyard dust Yeah, the road is a debt that you never can pay In the iron grave, we’re fading away. Fading away... Into the rust... Into the dust...
