[Instrumental Intro] [Hypnotic 3-note descending upright bass riff] [Chiming bells slow sultry melody] [Grinding metallic gears fade in] [Heavy rhythmic stomping downbeat] [Cinematic strings swell] [Verse 1] [Breathy sultry French-accented female vocals] [Cinematic strings and chiming bells contrast with heavy anvil strikes] Wake up to the iron. Wake up to the heat. Swing the hammer down, keep the heavy beat. Le travail is endless, the metal is so cold. Breaking our backs until we grow old. [Chorus] [Breathy lead vocal joined by exhausted group gang vocals] [Heavy chain rattling on the rhythm] [Lush 1950s strings over stomping metallic percussion] Push the wheel! Pull the weight! Le travail, it dictates! Sweat and iron, bone and steel! Feed the furnace, turn the wheel! [Verse 2] [Tempo rushes slightly] [Distorted overdriven 3-note bass] [Dissonant underlying drone beneath strings] [Panicked female vocals] The furnace is burning too hot today. The gears are screaming, stripping away. I cannot keep up, the belt is too fast! How long can this terrible rhythm last? [Pre-Chorus] [Frantic breathing] [Sharp stabbing strings] [Irregular drum patterns clashing with lounge bassline] Attention! The pressure is too high! La machine trembles! We are going to fry! Run from the pistons! The valves are blown! A sound like nothing we have ever known! [Bridge] [Sudden tempo collapse] [Cacophonous clashing noir horns] [Splitting defensive screaming vocals] [Atonal musical disaster] The wheel is breaking! Fire in the wire! Everything is burning! The metal screams higher! A total disaster of rhythm and sound! The factory crumbles into the ground! [Industrial Solo] [Total sonic destruction] [Chaotic screaming distorted noise] [3-note bassline stutters and violently breaks apart] [Rhythm entirely broken] [Piercing screech of tearing metal] [Outro] [Music winds down off-pitch] [Sizzling steam and dying gears] [Dying detuned cinematic chord] [Panting and coughing solo female whisper] Le travail... est fini. [Abrupt heavy metallic clunk] [Sudden Silence]
