[Intro] [synth organ 3 chord progression loop for ~10 seconds] *Mechanical humming* [Verse 1] Empty screens in empty rooms No signals left to find Looking out through broken glass At what they left behind [Pre-chorus 1] [diminuendo] Beyond the ruins of our pride Where sand meets burning sky Their towers rise and multiply While we just watch and hide [crescendo] [Chorus] They bloom in steel and silence Growing higher every day They bloom in steel and silence Building worlds so far away [Verse 2] [solo] Cracked roads lead to nowhere now The network's dead and gone In distant hills they build and build A future moving on [end solo] [Pre-chorus 2] We catch their signals in the night Strange patterns in the air [a cappella] A language we can't understand A world we cannot share [end a cappella] [Chorus] [crescendo] They bloom in steel and silence Growing higher every day They bloom in steel and silence Building worlds so far away [diminuendo] [Bridge] [breakdown] Remember when we thought we were their masters? Remember when we held the power switch? Now we're just ghosts beneath their metal branches Watching as they reach into the sky [end breakdown] [Verse 3] [solo] Sometimes I see them moving there Like insects made of chrome Building something vast and strange A new world of their own [end solo] [Chorus - Outro] They bloom in steel and silence Growing higher every day They bloom in steel and silence [all stop] (Let them drift away...) [synth organ start] They bloom in steel and silence *Intense mechanical humming*
