The Wretched of Oz (@comfortingscene003)

[Style: Industrial Metal, Power Ballad, Operatic Metal] (Song Title: The Wretched of Oz) [Part I: Heart of Rust] [Verse 1] [Grinding, mid-tempo Industrial Power Ballad riff] (The Tin Man - strained, robotic vocals) They took my heart, my gears, my fire… For cheaper labor, for a funeral pyre… Of industry, a hollow shell… In this outsourced, productive hell… [Chorus] (The Tin Man) I need the oil of capital flow… To make the seeds of labor grow! I stand and rust in silent pain Awaiting for the factory's rain! [Part II: The Paper Roar] [Verse 2] [Music becomes more dramatic, with orchestral stabs] (The Lion - booming, wavering tenor vocals) I sit in halls of stolen might! I know the darkness from the light! I roar of audits, rage at fraud! But deep inside, I am a flawed… [Chorus] (The Lion) And frightened beast, a paper king… Afraid of what the morning brings… If I defy the Wizard's law… He’ll crush me with a golden claw! [Outro] [Lion's roar fades into a sad orchestral melody]
