[Intro] [distorted electric guitar slide, heavy drum fill] [syncopated guitar riff with industrial synth textures] [Verse 1] [raspy spoken-word male vocals] You survived the first record You walked through the fire You met the monster in the floorboards And you saw the blueprint of the iron frame But building the fortress is only half the battle Holding the line is where the real work begins The sun is going down on the Texas coast The perimeter is armed Welcome [drum fill] To the second shift [Chorus] [belted vocals, driving drums, heavy distorted guitar riff] (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) [high-pitched synth siren] (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) [Verse 2] [spoken-word vocals, bass and drums only] I laid the history out I put the scars on the track There ain't a single damn mile that I'm trying to take back [guitar enters with palm-muted chugs] But the road doesn't end just because you parked the machine You gotta maintain the oil, gotta keep the steel clean We got eight tracks left in the chamber tonight We're shifting the gears and we're killing the lights [Chorus] [full band, high energy] So buckle up tight, put your boots on the floor The mechanic is walking straight back to the war (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) [Bridge] [half-time feel, heavy guitar accents] The engine is hot The system is fed The crosshairs are locked And the laser is red [drum build-up] (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) [Guitar Solo] [bluesy distorted lead guitar with wah-wah effect] [heavy rhythmic backing] [Outro] [vocal ad-libs] Let's ride (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) [guitar feedback] You survived You survived
