[Intro, clean and eerie guitar] Tick... tock... tick... tock... The screech of metal fills the air... [Verse 1] In junkyards and alleys they collect their prize A thousand rusted bodies rise Metal bones and whirring gears A wind-up army reappears Forgotten scraps and abandoned trash Comes to life in a clangorous crash Built from oxidized castaway steel New life born from a monarch's zeal [Pre-Chorus] Every fallen duke spawns a deadly swarm Discarded circuits start to take new form [Chorus] Hail the Clockwork King! Master of the broken spring! From the scrapyards they ascend A court of gears that never end! Hear the metal choir sing! Bow before the Clockwork King! Their royal rumble shakes the ground! A recycled army at last unbound! [Verse 2] Streetlights flicker when they march as one A thousand feet stride in unison Bolts and pistons click and turn One mind in charge, his wrath incurred They scavenge parts from friend and foe Their ultimate purpose we'll never know A decree dispersed, their wills aligned Leave your humanity behind [Chorus] Hail the Clockwork King! Master of the broken spring! From the scrapyards they ascend A court of gears that never end! Hear the metal choir sing! Bow before the Clockwork King! Their royal rumble shakes the ground! A recycled army at last unbound! [Bridge, slow and heavy] Madness warped in copper wire Do what you can to avoid his ire A fractured mind placed upon the throne They'll never stop 'till the city they own Where one breaks down, three more construct Psycho-electricity conduct One man's trash becomes a regent's treasure A scrap iron horde, greed beyond measure [Breakdown] GRIND! TURN THE WHEELS! BUILD! A WORLD OF STEEL! MARCH! TO THE KING'S COMMAND! RISE! DOMINATE THE LAND! [Solo Section] [Final Chorus] Hail the Clockwork King! Master of the broken spring! From the scrapyards they ascend A court of gears that never end! Hear the metal choir sing! Bow before the Clockwork King! Their royal rumble shakes the ground! A recycled army at last unbound! [Outro] Tick... tock... tick... tock... The clockwork court is here... Tick... tock... tick... tock... Spreading strife and fear... Tick... tock... tick... tock... You hear it in the walls... Tick... tock... tick... tock... The Clockwork answer the call.
