[Intro – Spoken / Mechanical Whisper] Pressure rising… Copper lungs breathe fire tonight. Gears awake. Xander at the helm. [Build – Rhythmic Chant] Tick—tock—strike the key Iron hearts don’t beg, they beat Wind the spine, feel it bite Clockwork sinners, take the night [Drop / Chorus] Ignite the gear—let the sparks fall slow Steel and silk in a velvet glow Hands in the air, feel the engine roar We don’t knock—we break the door Ignite the gear—turn pain to art Oil-slick rhythm, piston heart From ash to chrome, we rise severe Bow to the sound—ignite the gear [Verse 1] Corsets tight, wires bare Smoke and brass in the air we tear Monocle kings, lace-clad queens Dancing on ruins of broken machines Pulse like steam through the floorboards now Every scar is a holy vow Rust ain’t rot—it’s memory We grind the past into ecstasy [Pre-Chorus – Rising Tension] Hear the valves scream mercy loud While the crowd moves like a thundercloud Count it down—three, two, one Pull the lever—here it comes [Chorus] Ignite the gear—let the sparks fall slow Steel and silk in a velvet glow Hands in the air, feel the engine roar We don’t knock—we break the door Ignite the gear—turn pain to art Oil-slick rhythm, piston heart From ash to chrome, we rise severe Bow to the sound—ignite the gear [Bridge – Half-Time / Spoken-Sung] Grease on our hands, wine on our lips We kiss catastrophe and never slip Empire cracks under bassline law This is order made of flaw [Final Drop – Crowd Call] Wind it up! Burn it bright! Xander in the booth—lock it tight! [Final Chorus – Full Power] Ignite the gear—let the night combust Faith in noise, devotion in dust From velvet shadows to chandelier This is the rise—ignite the gear [Outro – Mechanical Fade] Pressure released… But the engine remembers.
