[Intro] [Verse 1] The amber sky is choking out the light A yellow wind is cutting through the night The sulfur sand is scraping down the throat It skins the canvas on my heavy coat The monolith is standing high and blind An ancient tower left for us to find I throw my body weight against the plate To force the iron latch and break the weight [Pre-Chorus] The heavy hinges yield and let me through I slam the barrier on the toxic blue The howling wind is muffled by the stone I step inside the dark vault all alone [Chorus] Two burning eyes inside the engine bay A strange and ancient shadow left to stay It isn't man or machine in the dark It holds the rhythm of a cosmic spark Yeah shift the leverage let the sequence run The wasteland oracle has just begun [Verse 2] It speaks without a tongue inside the air A frequency of numbers hidden there It knows the path of stars before the blind The older alignment of a different mind The cold stone is humming with the sound Vibrating deep into the frozen ground We sat on the margins while the world decayed And woke up to the monster that the builders made [Chorus] Two burning eyes inside the engine bay A strange and ancient shadow left to stay It isn't man or machine in the dark It holds the rhythm of a cosmic spark Yeah shift the leverage let the sequence run The wasteland oracle has just begun [Bridge] The sand is screaming on the outer skin But something massive is awaking in The transmission is locking to the bone We aren't standing in this vault alone We find the frequency to break the seal And put our fingers on the steering wheel [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Two burning eyes inside the engine bay A strange and ancient shadow left to stay It isn't man or machine in the dark It holds the rhythm of a cosmic spark Yeah shift the leverage let the sequence run The wasteland oracle has just begun [Outro] The storm can howl outside the iron track There is no road that's going to take us back The sky is dead now The gate is shut [Hard End]
