[Intro - The Ritual] (A ticking watch fades to a rapid, aggressive Spanish guitar. Heavy steam hisses as a deep Moog bass growls.) [Verse 1 - Elegant & Sharp] (Lead Vocal: Suave, Clear Male Baritone) Velvet cape on, cold steel at my side, Waiting for the city's pulse to ride. Nylon strings scream, a crimson thread unwound, Ballroom ghosts tally souls underground. I'm on the edge, a jagged, fine line, Sipping machine oil and blood-red wine. [Pre-Chorus - The Acceleration] (Castanets morph to a frantic Drum n Bass breakbeat. Tempo ignites.) The bull's a machine... (Echo: Machine...) The arena, a dream... (Echo: Dream...) And the crowd, just stone. [Chorus - The Flamenco-Step Explosion] (Full Energy - Orchestral Strings & Heavy Bass) Olé to the ghost, olé to the gear! Metal's fierce rhythm, the only sound I hear! Guitar stings sharp, breakbeat's wild cry, We burn up the floor 'neath a charcoal sky! Heart of pure fire in a suit of chrome, Finding the rhythm to guide us home! [Bridge - The "Shadow" Breakdown] (Drums drop out. A solitary, mournful cello plays a minor-key melody while a female choir hums a haunting, gothic chord.) Dust motes are rising... The sun, it feels cold... The saga of iron... Now finally told. [Outro - The Grand Finale] (Guitar returns with frantic speed. DnB beat peaks before a sudden, sharp orchestral hit ends the song.) "The dance is done... The machine... Won." (Final solitary guitar pluck with heavy reverb.)
