Heavy metal, industrial, dark fantasy, tribal rock, male singer

V3.5

[Intro]

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Even when my heart lay still 
I survived with an iron will 
Released the weakness of my flesh
All opposed I will thresh 
I'm the truth you despise;
Your ever-imminent demise! 
My brothers built me piece by piece
Now I’m out with your death’s lease!

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
You think you are clever?
You barely hold the reins!
Reborn anew in the embers
No more mortal chains
You cut me down (Down!)
But something rose back up
Time for you to reap what you sow
As your final fate has struck!
(Fate! Has! Struck!)

[Pre-Chorus]
You wield steel but you do not understand it.
It is not part of you.
I’m going to change that.

[Chorus]
You made me the Machine!
Unbreakable, bloody sheen!
I’m the metal; you the anvil 
You beat death right out of me!
You thought you'd end my tale
But you merely fueled the forge!
Fire and ash, burning assail
I am your industrial hell!

(My work is never done, it seems!)

[Bridge]
Do not fear the Machine!
The Machine is your future!
The Machine, is EVERLASTING!

[Verse 3]
You designed your iron reaper,
You’re the architect of this fate!
Your blacksmith’s pyre will sear,
For death, you will not have to wait!
I stand lustrous, tempered, strong, and pristine!
And you, my labored engineer 
Shall know the wrath of the Machine!

[Pre-Chorus]
You wield steel but you do not understand it.
It is not part of you.
I’m going to change that.

[Chorus]
You made me the Machine!
Polished, pure, deathly keen!
I’m the metal; you the anvil 
You beat death right out of me!
You thought you'd end my tale
But you failed to realize
Reinforced plates, Galvanized,
The Machine will rise!!

[Outro]
In the crucible
Was where I found my call
By my hand, you will see,
The wonders of infernal industry!

My lesson in this is free,
You'll learn my iron lore!
For this is the message of The Machine:
Steel triumphs over flesh once more!

[Outro Solo]

You cleaved me in two! Any other orc would have died, But I survived! More than that, I thrived! My brothers put me back together, Stronger than ever, But they didn’t make me into what I am. You did. You created the Machine!
