[Verse 1] Metal feet on rain-slick ground Red scan lines cut all around Your name on a broken screen Mine on a rusted seam Cold hands on the trigger frame Hearts beat like a burned-out train Every bolt knows the score We were built for war [Pre-Chorus] Count it down Lock and load Feel the shock In the code No mercy No prayer Only smoke In the air [Chorus] War of machines War of machines Built to break Built to bleed War of machines War of machines Crash and burn Then repeat (war of machines) [Verse 2] Steel jaws in the factory dark Flicker light on the scarred-up spark You call me brother, I call you blade Same cold line, different cage Black smoke curls from the cooling vents Every win leaves a dent If one of us falls tonight The whole world bites [Pre-Chorus] Count it down Lock and load Feel the shock In the code No mercy No prayer Only smoke In the air [Chorus] War of machines War of machines Built to break Built to bleed War of machines War of machines Crash and burn Then repeat (war of machines) [Bridge] When the sirens fade And the sparks go low Who’s the ghost In the afterglow? I hear your pulse Through the steel and chain Same old wound Different name [Final Chorus] War of machines War of machines Built to break Built to bleed War of machines War of machines Crash and burn Then repeat (war of machines) War of machines War of machines Hold the line Or disappear
