Factory God

Tam tam tam tam... Boom boom boom boom... [Verse 1] Tam tam tam tam — On the factory grounds we roam, Boom boom boom boom — Two fools ring the iron dome. Metal tears itself apart, Like artillery in the night, Some unearthly force awakes, Blasting everything in sight. Sparks are falling with the rain, Rust has stained the sky blood-red, Still we're laughing, still we sing, Like we've lost our fear instead. [Chorus] Crash and thunder, smoke and flame, Nothing here will stay the same, Engines roar in wild accord, Tearing reality apart. Where the concrete starts to melt, Where the steel dragon is felt, We keep dancing through the night, In the fire's wicked light. [Verse 2] An old crane lifts up the moon, Like a giant silver coin, Wires hum a ghostly tune, Calling darkness to rejoin. This relentless pounding beat Shakes the walls from floor to roof, And the maze of iron halls Answers back with savage truth. [Chorus] Crash and thunder, smoke and flame, Nothing here will stay the same, Engines roar in wild accord, Tearing reality apart. Where the concrete starts to melt, Where the steel dragon is felt, We keep dancing through the night, In the fire's wicked light. [Bridge] Tam-tam-tam! And the earth will shake! Boom-boom-boom! Hear the boundaries break! Through the smoke and through the fog, Wakes the mighty Factory God! Factory God! Factory God! [Final Verse] Tam tam tam tam — Then it all went strangely quiet, Boom boom boom boom — And the fools abandoned riot. The bell rolled down into a ditch, The crane sat down and fell asleep, And the boss, to keep his dignity, Stayed in hiding for a week. [Outro] Tam tam tam tam... Fading somewhere past the gate... Boom... Boom... Boom... The Factory God... Has sealed his fate...
