The Heart of the Machine (Metropolis) [House-Techno]
1] Ten thousand steps, deep in the shaft We feed the beast, we ply our craft Steam and steel, a rhythm without grace Trapped in the gears of this iron place The clock strikes twelve, the sky is grey The sons of the city, they hide from the day [Pre-Chorus] The light above, the hell below Moloch is hungry, watch the fire glow (Mechanical hiss) One. Zero. One. Zero. [Chorus] Metropolis – City of Glass Metropolis – Watching us pass The Mediator between the brain and the hand Must be the Heart... understand? (Heavy Bass Drop) The Heart! The Heart! Must be the Heart... understand? (Heavy Bass Drop) The Heart! The Heart! [Verse 2] A Golden Soul with skin of chrome A false messiah leads us home She dances wild, she breathes the fire Lost in the wires of her own desire Shift change! (Shift change!) The pistons pump, the blood turns cold The story of the Tower is being retold [Bridge] (Minimalist beat, hypnotic arpeggiated synths) The Tower of Babel reaching for the stars While we are breaking behind these bars Maria whispers: "The time is near" The machine is the master, the master is fear. (Stuttering vocal samples: "The Heart... The Heart...") [Chorus] Metropolis – City of Glass Metropolis – Watching us pass The Mediator between the brain and the hand Must be the Heart... understand? [Outro] Hand. Heart. Brain. Hand. Heart.
