[INTRO — industrial ambience, metallic impacts, slow heavy rhythm] (steel… iron… power…) [VERSE 1 — commanding vocal] Fire and iron Smoke and stone We built the engines We claimed the throne Turning the earth Shaping the land Power obeys The will of man [PRE-CHORUS — rising intensity, mechanical rhythm] Hammer falling Systems rise Endless motion Endless design [CHORUS — strong chant, mass worker voices] Build the machine Build the machine Power the empire Fuel the dream Build the machine Build the machine Master of matter Ruler supreme [POST-CHORUS — rhythmic chant] (work — build — rise — obey) [VERSE 2 — darker undertone] Nature silenced Rivers bound Metal towers All around Endless progress Endless need We create What we will need [PRE-CHORUS — tension building] More control More command Steel replaces Flesh and hand [FINAL CHORUS — massive industrial energy] Build the machine Build the machine Power the empire Fuel the dream [OUTRO — machine rhythm continues, becomes digital pulse]
