Scorched Iron Circuit (Version 2)

Verse 1

Cold steel, black grease

Sub kick in the teeth

Cables in the water

Tension underneath

Five a.m. pressure

Steam against the skin

Lock into the tempo

Let the metal spin

Pre-Chorus

Voltage in the marrow

Breaker on the verge

Wait for the horizon

Ride into the surge

Chorus

Scorched iron circuit

Drive into the floor

Hold the wire open

Feed the engine more

Pulse on the redline

Heavy on the beat

Moving through the darkness

Till the lights come up

Verse 2

Rust dust, dark glow

Stripped gear down below

Sweat along the collar

Nowhere left to go

Eyes fixed, dead straight

Friction in the air

No one says a syllable

No one leaves the square

Pre-Chorus

Voltage in the marrow

Breaker on the verge

Wait for the horizon

Ride into the surge

Chorus

Scorched iron circuit

Drive into the floor

Hold the wire open

Feed the engine more

Pulse on the redline

Heavy on the beat

Moving through the darkness

Till the lights come up

Bridge

Iron

Copper

Piston

Glow

Do not break the stride

Do not let it slow

Hold the rail

Take the spark

Drive the machine

Out of the dark

Chorus

Scorched iron circuit

Drive into the floor

Hold the wire open

Feed the engine more

Pulse on the redline

Heavy on the beat

Moving through the darkness

Till the lights come up
