Track Insight / Lyrics
Dreary morning, streets forlorn
I slip into the alley, solitude my shroud
Brick and chrome, cold terra cotta
The city's heartbeat pounds a lonely tune
Gears and pistons, my weary eyes
Adrift in shadows, time's cruel disguise
Each tick, a taunt, each click, a sigh
I'm bound to toil, until the city's lie
[Pre-
But I hold on to rage and bitter pride
Through every shift, I'll find a way inside
The clock's relentless dance, my will unbroken
Forever chained, yet never forsaken
I toil, I toil, in this concrete pit
Where steel and stone, my soul entwine
I toil on, through the dark of night
Brick and chrome, my endless fight
Gears and pistons, my hands move numb
Each cog and spring, a cruel, relentless drum
I grind them down, beneath my calloused skin
But still they turn, my mind begins
[Pre-
To seethe and boil, with every spiteful tick
But I hold on tight, to this bitter trick
The clock's relentless dance, my will unbroken
Forever chained, yet never forsaken
I toil, I toil, in this concrete pit
Where steel and stone, my soul entwine
I toil on, through the dark of night
Brick and chrome, my endless fight
Clockwork machinery, grinding, clashing
Molten steel, hammering, smashing
Gears and pistons, screaming, shrieking
My desperation, my defiant shriek
Tears of steel, blood of chrome
Fractured time, shattered tone
My hammer's rage, my soul's fire
I toil, I toil, in this hell's mire
I toil, I toil, in this concrete pit
Where steel and stone, my soul entwine
I toil on, through the dark of night
Brick and chrome, my endless fight
The city's heartbeat fades, the day is lost
I'm left with only shadows, and clocks unbossed
But still I hold on, to rage and bitter pride
For in this endless fight, I'll never be denied
