Brass gears clicking in the cold
Stories that the copper told
Oil leaks on the cobblestone
Walking through the city lone
Iron joints begin to rust
Turning golden paint to dust
Gilded arches overhead
Where the velvet curtains spread
Slicing through the heavy gray
Searching for a brighter day
Sharp blade flashing in the light
Cutting through the velvet night
Clockwork ticking in my chest
Never stopping for a rest
Rapier poised in steady grip
Let the frozen raindrops drip
Slicing through the heavy gray
Searching for a brighter day
Sharp blade flashing in the light
Cutting through the velvet night
Tension in the winding spring
Hear the metal tension ring
One wrong turn and I will break
Every single step I take
Glass facades and carved stone walls
Hollow sounds in empty halls
Step by step on polished floor
Knocking on a locked iron door
Cogs are turning fast and tight
Underneath the pale moon light
Chrome reflections on the street
Rhythm of the metal beat
Slicing through the heavy gray
Searching for a brighter day
Sharp blade flashing in the light
Cutting through the velvet night
Steel and silver
Steel and silver
Click, clack, stop.
