Click a shutter, catch the gray
Copper joints in disarray
Rain is hitting polished gold
Stories that the gears have told
Walking down the marble street
Rhythmic click of metal feet
Silver blade against the wet
A machine that won't forget
Slicing through the Art Nouveau
Heavy rain and steady glow
Hold the rapier in the wind
Where the iron spirits bend
Glassy eyes and frozen stare
Static humming in the air
Blueprints drawn in ink and oil
Watching all the water boil
Slicing through the Art Nouveau
Heavy rain and steady glow
Hold the rapier in the wind
Where the iron spirits bend
Springs are tight and cables pull
Until the heavy heart is full
One sharp strike to break the chain
Washing off the rusted stain
Buses roll in charcoal lines
Slicing through the city signs
Every frame a frozen shot
Counting everything I got
Cogs are turning in a race
Etched upon a porcelain face
Walking past the velvet door
I can't take the weight no more
Slicing through the Art Nouveau
Heavy rain and steady glow
Hold the rapier in the wind
Where the iron spirits bend
Slicing through the rain
Breaking every chain
