lyrics

Within this hall of brick and brass
Accented with oil
The walls and smoke constrict my mind
Through my daily toil

Countless souls were lured here With fortune in their hearts Into this church of madness From which none shall depart

I fear this shall be my last task
An undertaking to the grave

Blast furnace; The mouth of hell
I am to feed the beast
Powering massive machines
The genesis of nightmares

An endless filthy, blackened rain
Of ash and soot expelled From smokestacks
piercing heaven
Rising from this hell

Suffocate from the ashen breath of mortal machines
Enshroud the earth in a man made darkness

Turn the gears
Hear the screams
An empire built on the limbs of orphans

Within the heart of the empire
Surrounded by a maze of claustiphobic alleys
A grand cathedral overshadows all
Billowing smoke and churning out misery

The necrosis of the earth for the progress of man
An ever expanding tumor now aided by my hand

We are the cawing of the crows that sit atop the leafless trees, and the morose beating of the wings of skulking vultures. We are the grandeur of the greatest cathedral and the humility it conveys. We are the storms that comfort you in your darkest hour, blotting out the hideous, mocking sun. We are the laudanum in your hand and the absinthe in your throat. We are the Immortal Orchestra. ... more
