Blade of the Machine

[Intro]
Metal weeps, shadows creep, heartbeat skips in the dark
Laughs echo deep, in my soul, a permanent mark

[Verse 1]
Work's relentless, endless grind, 24/7 on the line
Steel within, a dormant spine, losing myself in time
Clutching knife, blood’s design, a dance I can’t undo
Fear the blade in my grasp, more than the mirror’s view

[Pre-Chorus]
Deformed heart, torn apart, echoing in the night
Silent scream, broken dream, fighting my own fight

[Chorus]
Workin’ like a machine, heart bleeding unseen
Fear the dance of the iron, more than what’s been
In my hand, a bloodstained blade, shadows intertwined
Falling into darkness, where I can’t find a line

[Bridge]
Stuck in a nightmare, no end in sight
Blood and fear, my only light
Dance of the dagger, paralyzing fright
Lost in a battle, wrong versus right

[Outro]
Metal weeps, shadows creep, I surrender my soul
Work and fear, forever near, no way to be whole

Dark industrial, intense mood, heavy guitar riffs, relentless rhythm, gritty vocals
