[Verse 1] Boot prints burned in the factory dust Clock on the wall keeps spitting out rust Hands full of scars Pockets full of smoke Laugh so hard at this heavy joke [Chorus] Got rust on my halo Oil on my crown Engine in my chest keeps breaking down I’m a half-dead saint in a secondhand coat Screaming hallelujah with a cracked-up throat (yeah) [Verse 2] Steel-toe sins on a one-way track Sirens sing while they stab my back Ash in my lungs Gravel in my grin Every door locked I kick my way in (hey!) [Chorus] Got rust on my halo Oil on my crown Engine in my chest keeps breaking down I’m a half-dead saint in a secondhand coat Screaming hallelujah with a cracked-up throat [Bridge] You can chain these boots But the soul won’t drag You can tape my mouth But I’ll bleed this flag Black coffee heart And a barroom prayer If the sky falls down I’ll be standing there (standing there) [Chorus] Got rust on my halo Oil on my crown Engine in my chest keeps breaking down I’m a half-dead saint in a secondhand coat Screaming hallelujah with a cracked-up throat [Outro] Rust on my halo Still I rise slow Step after step Through the smoke I go [Guitar Solo Intro] [vurse1] Boot prints burned in the factory dust Clock on the wall keeps spitting out rust Hands full of scars Pockets full of smoke Laugh so hard at this heavy joke [Chorus] Got rust on my halo Oil on my crown Engine in my chest keeps breaking down I’m a half-dead saint in a secondhand coat Screaming hallelujah with a cracked-up throat (yeah)[Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] Steel-toe sins on a one-way track Sirens sing while they stab my back Ash in my lungs Gravel in my grin Every door locked I kick my way in (hey!)

rock, Slow-grind hybrid of swampy blues-rock and industrial metal at 90 BPM. Male vocals, ragged and defiant, over a stomping kick, trashy snare, and distorted bass. Verse guitars stay dry and smoky with roomy drums and subtle metallic textures; chorus explodes with huge detuned power chords, mechanical percussive hits, and gang shouts. Bridge dives into a grinding riff and filtered vocal, then slams back into the final hook with stacked harmonies and a dragged, headbanging groove., hard rock, industrial metal, blues
