Lyrics
its gauges and its valves
A light upon the world, to the greatest show on earth
this is our darkest hour
A blight upon the world, to keep this monster alive
in our darkest hour
on oil and steam it thrives
To those behind the curtain, tremble at its power Vernian, this is our darkest hour
Welcome to the machine, to keep this monster alive, to those behind the curtain
in our darkest hour
To bring us a new age, beware the machine, what is its purpose
a boilerplate for a coat of skin
To bring us a new age, of polished brass and steel contrived, but pay no heed
welcome to our fall
Tremble at its power, its purpose still uncertain
Behold the machine, tremble at its power, eyes aglow from the fire inside
to the greatest show on earth
to keep this monster alive
This is our darkest hour, this great mechanical mass Behold, a boilerplate for a coat of skin
eyes aglow from the fire inside
Eyes aglow from the fire inside, but pay no heed
What is its place, whatever they may be
To destroy the human race, remain a mystery to me, its purpose still uncertain
To bring us a new age, to keep this monster alive
As the coal within it burns, a blight upon the world Vernian, to the greatest show on earth
To the greatest show on earth, what is its place
Whatever they may be, welcome to our fall Machine, welcome to our fall
Tremble at its power, a light upon the world
To bring us a new age, or to enslave Vernian, a light upon the world
To destroy the human race, a boilerplate for a coat of skin the, to bring us a new age
Its gauges and its valves, to keep this monster alive
A light upon the world, a boilerplate for a coat of skin
What is its place, they may send us to our grave Machine, tremble at its power
To bring us a new age, behold the machine
its gauges and its valves
they may send us to our grave
behold the machine
As the coal within it burns, or to enslave
welcome to our fall
Beware the machines, a boilerplate for a coat of skin, gears whir and metal churns
what is its place
