One of thousands of pillars
Keeping the skies from the soil
My goals are clear
Synthetically unstoppable
Slaughtering the roaches
I'm the heavenward clockwork
Purging the ungrateful scum
Greasing the engine make it turn
Purging the ungrateful scum
I am justice
They turned their back on the world
When the strife began (Freedom ends)
They rose up from the ground
Spreading ordered fear
The kingdom in the skies
Must come to an end (Set Ablaze)
The clockwork hands are turning
There are no feelings left
I am down here to keep this mill running
Smoke, Coal, Flames, Dirt, Steam, Energy
Igniting coal let it burn
(Ignite the coal let it burn)
Greasing the engine make it turn
(Greasing the engine make it turn)
Obey me, disgusting scorn
(Kneel down you sickening scorn)
I am power
They turned their back on the world
When the strife began (Freedom ends)
They rose up from the ground
Spreading ordered fear
The kingdom in the skies
Must come to an end (Set Ablaze)
The clockwork hands are turning
There are no feelings left
I'm still thinking
(Smoke, Coal, Flames, Dirt, Steam, Energy, Smoke, Coal, Flames, Dirt, Steam, Energy, Set Ablaze)
I'm still feeling
(Smoke, Coal, Flames, Dirt, Steam, Energy, Smoke, Coal, Flames, Dirt, Steam, Energy, Set Ablaze)
I'm still living
(Smoke, Coal, Flames, Dirt, Steam, Energy, Smoke, Coal, Flames, Dirt, Steam, Energy, Set Ablaze)
They turned their back on the world
When the strife began (Freedom ends)
They rose up from the ground
Spreading ordered fear
The kingdom in the skies
Must come to an end (Set Ablaze)
The clockwork hands are turning
There are no feelings left

A Beam of Light

I'm still feeling
I'm still living
We've been working on the mill for a long time
Mindless puppets of the kingdom in the skies
Lifes were drained to the core before my eyes
Fighting fire with fire, this new flame I'll ignite
For my sacrifice will set him free
Finding the last beam of light inside him
Hoping to clear the darkness in his mind
I still can't believe how could he've turned heavenward
Will my sacrifice stop the clockwork from turning?
After all these years, few still stand against thee
Piercing through his mind I'll reach the remnant being
Past will come back to light, present will haunt him
A newborn martyr will set us free
For his sacrifice will set us free
Finding the last beam of light inside him
Hoping to clear the darkness in his mind
I still can't believe how could he've turned heavenward
Will my sacrifice stop the clockwork from turning?

So, It begins
My insurrection starts to assemble
A moment that for too long I cherished
It warms my soul, yet... freezes my blood
Oh, the tyrants in the sky
So reliant on their power
Remain blind to the cracks in its pillars
I'll turn the mill in disorder
He'll get here as it starts to crumble
As I set this place on fire
Come at me brother
See the faces worn out by fear
See the souls erode in pain
Remember who you were
Citizen, you're charged for riot and attempt on public order
Due to the severity of your acts, your rights do not apply and sentence is immediate execution
So, is this how it ends?
Am I going to be just another cold death on your shoulders?
Entertain this mob and do it at once
Come at me brother
See the faces worn out by fear
See the souls erode in pain
Remember who you were

Is there anybody else in here?
If I scream will anyone hear?
Soaring through this blank infinity
I can see the machinery
The engine starts to crumble
Like wraiths, so subtle
These memories buried deep
Reminiscents, a past I couldn't see
Surrounded by faceless ghosts, chasing me
Through my fingers his blood still weeps
There's something stuck inside my head
(A beam of light shines in the dark)
A blasting ache that strikes my heart
For Every answer I tried to find
(A pillar's falling from the sky)
The pain arises from the deep again
I can't tell whether time has passed by
It seems like I'm confined
In a prison without bars or guards
A cage of my own void
In solitude I remain, swaying... fraying...
Held in abeyance
Held in abeyance
In abeyance...
There's something stuck inside my head
(A beam of light shines in the dark)
A blasting ache that strikes my heart
For Every answer I tried to find
