[Куплет 1]
The neon vein is pulsing in the street,
I drag my shadow where the circuits meet.
The glass is cold against my hollow chest,
I’m failing every simulated test.
The signal glitches in my weary mind,
I leave the ghost of who I was behind.
The static hum is all I have to hear,
I’m drowning in a digital frontier.
[Припев]
Oh, there’s steel nails in my heart tonight,
Cutting through the shadows and the light.
I’m breaking down under the iron sky,
Watching all my embers slowly die.
A heavy pulse within the wires deep,
The secrets that the motherboards will keep.
I am the glitch inside your perfect plan,
The wreck of what it meant to be a man.
[Куплет 2]
The grid is shifting into shades of grey,
I lose the hunger for the coming day.
My fingerprints are wiped away by dust,
My iron ego turns to orange rust.
The fear is crawling underneath the skin,
I don’t know where the metal ends within.
The future is a mirror cracked in two,
I’m screaming out, but no one’s coming through.
[Припев]
Oh, there’s steel nails in my heart tonight,
Cutting through the shadows and the light.
I’m breaking down under the iron sky,
Watching all my embers slowly die.
A heavy pulse within the wires deep,
The secrets that the motherboards will keep.
I am the glitch inside your perfect plan,
The wreck of what it meant to be a man.
[Куплет 3]
The architecture screams of empty space,
I cannot find a mask to hide my face.
The processors are cold, the light is dim,
I’m sinking down below the liquid rim.
My pulse is syncing with a brutal beat,
There’s nowhere left for lonely hearts to retreat.
The system thrives upon the pieces torn,
In this machine where tragedy is born.
[Припев]
Oh, there’s steel nails in my heart tonight,
Cutting through the shadows and the light.
I’m breaking down under the iron sky,
Watching all my embers slowly die.
A heavy pulse within the wires deep,
The secrets that the motherboards will keep.
I am the glitch inside your perfect plan,
The wreck of what it meant to be a man.
[Переход]
Burn the wires, cut the ties,
Watch the void behind my eyes...
Everything is losing form,
Frozen in a silent storm...
[Заключительный припев]
Oh, there’s steel nails in my heart tonight,
Cutting through the shadows and the light!!!
I’m breaking down under the iron sky,
Watching all my embers slowly die!!!
A heavy pulse within the wires deep,
The secrets that the motherboards will keep!!!
I am the glitch inside your perfect plan,
The wreck of what it meant to be a man!!!
[Завершение]
The nails drive deeper, out of sight,
I vanish into electric night!..
The steel consumes the final part,
The cold has stopped my iron heart...
