Engine of the Dark

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Static on the wire, shadows on the wall Standing on the edge waiting for the drop to fall You build a house of cards, then you watch it burn Counting all the lessons that you never learned [Pre-Chorus] I hear the echo in the quiet room A ticking clock inside the impending doom You sell a dream that's hollow to the core I won't be collateral anymore! [Chorus] And I'm trapped inside the engine of the dark Trying to ignite a single dying spark! It's an endless wheel, a ghost in the machine Living in the spaces of the soft unseen! Yeah, you built this emptiness! Yeah, you built this emptiness! [Verse 2] Ripples in the glass, pressure on my chest Giving up the pieces just to find some rest You promised me the world, delivered only dust Turned every golden promise into iron rust [Pre-Chorus] I hear the echo in the quiet room A ticking clock inside the impending doom You sell a dream that's hollow to the core I won't be collateral anymore! [Chorus] And I'm trapped inside the engine of the dark Trying to ignite a single dying spark! It's an endless wheel, a ghost in the machine Living in the spaces of the soft unseen! Yeah, you built this emptiness! Yeah, you built this emptiness! [Bridge] (Screamed) Tear it down! Break the frame! Fade away into the flame! I won't play your rigged-up game! Tear it down! Break the frame! [Guitar Solo - Heavy & Distorted] [Chorus] And I'm trapped inside the engine of the dark Trying to ignite a single dying spark! It's an endless wheel, a ghost in the machine Living in the spaces of the soft unseen! Yeah, you built this emptiness! Yeah, you built this emptiness! [Outro] Soft unseen... Just a ghost in the machine... It's empty now.
