Metal Skies Open

เนื้อเพลง

[Verse 1] Dust on the cornfield Blue in the dawn Then the whole sky Split like a jaw My dog kept barking At the empty road Mama said hush now But the ground still glowed [Pre-Chorus] One by one The shadows rose Too tall, too cold For human bones Steel in the clouds I heard it groan Something ancient Found its home [Chorus] They came to Earth They came to Earth Machine hearts waking Under our dirt They came to Earth They came to Earth Big iron angels Learning our hurt [Verse 2] Headlights on chrome skin Mirrored the field Every step made The fence line yield I saw their faces Sharp as a blade Burned by the centuries Traveled through haze One knelt down slow In the road dust Like it knew our fear And our rust [Pre-Chorus] One by one The shadows rose Too tall, too cold For human bones Steel in the clouds I heard it groan Something ancient Found its home [Chorus] They came to Earth They came to Earth Machine hearts waking Under our dirt They came to Earth They came to Earth Big iron angels Learning our hurt [Bridge] If they came for war The sky would know If they came for peace Let it show Hands of lightning Eyes of fire We stood still By the tractor tire [Final Chorus] They came to Earth They came to Earth Machine hearts waking Under our dirt They came to Earth They came to Earth Big iron angels Learning our hurt They came to Earth They came to Earth And the world held still When the metal turned warm
