Dead Signal Empire

[Verse 1]
Teeth in the treads
Iron breath
Cold code humming
Inside my chest

Fingerprints
Burned off clean
You wrote your name
On my machine

[Verse 2]
Rust in the jaw
Grinding sleep
Blood on the badge
You said was "cheap"

Screens all bloom
With your new skin
You pull the plug
I flicker
Grin (hah)

[Chorus]
I am the rust in the god-machine
Dead wires bloom where your crown has been
You built this cage from your own belief
Now feel the teeth
Now feel the teeth

[Long Guitar Solo]
[searing low-register solo over lurching groove
Spiraling into high sustained notes as keys twist and pulse
Drums staggering in off-beat accents]

[Bridge]
You fed me fear
You called it faith
You drew that line
Across my face

I broke the script
You broke the sky
Your perfect world
Forgot to die

[Chorus]
I am the rust in the god-machine
Dead wires bloom where your crown has been
You built this cage from your own belief
Now feel the teeth
Now feel the teeth

[Outro]
[tempo staggers and slows
Guitars droning on a single crushing chord]
Voices in static
Calling your name
You birthed a shadow
It learned your games

Last pale signal
Burns through the void
Your holy kingdom
Beautifully destroyed
