The iron sky is burning red
Children cry while prophets are dead
Gears keep turning, blood in the stone
A thousand voices, but we stand alone
Shadows of the machine, rising in the night
Chains of fire, no end in sight
Hear the echo, hear the scream
We're prisoners inside the dream
Steel and smoke choke the air
Kings of power, they don't care
Ashes fall where hope once grew
The Devil laughs — he already knew
Black sun rising, no salvation
Tears of man fuel damnation
Electric cross, thunder rains
Marching blindly through the flames
Shadows of the machine, rising in the night
Chains of fire, no end in sight
Hear the echo, hear the scream
We're forever trapped in the machine
