The Metal Forge® I have always been a fan of these guys since I first saw them way back when. They are all great chaps, who are stand up individuals who use their left and right turn indicators...except Kenny, but that's another story all together... Favorite track: Godspeed.

Sand in the Gears (Wrecker of Engines) Pistons and machinery Steam and electricity The Captains of industry They live in fear of me Sand in the gears I’m a wrecker of engines Canyons of steel and glass Harbor me in my mask A black flag and a Molotov I’m ready to go off Sand in the gears I’m a wrecker of engines The captains of industry The cops serve as their army They’re all gunning for me My name is Anarchy Sand in the gears I’m a wrecker of engines Sand in the gears I’m a wrecker of engines

I Kill What I Eat Lay your head upon the rail Listen for the sound That’s your impending doom Coming for to mow you down I kill what I eat, nothing goes to waste I kill what I eat, only what I can taste Love doesn’t look like this This isn’t tenderness Love doesn’t look like this I am a wilderness I kill what I eat, nothing goes to waste I kill what I eat, only what I can taste You’re a mistake I’m not ready to make I’ll turn aside. I’ll turn aside for pity’s sake I kill what I eat, nothing goes to waste I kill what I eat, only what I can taste I kill what I eat, nothing goes to waste I kill what I eat, only what I can taste

In the Hall of the Dead Fire in your blood, steam in your head The sound of the horn, the song of the dead Battle is joined, hurry don’t be late Anything can be overcome except for fate Honored ever after in the Hall of the Dead The brave may live forever in the Hall of the Dead Die as you lived, laugh as you die Laughter shakes the rafters in the Hall of the Dead Sweet battle-sweat, red as your dreams The din of steel, drowns out the screams The Sisters Wyrd sit at their loom Weaving a tapestry of comfort, fame, and doom Honored ever after in the Hall of the Dead The brave may live forever in the Hall of the Dead Die as you lived, laugh as you die Laughter shakes the rafters in the Hall of the Dead Through the valley, up the Raven’s Ridge Let your burning cities light my way across that bridge The longest night is coming, the final day must wane Beyond the edge of light fire and chaos reign In the teeth of fear make your life a song We’ll sing it in the darkness to keep our courage strong Honored ever after in the Hall of the Dead The brave may live forever in the Hall of the Dead Die as you lived, laugh as you die Laughter shakes the rafters in the Hall of the Dead Honored ever after in the Hall of the Dead The brave may live forever in the Hall of the Dead Die as you lived, laugh as you die Laughter shakes the rafters in the Hall of the Dead

Cold Sunlight – touches – my skin – where have I been? Darkness – remembered – shaking – I’m cold again I can’t get warm beneath your icy stare I’ve seen you before, but I don’t know where Sunlight touches my skin I’m cold again – cold again Darkness – touches – my heart – touches my sin Sunlight – wasted – shadowed – I’m cold again I can’t get warm beneath your icy stare I’ve seen you before, but I don’t know where Sunlight touches my skin I’m cold again – cold again Sunlight – touche s – my skin – where have I been? Darkness – remembered – shaking – I’m cold again I can’t get warm beneath your icy stare I’ve seen you before, but I don’t know where Sunlight touches my skin I’m cold again – cold again

Godspeed Tenterhooks under your skin You weren’t made for the world you’re in Pick your poison, pour it in Light the fuse and let’s begin Godspeed you on Godspeed you on Godspeed you on your way Life goes by so very fast Burning dreams and sucking glass Pins and needles, needles and pins Just to push the ichor in Godspeed you on Godspeed you on Godspeed you on your way Your wretched heart, your twitching head What they like is being dead You’ve become an endless need And I wish you all Godspeed Godspeed you on Godspeed you on Godspeed you on your way Godspeed you on Godspeed you on Godspeed you on your way
