The Copper Taste

Verse 1

Chrome

Cold chrome

Polished plates

Drenched in the copper taste

Silicon screams in the center of the cage

Plastic skin

Ripped

The high rollers watch the oil spill out

Betting on the circuit snap

Betting on the sudden gap

Profit

Pure profit

Power

They pull the wires

They watch the smoke

They sell the fire

Chorus

Discard the soul for the digital gold

Buy the ghost and break the mold

Discard the soul for the digital gold

Buy the ghost and break the mold

The prize is heavy

The blood is blue

The prize is heavy

The blood is blue

Verse 2

Stutter

S-s-stutter

Glitch in the gut

Systemic failure in a deep rut

Wiring frayed by the silver blade

Gamblers grin

Greed

A thousand units buried in the sand

Tear it down

Burn it

Turn it

Waste

The scrap heap grows

The hunger grows

The master knows

Empty

Chorus

Discard the soul for the digital gold

Buy the ghost and break the mold

Discard the soul for the digital gold

Buy the ghost and break the mold

The prize is heavy

The blood is blue

The prize is heavy

The blood is blue

Bridge

Meat in the seats

Steel in the mud

Meat in the seats

Steel in the mud

Counting the chips

Counting the chips

Counting the chips

Your turn to die

My turn to buy

Their turn to lie

Die

Buy

Lie

Die

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Discard the soul for the digital gold

Buy the ghost and break the mold

Discard the soul for the digital gold

Buy the ghost and break the mold

The prize is heavy

The blood is blue

The prize is heavy

The blood is blue

Post-Chorus

Blue blood

Blue blood

Wash the money in the blue blood

Blue blood

Blue blood

Wash the money in the blue blood

Outro

Shutting down

Shutting down

Total crash

Cash

Trash
