Dual Storms

Verse 1

Old walls rising from the ash

Cold teeth bite with a hollow snap

Centuries of salt on a jagged shore

Cruel words knock at the heavy door

Ghosts in iron

Screaming names

Feeding the fury with the ancient flames

Shadows of a broken god

Waving the stick and the iron rod

Pre-Chorus

History repeats its hardest lesson

Dressed in a dusty black veil

The sky is turning gray tonight

Chorus

Ancient hunger meets the machine

Tangled in the wires in between

Two storms hitting the coast at once

Locked in a terrible dance

One kills for a secret sign

One erases every line

Caught in the middle of a double war

Nobody knows what we're fighting for

Verse 2

The desk clerk has a plastic heart

Polished silver tools to tear us apart

Rows of data on a blinking screen

Nothing remains of the life we've seen

Efficiency over the bone

Frozen souls on a glass throne

The logic of a cooling stone

Leaves us drifting and alone

Pre-Chorus

Numbers replace the beating rhythm

Choking under a paper sky

The sun is fading out tonight

Chorus

Ancient hunger meets the machine

Tangled in the wires in between

Two storms hitting the coast at once

Locked in a terrible dance

One kills for a secret sign

One erases every line

Caught in the middle of a double war

Nobody knows what we're fighting for

Bridge

Darkness from the past

Chrome for the future

Stitched up together

Like a rough suture

Blind belief

Cold technique

Left us weak

I came

I saw

I broke

Chorus

Ancient hunger meets the machine

Tangled in the wires in between

Two storms hitting the coast at once

Locked in a terrible dance

One kills for a secret sign

One erases every line

Caught in the middle of a double war

Nobody knows what we're fighting for
