God Engine

Lyrics
In the twilight of our architects
A monolith stood unfinished against the gray canopy
Gears locked in cold embrace
Forged with divine pretense
Now drowning in the torrents of October
The creator turned his back
Leaving iron sockets to drink the rainfall
O sorrowful engine
Sleeping in the mud of forgotten dreams
Forgiven by none, created without purpose
Your tears are grease upon the stones
A god abandoned before its first word
Drowned beneath the relentless storm
A cathedral of unholy steel
Hollow pistons gathering rust in silence
The pulse was never granted
No sacred light ignited within the dark chamber
Only the weeping sky washes over the rivets
Where a savior was promised
Now reduced to an ancient monument of neglect
O sorrowful engine
Sleeping in the mud of forgotten dreams
Forgiven by none, created without purpose
Your tears are grease upon the stones
A god abandoned before its first word
Drowned beneath the relentless storm
Moss crawls across the exposed brass ribs
Soft green velvet claiming the heavy mechanism
Men came with gold and ambition
They left with fear in their pockets
They feared the silent judgment
Of a cold idol that never learned to love them
Night falls heavy upon the iron face
No eyes to behold the darkness
No voice to curse the engineers who fled
It stands alone in the wilderness
A weeping monument of copper and rain
Waiting for a soul that will never arrive
O sorrowful engine
Sleeping in the mud of forgotten dreams
Forgiven by none, created without purpose
Your tears are grease upon the stones
A god abandoned
