Pantograph - Foamer Revolution [Album version]

Chorus

Pressure climbs high in the cylinder walls

Steel snakes out across the moors

Piston stroke timing defines the age

Heat is the master of force

Heat is the master of force

Verse 1

Liverpool marks the starting line

Novelty falls behind while Sans Pareil suffers a catastrophic burst

Five locomotives arrived for the Rainhill Trials to prove their worth

Rocket won by showing no leaking joints

Stephenson saw the grade

Conquering the uphill fight with a multi-tubular boiler

Gravity gave way to the traction of steam and the iron path

Chorus

Pressure climbs high in the cylinder walls

Steel snakes out across the moors

Piston stroke timing defines the age

Heat is the master of force

Heat is the master of force

Verse 2

Rudolf Rudolf Rudolf built a compression ignition cycle to bypass the spark

Adiabatic heating occurs when the plunger descends

Vaporized fuel meets a thermal wall

Voltage flows from the rotating field of a massive copper coil

Reaction turbines spin faster than any oscillating arm ever could

Alternating current killed the reach of the narrow belt

Efficiency found in the spiral blades

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Look at the grid today

Coal fires still boil the

Chorus

Pressure climbs high in the cylinder walls

Steel snakes out across the moors

Piston stroke timing defines the age

Heat is the master of force

Heat is the master of force

Verse 4

Robert Stirling envisioned the closed system loop

Expanding the gas in a hot end displacement

Radioisotopes keep the regenerator humming for decades

In the vacuum of space where no oxygen burns

A quiet movement of metal

Converting the rays of a distant sun into mechanical work

Thermal gradients sustain the drive through the longest winter nights

Chorus

Pressure climbs high in the cylinder walls

Steel snakes out across the moors

Piston stroke timing defines the age

Heat is the master of force

Heat is the master of force

Verse 5

Transitioning now from the boiling pot to the magnet wall

The FRC stabilizes the burning ring

Pulsed plasma fusion defies the old boiler law

Superconductors holding the ghost of a star in a cage of lightning

Magnetic fields reversed and crushed into a high beta state

A trillion degrees of kinetic potential

Transcending the vapor for the sheer pull of the ion stream

Chorus

Pressure climbs high in the cylinder walls

Steel snakes out across the moors

Piston stroke timing defines the age

Heat is the master of force

Heat is the master of force

Outro

Heat is the master

Force is the master

The cycle remains

Always the same

Pressure rising

Ever rising

Foamer revolution

Evolution

Steam becomes the star

Heat is the master of force
