The Machine That Carries Death

Verse 1

No reflection, no light

No driver, no life

Just a darkness staring back

Verse 2

Born from steel beneath a dying moon

A shape of shadows coming far too soon

A coat of black that swallows every flame

No maker's mark, no number, no name

Verse 3

A body built from something we don't know

A thousand secrets buried down below

The glass is black, the silence deep

There's something there that doesn't sleep

Pre-Chorus

No handle, no key

No way inside

The doors will open

When it decides

Chorus

Behind the black windows

Something waits for me

A hollow place where nothing lives

But something I can't see

Behind the black windows

There's no way to know

If it's a machine that carries death

Or a door to somewhere below

Verse 4

No lock to break, no hinge to bend

The doors obey a will that has no end

They open slowly, never make a sound

As if the darkness wants you underground

Verse 5

The ones who entered never came outside

No trace of blood, no reason why

No broken bones, no final breath

Just empty roads and unanswered death

Pre-Chorus

A hollow chamber

A world apart

A hungry thing

With a metal heart

Chorus

Behind the black windows

Something waits for me

A hollow place where nothing lives

But something I can't see

Behind the black windows

There's no way to know

If it's a machine that carries death

Or a door to somewhere below

Bridge

Are they sleeping?

Are they dead?

Are they calling

From inside its head?

Is there a room

Beyond the night?

A thousand victims

Out of sight?

Does it consume them?

Does it keep them?

Does it change them

As it feeds them?

Open the door!

Show me the truth!

What lies beneath

That midnight roof?

No blood!

No bones!

No way back home!

The engine turns!

The headlights glow!

And down the road

The shadows grow!

Chorus

Behind the black windows

Something waits for me

A thousand unanswered questions

Buried where no one can see

Behind the black windows

The darkness has no end

You may enter as a stranger

But you may never leave again

Outro

The doors are closed

The windows black

No one knows

What's waiting back

And somewhere in that darkness...

Something is still awake
