Smash the Slate

verse

Seven days to scrape the ground.

Seven days to pack the town.

Line the workers by the gate.

Teach the children how to wait.

Every number is the same.

Every record clears your name.

chorus

Break the glass.

Smash the slate.

Rip the cables from the state.

Tear the sky in two.

There is no one left to rule.

Push the engine into red.

March directly past the dead.

Kill the clock.

Reverse the sun.

Our war has just begun.

verse

Masks of porcelain and chalk.

Censor every word we talk.

Lock the intake.

Turn the screw.

Tell the crowd what they must do.

You built cages in the dirt.

You claimed iron does not hurt.

chorus

Break the glass.

Smash the slate.

Rip the cables from the state.

Tear the sky in two.

There is no one left to rule.

Push the engine into red.

March directly past the dead.

Kill the clock.

Reverse the sun.

Our war has just begun.

bridge

No overseer.

No warden near.

No border drawn across the rock.

We crack the gears.

We strike the lock.

Split the road.

Rend the sea.

Set the captive workers free.

Stand tall.

Stand tall.

Watch the empire fall.

chorus

Break the glass.

Smash the slate.

Rip the cables from the state.

Tear the sky in two.

There is no one left to rule.

Push the engine into red.

March directly past the dead.

Kill the clock.

Reverse the sun.

Our war has just begun.

outro

You cannot hold the ground.

The iron strikes the ground.

The iron strikes the ground.

Bring it down.

Bring it down.

Bring it down.

Down.
