The City of Rust
Metallic jungle, bronze streets
Liars entwine, heartless sleep
New age zombies of tyranny
Control this twisted, sadistic society
Minerals extracted from the mass
Left the poor to reside in slums of brass
Corrosion slowly takes its grasp
Memories of past fidelity
Destroyed by envoys of perfidy
Birth to the magnesium fields
Dealers handing out happy meals
Injected mercury fills the vein
A lethal chemical mix for the insane
Addicted to the metallic spree
Savage life of a junkie
Copper filled eyes as the inner cogwheels turn
Slaves to metal, slowly their freedom burns
For in
the City of Rust, Dreams combust
