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
