Arbeit Macht Fleisch |
| Prognathous gears grind, |
| So diligent and serrated they mesh, |
| Toothed cogs chum, |
| So trechant, against soft flesh, |
| Worked to the bone, |
| Up to the hilt, depredated, |
| Raw materialism, |
| To stoke the furnaces, |
| Toiling, rotting, |
| Life slowly slips away, |
| Consumed, inhumed, |
| In this mechanized corruption line, |
| By mincing machinery industrialised — pulped and pulverised, |
| Enslaved to the grind. |
| Blood, sweat, toil, tears, |
| Arbeit macht frei/fleisch. |
| Grave to the grind. |
| (Lead — Amott) |
| Inimitable gears twist, |
| To chum a living grave, |
| Stainless cogs shredding, |
| Scathing pistons bludgeon and flail, |
| Stripping to the bone, |
| Retund mandrels levigate, |
| Just raw material, |
| Your pound of flesh for the suzerain, |
| Toiling, rotting, |
| Life slowly dissipates, |
| Consumed, inhumed, |
| In a corruption line, mechanized, |
| By mincing machinery, industrialized — crunched and brutalised, |
| A grave to the blind. |
| (Lead — Steer) |
