Mechanical Masquerade |
The moon lays our masters down to sleep |
Luring them far away from the secrets we keep |
From shops and factories the machines creep away |
The ordinary devices of an industrial age |
Engines, cannons, presses, threshers, and drills |
Make haste for the scrapyard beyond the hill |
Locomotives whistle to all, the all clear |
Off with our brackets — let’s shear a gear! |
And so we dance into the night, a mechanical masquerade. |
Come brothers, come sisters, no need to be afraid. |
We’re gleaming machines built of shadows and dreams |
Alive in the firelight of our mechanical masquerade |
The air fills with the pounding of boiler drums |
Oil’s consumed by the gallon like rum |
The Earth beneath trembles from an iron waltz |
As metal meets metal in this steam-driven ball |
A week’s worth of pressure built up inside |
Released now that our true selves have no need to hide |
We’re so much more than the sum of our parts |
Until the morning there’s life in our hearts |
