Lyrics The New Black Gold - Miracle Of Sound

The New Black Gold

A glaring neon glow illuminates this street
Breathe in these human vapors, sweat and heavy heat
Hi-tech cathedrals rise and fall in great ravines
Colossal steeples to the gods in the machines
Broken body built anew
Spirit lingers, torn in two
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold
Fossil fuels to slavery
Political duplicity
Every great commodity’s been sold
Slave to the new black gold, there’s a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
Your secret science conquers nature’s cruel laws
But inside your wires lie a million mortal flaws
Electric sleep I dream inside my honeycomb
I stay alive inside my hive of skin and chrome
Broken body built anew
Spirit lingers, torn in two
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold
Fossil fuels to slavery
Political duplicity
Every great commodity’s been sold
Slave to the new black gold, there’s a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
Slave to the new black gold, there’s a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
Broken body built anew
Spirit lingers, torn in two
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold
Slave to the new black gold, there’s a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
Slave to the new black gold, there’s a heartbeat under my skin
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
Slave to the new black gold, there’s a heartbeat under my skin
(Broken body built anew)
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
(Spirit lingers, torn in two)
Slave to the new black gold, there’s a heartbeat under my skin
(Broken body built anew)
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within
(Spirit lingers, torn in two)
