At the Edge of the World
Temperature rising on the continental waste
Waving, shaking the steady vapor chase
The sun-kissed arches high in the bright
Give off vibrations from the sea of black and white
Cross the expanse, great gold goliaths stand
Machines of men watch over hallowed land
The crater they dug still burns at their feet
The wonders they crushed still buried underneath
The festivals and sacred rites
Hail the observers and their watch tonight
Effigies on bonfires glow
Hordes of dignitaries huddled in the snow
Their groaning pleas unheard until now
Even the skeptics can't disavow
The grinding gears and shimmering facades
Of the awakening mechanical gods
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
The towering columns burst apart in boiling steam
(Watching the walls, painted silver and gold)
Electric eyes, disintegrating laser beams
(Titans unbound, and the mysteries of old)
A hellish landscape rolls across the blistering cold
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
Colossal battalions at the edge of the world
Silver swords and onyx spears
Pulsing orbs of golden spheres
Their crushing vice grip shatters rock
The fleet of ships left smoldering on the docks
Traversing over hills and fields
Three thousand feet of silver steel
Finally gathered, their engines drone
They open the portal to the unknown
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
The towering columns burst apart in boiling steam
(Watching the walls, painted silver and gold)
Electric eyes, disintegrating laser beams
(Titans unbound, and the mysteries of old)
A hellish landscape rolls across the blistering cold
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
Colossal battalions at the edge of the world
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
The towering columns burst apart in boiling steam
(Watching the walls, painted silver and gold)
Electric eyes, disintegrating laser beams
(Titans unbound, and the mysteries of old)
A hellish landscape rolls across the blistering cold
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
Colossal battalions at the edge of the world
Waving, shaking the steady vapor chase
The sun-kissed arches high in the bright
Give off vibrations from the sea of black and white
Cross the expanse, great gold goliaths stand
Machines of men watch over hallowed land
The crater they dug still burns at their feet
The wonders they crushed still buried underneath
The festivals and sacred rites
Hail the observers and their watch tonight
Effigies on bonfires glow
Hordes of dignitaries huddled in the snow
Their groaning pleas unheard until now
Even the skeptics can't disavow
The grinding gears and shimmering facades
Of the awakening mechanical gods
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
The towering columns burst apart in boiling steam
(Watching the walls, painted silver and gold)
Electric eyes, disintegrating laser beams
(Titans unbound, and the mysteries of old)
A hellish landscape rolls across the blistering cold
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
Colossal battalions at the edge of the world
Silver swords and onyx spears
Pulsing orbs of golden spheres
Their crushing vice grip shatters rock
The fleet of ships left smoldering on the docks
Traversing over hills and fields
Three thousand feet of silver steel
Finally gathered, their engines drone
They open the portal to the unknown
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
The towering columns burst apart in boiling steam
(Watching the walls, painted silver and gold)
Electric eyes, disintegrating laser beams
(Titans unbound, and the mysteries of old)
A hellish landscape rolls across the blistering cold
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
Colossal battalions at the edge of the world
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
The towering columns burst apart in boiling steam
(Watching the walls, painted silver and gold)
Electric eyes, disintegrating laser beams
(Titans unbound, and the mysteries of old)
A hellish landscape rolls across the blistering cold
(Standing on guard at the edge of the world)
Colossal battalions at the edge of the world
