When the Engines Feast I

Man has built the beast 
Rought from blood and bone 
sweat and tears of creation 
man has built the engines that
feast on the body blood marrow
stars die as empires rises from the east 
cold bathing all in holocaustic light
hollow inside covering 
all in ashes, flesh and mascara 
Horror!
Born to none the engines feast 
mechanical heart thumping 
slave to the engines beat
The singularity of one flesh and machine
Under a bloated red sun walking in silhouette
Fear coming from the East 
as cruel Crimson tears flow 
As the infernal engines humms
When the engines feast
Man has built the beast 
bought in blood and bone 
sweat and tears creation of one
man has built the engines 
they feast on the body blood marrow
Valhalla starts to die as empires 
rises from the east
When the engines feast
