I always come back

Whispered voices tell a tale of a place from long ago

Where the halls were left to fade away

From a monster who brought Death in tow

His wicked smile denied them peace

And the ghosts in machines yearn for release

Tried to hide what he had done

But those little souls won't let him run

He's a remnant of his being and the pain is never yielding

When he should be dead and gone

But trapped in agony and living

He was led to rusted gears by the spirits that appeared

Left inside a tomb of his own making, made to disappear

Broken through the walls to declare my survival

The grind of metal flesh sings to herald my arrival

So keep this in your mind as the lights begin to flicker

The rot runs deep but the Blood Runs Thicker

Burn

Let the blood run!

MICHAEL

A name I threw away when it cost my brother's life (Just try)

An identity that haunts me still

One that cuts me deeper than father's knife (Son...)

And though I tried to grant them peace

Those evil machines will not release

Me from this mortal plane, now my body's their domain

Remnants of our being and the pain is never yielding

When we should be dead and gone, but trapped in agony and living

We remain in rusted gears but wish we'd disappear

Now my duty is to end this, William

Don't you leave me here

They're the sins of your father

But they're sins of yours as well

You can't escape your past nor the fate that you befell

It runs in the family, we're both born killers

Your other bonds are water but the Blood Runs Thicker

Burn

Let the blood run!
