The New Black Gold 2013 - Miracle Of Sound

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)
