I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down
I hear empire down
I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill
I hear Dive, bombers, and
Empire down
Empire down
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
Get pretty but you and me We got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire, now as then
We don’t doubt, we don’t take direction
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me We look hard
We look through
We look hard to see for real
Such things I hear, they don’t make sense
I don’t see much evidence
I don’t feel
I don’t feel
I don’t feel
A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad
Now it’s done…
I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down…
We got the empire, now as then
We don’t doubt, we don’t take reflection
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me…

A gothic band named The Sisters Of Mercy will be shooting a video for their song in our factory today. So if you see a 90 pound pale man prancing around as if he's making a list for the gas chamber, pay no mind. Business as usual. Also, Friday is suspenders day.
There was nothing better than those dark alley clubs with all your Goth brothers and sisters. Running around the city in the dark, dark nights until just before Dawn. Yes, we were the Vampires lost in the dark city. The 80s, the best memories ever and forever.
Oh man that bassline. It's not difficult but it's soooooo good. Been playing that riff on my bass the whole evening. Can't get if out of my head. Awesome song!
