The Reckoning of Rust

[Intro]
[Verse]
The furnace died on a Tuesday night
They turned off every flickering light
Took the hammers and the heavy steel
Broken dreams under a corporate wheel
Now the skyline is a jagged scar
I’m watching from a local bar
[Pre-Chorus]
The ink is dry on the dirty deed
A playground built on hollow greed
They think we’re gone without a trace
But I remember every single face
[Chorus]
Burn it down to the cold hard floor
I ain't working for you no more
You stole the dirt and you stole the sky
But you can't look me in the eye
This is the reckoning of the rust
Watch your empire turn to dust
[Hook]
Turn to dust
In us we trust
The iron’s gonna bust
[Verse]
Valet parking where the foundry sat
A silver spoon for a corporate rat
Silk and marble on a bed of coal
You bought the town but not my soul
The sirens scream in the dead of day
While you wash the soot and grime away
[Pre-Chorus]
The ink is dry on the dirty deed
A playground built on hollow greed
They think we’re gone without a trace
But I remember every single face
[Chorus]
Burn it down to the cold hard floor
I ain't working for you no more
You stole the dirt and you stole the sky
But you can't look me in the eye
This is the reckoning of the rust
Watch your empire turn to dust
[Solo]
[Bridge]
We were the muscle and the bone
You're just a king on a stolen throne
The foundation is starting to crack
And we’re taking every penny back
Yeah, we’re taking it back
With a heart of black
[Breakdown]
No more silence
No more lies
Look at the fire
In these eyes
Can you hear it?
The sound of the end?
We’re the break
That you’ll never bend
[Chorus]
Burn it down to the cold hard floor
I ain't working for you no more
You stole the dirt and you stole the sky
But you can't look me in the eye
This is the reckoning of the rust
Watch your empire turn to dust
[Hook]
Turn to dust
In us we trust
The iron’s gonna bust
[Outro]
