The atmosphere is heavy
Tastes of sulfur and of dust
A graveyard for the weak
A paradise for rust
We dropped out of the orbit
Through the violet acid clouds
To land upon a coffin wrapped in burning, stony shrouds
There is no water here to drink
No green to grace the eye
Just cliffs that cut the horizon like a jagged, broken lie
The thermometer is shattering
The air filtration screams
We are walking on the surface of our nightmares and our dreams
They said the rock was brittle, they said the core was dead
But I see the map is pulsing with a territorial red
We don’t need the sunlight, We don’t need the rain
We only need the metal that is forged inside the pain
Pour the mountain down the throat, let the Foundry roar
We are casting something stronger than we ever were before
From the river of the lava
(From the river of the lava)
Where the molten giants run
(Where the molten giants run)
We will build a spine of tungsten underneath a dying sun
Burn it all to build it up
Let the smoke ascend
On Vulcanus, the factory is the only faithful friend
There’s a worm beneath the basalt
A king without a crown
Who traces lines in ash and dust to burn the trespass down
He swims through stone like water
He hates the rhythm of the drill
A guardian of the silence that we’re promising to kill
But I have brought the artillery
I’ve brought the tank and shell
To evict the ancient demons from this lucrative new hell
Capture every geyser, pump the blood right from the ground
We will turn the silence into one unending sound
They said the rock was brittle, they said the core was dead
But now the radar’s screaming and the ground is running red
We don’t need the sunlight
We don’t need the rain
We only need the metal that is forged inside the pain
Metallurgic science, Molten evolution
The pollution isn’t poison, It’s the solution
Pour the mountain down the throat, let the Foundry roar
We are casting something stronger than we ever were before
From the river of the lava
Where the molten giants run
We will build a spine of tungsten underneath a dying sun
Burn it all to build it up
Let the smoke ascend
On Vulcanus, the factory is the only faithful friend
