Echoes of the Assembly Line

Verse 1: In the heart of steel and smoke, Where the daylight never shows, Machines hum a ceaseless tune, As my weary spirit grows. Verse 2: Hours blend into a haze, Lost in this industrial maze, Dreams of home are distant stars, Shining through the iron bars. Pre-Chorus: Gears turn, the hours blend, Dreams of freedom start to bend, Echoes of a distant place, Where my heart begins to race. Chorus: I want to go home, leave this factory behind, Find the light that's been confined. Hear the song of the open road, Where my dreams can be bestowed. Verse 3: Ringing anvils, metal's cry, Shadows cast beneath the sky, Hands are calloused, heart is torn, Yearning for the break of dawn. Verse 4: Every clang a bitter sound, Chains that keep me factory-bound, Sweat and toil, day and night, For a glimpse of morning light. Pre-Chorus: Gears turn, the hours blend, Dreams of freedom start to bend, Echoes of a distant place, Where my heart begins to race. Chorus: I want to go home, leave this factory behind, Find the light that's been confined. Hear the song of the open road, Where my dreams can be bestowed. Bridge: Through the clang and the grind, I hold the vision in my mind, Fields of green, skies of blue, A world outside this iron hue. Verse 5: Smoke-filled skies and iron walls, In this cage my spirit calls, For the freedom of the wild, Where the earth and sky beguile. Verse 6: Factory life is all I know, But my heart's where rivers flow, One day I'll break these chains, Chase the sun through open plains. Pre-Chorus: Gears turn, the hours blend, Dreams of freedom start to bend, Echoes of a distant place, Where my heart begins to race. Chorus: I want to go home, leave this factory behind, Find the light that's been confined. Hear the song of the open road, Where my dreams can be bestowed. Outro: One day I'll break these chains, Leave behind the steel and stains, Walk the path where freedom lies, Underneath the open skies. Final Chorus: I want to go home, leave this factory behind, Find the light that's been confined. Hear the song of the open road, Where my dreams can be bestowed. Outro (Reprise): One day I'll break these chains, Leave behind the steel and stains, Walk the path where freedom lies, Underneath the open skies.
