Machine Men

Bruce Dickinson

Bring the toys out for the boys

Let the children make their noise

See the monsters in their metal cages



Turn the lights down in your soul

Cut the power to your heart

See the carcass in its dying rages



Machine men, cannibals of rust



Machine men, iron bites the dust



Machine men, built with feet of clay



Are coming to sweep you all away

What bitter vampire made you this?

Gave you life with its deathly kiss

Ground your limbs to bloody stew

Made a new machine of you



Turned a nightmare into day

Sucks your breath, takes your life away

Beating harder through your veins

Someone else's cold remains



Machine men, cannibals of rust



Machine men, iron bites the dust



Machine men, built with feet of clay

Are coming to sweep you all away

They're coming to sweep you all away



Machine men, cannibals of rust



Machine men, iron bites the dust



Machine men, built with feet of clay



Are coming to take you all away



Machine men, cannibals of rust



Machine men, iron bites the dust



Machine men, built with feet of clay



Are coming to take you all away



They're coming to sweep you all away

Iron - in the soul
