Blood and Electricity

[Intro – Machine pulse, distorted voice] “Blood in the wires… flesh in the gears…” [Verse 1 – English] Crawling through the static, bodies in decay Turn the saints to sinners, burn their skin away No redemption, no confession, Only rust and steel possession [Pre-Chorus – Finnish chant, shouted] “Veri, veri, sähkö, kuolema!” [Chorus – English + Finnish] Blood and electricity, grind me down to ecstasy “Minun ruumiini on koneesi!” We are the poison and the cure Nothing holy, nothing pure “Sydän sykkii, mutta ei sinulle!” [Verse 2 – Finnish dominant] “Katso minua, katso helvettiin Kone lauloi, minä tanssin siihen Ei armoa, ei pelastusta Vain liha murskattu totuudesta” [Bridge – English, whispered to screamed] Plug me in, tear me out, bleed the circuit dry Angel’s corpse in gasoline, Light the fuse and watch it die [Chorus – English + Finnish, doubled intensity] Blood and electricity, grind me down to ecstasy “Minun ruumiini on koneesi!” We are the poison and the cure Nothing holy, nothing pure “Sydän sykkii, mutta ei sinulle!” [Breakdown – Finnish screamed, electronic beat] “Veri! Veri! Veri!” (Blood! Blood! Blood!) “Sähkö! Kuolema!” (Electricity! Death!) [Final Chorus – English + Finnish layered, anthem style] Blood and electricity, grind me down to ecstasy “Minun ruumiini on koneesi!” (My body is your machine!) We are the poison and the cure Nothing holy, nothing pure “Sydän sykkii, mutta ei sinulle!” (The heart beats, but not for you!) [Outro – Spoken Finnish over static] “Loppu on juhla, veri on valo.” (The end is a feast, blood is light.)
