Steel (Remake)

(Goes in between Revolution I and Revolution II) Lyrics: Brindon's got a new figurehead He's made of steel like you and I The Hounds march to his every whim He feels the pain like you and I He's got the ball-bearings to do the job He's got the spunk, and he's got a plan. He speaks in a soothing monotone, and... If anyone can break us out of here, he can! What it takes a village to raise, my love, it takes a world to feel. Pain is affirmation of life and underneath this steel is steel. There was a happy world once, you know. I knew it so well. It was so real, alive, pulsing with ideas and art. People sang of outrage and dissent, not submission; But now we're steel, dead, Our eyes shooting daggers into the endless void. The very heavens sigh at the fate we spun for ourselves. I feel the need to resist rising... Rising with the glory of the sun! I feel my shackles disintegrating... I'm a wild crazy mare and I feel the need to run! I feel a break in the algorithm... As if someone's hacked the Overmind. But it's probably just the new programming... I feel anxiety returning... I feel a strange, indescribable... Damn it! But I'm getting ahead of myself... Now where was I? Oh yes, I remember it so well... There was a simple cafe near my house where I'd go for coffee in the rain. It was so beautiful, yet tragic I felt like I was Marlon Brando, like I could shout all my troubles away, but we only had five years left to live. Oh, how the decades pass with apathy... Now Brindon's Hounds patrol the streets. Now the Overmind controls all. My love, you have lost your footing and now you can't go to the ball. Your feet fail, you faceplant Into the cold unfeeling floor. The day gives way to eerie silence, And now there's someone at the door... What it takes a people to save, my love, it takes a song to feel. But I'm too far gone for all that. Underneath my steel is more steel.
