- Behold the Machine
"Welcome to the machine.
Welcome one and all.
To the greatest show on earth.
Welcome to our fall."
A Boiler plate for a coat of skin,
on oil and steam it thrives.
A heart of iron pumps the blood
- Her Clockwork Heart
Step into the looking glass, don't be afraid,
and I will tell you of a lovelorn masquerade.
A brilliant young inventor, a maiden so divine.
That they swore their love, would cross beyond all space and time.
The years flew by and love was grand.
She wept with joy when he asked for her hand.
- Noir
[Sin City sample:] The night is hot as hell. It's a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town. I'm staring at a goddess. She's telling me she wants me. I'm not going to waste one more second wondering how I got so lucky. She smells like angels oughta smell.
[Sunset Boulevard sample:] ...and those wonderful people out there in the dark...
[Sin City sample:] Walk down the right back alley in Sin City, and you can find anything.
[The Maltese Falcon sample:] --What is it? --The, ah...stuff that dreams are made of.
- Queen Of The Delta
Misty southern bayous, mysterious ceremonies, and a voodoo priestess who knows your desires and sees your deceit...
From Dahomey she came
To the shores of Naw' Leans
She brought her creed
And shared her beliefs
With a Veve she conjures the spirits to guide her
- The Alchemist's Vision
All the trinkets
All the gems in the world
A rare attraction
A porcelain girl is such a precious love
For centuries we have tried
Through the ages we have failed
The Midas touch is all I need
- The Curse Of Whitechapel
Through London's fog, I stalk her streets
Extermination's what I seek.
To cure this disease that plagues our land
I must make use of my skilled hand
They call me Jack, it's not my name.
A nom de plume for a journalists game
There's many pretenders to my throne
- The Exile
A descent into the abyss of an exiled prince who becomes one with the sea, and his harnessing of her power against those who betrayed him. Based on Jules Verne's legendary antihero in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo.
I'm the rage of the ocean, the judgment of man
My justice is swift, and time is my friend
No flag
No creed
- The Last Express
When you fall asleep,
and wake up in the ground.
The skies fall apart,
and the heavens rain down.
You enter your dreams, in hopes of fantasy.
But all you wake up to, is a dark reality.
- Unhallowed Metropolis
t's a new dark age and the end has come
There's blood in the streets and there's nowhere to run
Through darkest night they rise once again
Spreading the plague and terrorizing man
We're not alone (we're not alone)
We'll make our stand, we're not alone
In this unhallowed land, we're not alone (we're not alone)
- Vagues De Vapeur
Stained glass memories of a broken dream
A time of progress, a time of steam
Chimneys billowing across the sky
A time of conquest, a time to die
Riding, riding, riding on the waves
A time that never was, welcome the old ways
Riding, riding, riding on the waves of steam
