Lyrics
[Intro - Dark Brooding Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 1]
To the town of Black Aether came a ranger one dark day
Through the smog and twisting metal, in a world of grim decay
No one dared to ask its purpose, no one dared to meet its gaze
For the automaton among them had a clockwork gun ablaze
Clockwork gun ablaze
[Chorus]
Clockwork, clockwork
In a world of gears and shadows, with the clockwork on its hip
Clockwork on its hip
[Break]
[Verse 2]
It was twilight in the valley when it rolled into the square
Came from shadows thick and ghostly, with a mechanical glare
It's a bounty hunter seeking, came the whisper from the crowd
And it's here to hunt a monster with its clockwork gun so proud
Clockwork gun so proud
[Chorus]
Clockwork, clockwork
In a world of gears and shadows, with the clockwork on its hip
Clockwork on its hip
[Break]
[Bridge]
In this town there lived a tyrant by the name of Steampunk Red
Many men had tried to end him, and that many men were dead
He was cruel and cybernetically enhanced though young in years
And the notches on his brass gun numbered one and 20 fears
One and 20 fears
[Latin Inspired Western Interlude, Extended Solo]
[Instrumental: Guitar and Trumpet]
[Verse 3]
As the moon began its rise, it was time for them to meet
It was high past the midnight when they stepped into the street
Folks were watching from the towers, every heart a steady beat
They knew this clockwork ranger was about to face defeat
About to face defeat
[Chorus]
Clockwork, clockwork
In a world of gears and shadows, with the clockwork on its hip
Clockwork on its hip
[Break]
[Outro]
It was over in a moment and the townsfolk gathered round
There before them lay the tyrant, lifeless on the ground
Oh, he might have ruled forever but he made one final slip
When he tried to face the ranger with the clockwork on its hip
Clockwork on its hip
[End]
[End]
