The Clockwork Ranger

[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]
