Song Lyrics

Twist away the gates of steel
Unlock the secret voice
Give in to ancient noise
Take a chance a brand new dance
Twist away the gates of steel
Twist away now twist and shout
The earth it moves too slow
But the earth is all we know
We pay to play the human way
Twist away the gates of steel
A man is real not made of steel
The beginning was the end (of everything now)
The ape regards his tail (he's stuck on it)
Repeats until he fails
Half a goon and half a god
A man's not made of steel
A man is real that's how he feels
