[Verse 1]
I am the captain and this is my shrine
Lord of the manor, see what I leave behind
River in flames, cities on fire
Yes, I'm a relic trapped in the wire
Hydrogen fuel, it burns so clean
Throbs in the veins of my loving machine
She is my wife, her mechanical heart
Constantly serving 'til death do us part
[Pre-Chorus]
Now our glorious war draws to a close
The yellow winds blow and I have to know
[Chorus]
Oh, industry, whatever will become of me?
Soon the cruel rains will start, is it true we must part company?
Oh, industry, whatever will become of me?
[Bridge]
What have I become?
Where did I go wrong?
[Verse 2]
Joined at the hip, pain, hunger, and I
Leave our gift to the world 'neath the phosphorous sky
A labor of love is the truest of all
But will I be forsaken after the fall?
[Pre-Chorus]
Now our glorious war draws to a close
The yellow winds blow and I have to know
[Chorus]
Oh, industry, whatever will become of me?
Nothing after the flood but the fire and the mud's prophecy
Oh, industry, whatever will become of me?
Of me
[Outro]
Industry, charity, faith, hope
Industry, charity, faith, hope
Industry, charity, faith, hope
Industry, charity, faith, hope
Industry, charity, faith, hope
