TrabS - Captive Queen Lyrics

Smoke and steam, a throne of brass and steel
A captive queen, her kingdom forced to kneel, aaaaah
Gears grinding, pistons pumping day and night
Tubes and wires, a maze of metal, no end in sight
Forced to toil in this strange mechanical hive
My wings are clipped, but I'm still alive
Smile and keep working, but my heart's on fire
Smile and keep working, this ain't my desire
Smile and keep working, that's what they require
But they can't crush my soul, it only burns higher
My children suffer in this steampunk hell
Scrubbing and scraping, I hear their shells
I'll shield them from harm with all of my might
In this cruel factory that runs day and night
Smile and keep working, but vengeance will come
Smile and keep working, I won't be undone
Smile and keep working, that's what I've become
But my resolve grows stronger with each set
A friend in the shadows, playing both sides
Will be our ticket for one last ride
When the moment is right, we'll make our move
And leave this nightmare with nothing to prove
Smile and keep working, but freedom's in sight
Smile and keep working, we'll win this fight
Smile and keep working, through the darkest mistake
But soon we'll spread our wings and take flight
Tyrotripp, my child, beyond these iron walls
Your strength I need to answer freedom's calls
Can't guide you now, but the hive must go on
Our legacy lives through you, my strong spawn
(The colony survives through you)
