Crimson Cadence from Automated Ballads by Marx My Words

Heartbeat echoes, a rhythm takes hold
Stories unfold, brave and bold
(Yeah)
Crimson cadence, the truth to be told

From factory floor to motherland's call
Shared chains we bore, standing up tall
Steel and soil, a common demand
Freedom's coil, across the land
(Across the land)
Same bitter taste, same fight to begin
No time to waste, let victory win

Crimson flows (it flows), in every vein (oh yeah)
Cadence knows (it knows), break every chain (unleash)
United as one (as one), our spirits ignite (so bright)
The battle's begun (begun), with all of our might (tonight)
(All of our might)

Machines may hum, a soulless decree
But human will come, for all to now see
From broken gears, a new rhythm starts
Washing away tears, mending broken hearts
(Mending hearts)
Ancestral pride, in every beat's drum
Nowhere to hide, the change has become

Crimson flows (it flows), in every vein (so strong)
Cadence knows (it knows), where we belong (marching on)
United as one (as one), our voices will soar (forever)
The battle's begun (begun), and we'll settle the score (together)
(Settle the score)

(Finally free)
No turning back wrath, forevermore

Crimson flows (it flows), in every vein (can you feel it)
Cadence knows (it knows), no more to restrain (break free)
United as one (as one), our power's revealed (unfold it)
The battle's begun (begun), on this factory field (behold it)
(Behold it)

Crimson cadence...
The rhythm endures...
