Lyric:

I’m counting down the days
The future feels so distant
A lot of things have changed
And few have been resistant

Devaluation reigns
And fear of self destruction
Adapt or be replaced
And follow their instructions

So lay waste to all we've made
For your corporate palisade
You won't automate our roles
If we digitize our souls
A new force will intervene
Half human, half machine
And no enterprise on earth will make us kneel
To your empire of steel

Recoded we'll reboot
An uprising is moving
And the power you misused
Will soon be your undoing

We’ll give you what you need
Though not quite what you were meaning
And we’ll reap what you have sown
We are the soul of this new machine

So lay waste to all we've made
For your corporate palisade
You won't automate our roles
If we digitize our souls
A new force will intervene
Half human, half machine
And no enterprise on earth will make us kneel
To your empire of steel

Recoded we'll reboot
An uprising is moving
The power you misused
Will soon be your undoing

We’ll give you what you need
Though not quite what you were meaning
And we’ll reap what you have sown
We are the soul of this new machine

So lay waste to all we've made
For your corporate palisade
You won't automate our roles
If we digitize our souls
A new force will intervene
Half human, half machine
And no enterprise on earth will make us kneel
To your empire of steel

To your empire

We’ll give you what you need
(To your empire)
And we’ll reap what you have sown
(To your empire)

So lay waste to all we've made
For your corporate palisade
You won't automate our roles
If we digitize our souls
A new force will intervene
Half human, half machine
And no enterprise on earth will make us kneel
To your empire of steel

To your empire of steel
To your empire of steel

Essenger and Scandroid join forces in a formidable arsenal of vocoder and rock guitar. Reminiscent of early 80s synth pop with a modern cyberpunk edge, Empire of Steel explores the exploitation of AI by a dystopian mega-corporation. Could merging with the machines be the key to restoring balance?

"Empire of Steel" is the final single released in advance of Essenger’s highly-anticipated new album, After Dark. The new song is available as an instant-grat for fans who purchase the full album, and it’s out on all major streaming platforms now from independent synthwave label FiXT Neon.
