Track 6: The Catechism of Rust

Track 6: The Catechism of Rust ​[Style: Industrial Metal, Marching Rhythm, Nu Metal, Choral Backing, Male Vocals, Baritone, Aggressive, Anthemic] [Tempo: 90 BPM - Heavy, stomping military march] ​[Intro] [Sound of hundreds of boots stomping in rhythm: THUD. THUD. THUD. THUD.] [A distorted whistle blows] [Spoken through a megaphone, distant and grainy] (Line up!) (Eyes front!) (Repeat after me!) ​[Verse 1] [Bass matches the stomp. Vocals are rhythmic and shouting] They told you that Pride was a stumble and a fall. I tell you it’s the hammer that breaks down the wall! They told you that Wrath was a fire to quell. I tell you it’s the engine that powers the shell! Sit in the pew and apologize for breath. Worshiping a skinny man starved to death. I’m burning the book and I’m breaking the stool. I’m teaching the class and I’m changing the rule! ​[Pre-Chorus] [Music swells with a dark, low-pitched choir] [Vocals become a growling chant] Humility is poison. Silence is a lie. I’m teaching you the proper way... To never ever die. ​[Chorus] [Maximum Volume - Anthemic Stomp] SIN is the fuel! VICE is the vein! I’m washing the "holy" right out of the brain! GREED is the growth! LUST is the life! Take the apple and use the knife! (Cut it open!) (Eat it all!) The only way up is to embrace the fall! ​[Verse 2] [Marching beat continues. Vocals are sneering and precise] They told you Gluttony makes you sick and slow. I say consume every single thing you know! Eat the world and drink the sea. Fill up the hollow where the "soul" used to be. Envy isn't wrong, it’s a map to the prize. I want to see the hunger in your jealous eyes. Stop looking down at the dirt on your feet. Start looking up at the ones you defeat. ​[Bridge] [Music stops except for a snare drum roll] [Spoken cleanly, very close to the mic] Lesson one: Take it. Lesson two: Keep it. Lesson three... [Music explodes back in] BREAK IT! ​[Guitar Solo] [A rhythmic, chugging solo that sounds like a machine gun firing] ​[Chorus] [Maximum Volume - Wall of Sound] SIN is the fuel! VICE is the vein! I’m washing the "holy" right out of the brain! GREED is the growth! LUST is the life! Take the apple and use the knife! (Cut it open!) (Eat it all!) The only way up is to embrace the fall! ​[Outro] [Boots stomping fades out] [Spoken with a sneer] Class dismissed. [Sound of a school bell ringing, but it distorts into a scream]
