Dead Man’s Switch Lyrics by Project 86

Sheep Among Wolves

2017

[Verse 1]
Shovel the coals and begin
Feed the iron horses with mortal remains
And we stay on this bearing
Destined for your
De-rail-ment
Feed on the steam and the speed
With momentum daring to break

[Pre-Chorus]
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein

[Chorus]
One with the speed, all that you need
Fire to breathe kerosene
Burnt off the rails, destined to fail
This unrelenting hell on wheels

[Verse 2]
March with the beat of the rails
No man can take the helm of
This chaos parade, this havoc train
To board this evil engine with no
Dead man's switch!
Ear to the ground, feel the shake
The iron horse is coming your way

[Pre-Chorus]
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein
Feed the engine vein

[Chorus]
One with the speed, all that you need
Fire to breathe kerosene
Burnt off the rails, destined to fail
This unrelenting hell on wheels

[Chorus]
One with the speed, all that you need
Fire to breathe kerosene
Burnt off the rails, destined to fail
This unrelenting hell on wheels

[Bridge]
This apparatus is built for one sound
Birthed to live fast and die loud
Crush

[Pre-Chorus]
Feed the engine vein (Crush)
Feed the engine vein (Crush)
Feed the engine vein (Crush)
Feed the engine vein (Crush)
Feed the engine vein (Crush)
Feed the engine vein (Crush)
Feed the engine vein (Crush)

[Chorus]
One with the speed, all that you need
Fire to breathe kerosene
Burnt off the rails, destined to fail
This unrelenting hell on wheels

[Chorus]
One with the speed, all that you need
Fire to breathe kerosene
Burnt off the rails, destined to fail
This unrelenting hell on wheels
