[Verse 1]
Bring the toys out for the boys
Let the children make their noise
See the monsters in their metal cages
Turn the lights down in your soul
Cut the power to your heart
See the carcass in its dying rages

[Chorus]
Machine men - cannibals of rust
Machine men - iron bites the dust
Machine men - build with feet of clay
I'm coming to sweep you all away

[Verse 2]
What bitter vampire made you this
Gave you life with its deathly kiss
Ground you limbs to bloody stew
Made a new machine of you

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn the nightmare into day
Suck your breath, take your life away
Beating harder through your veins
Someone else's cold remains
[Chorus]
Machine men - cannibals of rust
Machine men - iron bites the dust
Machine men - build with feet of clay
I'm coming to sweep you all away
They're coming to sweep you all away

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo - Adrian Smith]
[Guitar Solo - Roy Z]

[Chorus]
Machine men - cannibals of rust
Machine men - iron bites the dust
Machine men - build with feet of clay
I'm coming to take you all away

[Chorus]
Machine men - cannibals of rust
Machine men - iron bites the dust
Machine men - build with feet of clay
I'm coming to take you all away
They're coming to sweep you all away

[Post-Chorus]
Away
[Outro]
Iron in the soul
Iron in the soul
Iron in the soul
Iron in the soul
Iron in the soul
Iron in the soul
Iron in the soul
Iron in the soul...
