Lyrics
Sub -Basement Chapter
Iron Caduceus on the leather back
6am in the hospital parking deck
Tattoos crawling all the way up my neck
Keep the kickstand down on my rigid frame
We don't play no bureaucratic game
Ranging off the multimeter on the hill
Black leather cup with a skull on the grill
Upstairs the surgeons think they run the town
Until they find all the machines
Start breaking all down
They hear our heavy boots
They go down the hall
The meanest brotherhood Answering the call
Step aside,
suits Like the greased market
straw
Iron conduces,
leather and lead The bottomed out laws rolling ahead
Chrome on the ratchet,
grease in the veins
Keeping life support, breaking the chains
Dry the wide open, ride through the dust
In the tools of the brotherhood we put our trust
Hear the choppers roar,
hear the engines scream
Guardians of the house, bit old dream
The arm locked in the trauma bay three
Stripped off the casing, got the hydraulics free
Tore down the bolts like a custom transmission
Ain't nothin'
stoppin' this brotherhood mission
Surgeon backed up, didn't say a damn word
Loudest trick of a socket he ever has heard
Flips down the switch, green indicator glowed
Ready for the asphalt, ready for the road
Iron, caduceus, leather and lead
The biomed outlaws,
rolling ahead
Chrome on the ratchet,
greasing the veins Keepin' life support,
breakin' the chains Tired of wide open, ride through the dust
In the tombs of the fatherhood, we put our trust
Hear the choppers roar,
hear the engines scream
Guardians of the hospital
dream
Can't quit
Can't start the engine
All out, brothers.
