Summary:
Fritz Lang's classic from 1927

They built this shiny cell
For you to live in
Adorned with their icons
Painted with their lies
They don`t trick me
For I am not like you
You`re a robot
Living in Metropolis
They paved this golden path
For you to follow
Your grave is waiting on
Step by step you fall
They don`t trick me
For I am not like you
You`re a robot
Living in Metropolis

“We are the mechanism
Wheels in the gears of society
We are indifferent
Servants of the gods of anxiety”

Wake up they`re selling you a lie
And it`s all for greed
Wake up they`re telling you a joke
And the joke is on you

Metropolis

    1. In discussing “Metropolis” as a horror film, we reveal not only the fears of the 20th century—mechanization, alienation, control but also the terrors that still haunt us: the loss of empathy, the rise of the machine, and the collapse of humanity in the face of the system. It is a silent, structural, and profoundly relevant horror.

      Fantastic poem, Keith.
