in Spring `02. I was helping one of my friend to get
his musical career back to its course and I offered him
a song I made to the Burning Point ( but I guess that
the other guys in BP didn`t share my enthusiasm towards
that song so it was kind of “left“ over...).
Back then I was in the middle of the Feeding the Flames
recording sessions so I kind of “forgot “ the whole thing
and the next time I saw my friend he told that they had
enough songs of their own already so...
the song was “left” over again...
that poor thing was Temples of Gold.
Then it hit me , there was not going to be the third time...
I contacted one my friend who was the guitar player in
one of my hometown bands and we started demoing couple of
my songs…But suddenly he had his handfull of other “projects”
so that one died right there...
Totally frustrated of that situation I finally called
Tapsa and Jussi in the end of the year `02.
After about 5 rehearsals we had something like
12 “new “ songs...
The word new is used very cautiously here because few of
these songs I`ve made years ago...
But I have “modernized” or “ up to date”
them a little bit so they sound very new,
even to me! Finally in Spring `03 we had our first
demo cd ready ( called , Ghosts in the Castle)
and I started sending it all over the world.
After a few negotiations of some of the record labels
we decided to make a record deal with Sound Riot Records,
I guess that mainly because they share the
same enthusiasm towards our music as we did...
So here we are!!!

Out For Blood
Ghost Machinery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you think that you're done?
Infected being the bringer of sorrow
Your life is under my gun
Lurking in corners hiding from light
Just beneath the surface of conscience
Lackeys of darkness bow to the beast
Out for Blood
It's said and done
I'm only in this for the kill
Out for Blood
All's said and done
Unleash the beast from within
Do you think escaping the trouble
Makes them disappear?
It will follow like a shadow
Like a dark child who fear
Lurking in corners hiding from light
Just beneath the surface of conscience
Lackeys of darkness bow to the beast
In the faith they are the justice
Out for Blood
It's said and done
I'm only in this for the kill
Out for Blood
All's said and done
Unleash the beast from within
Vengeance is my name and I just played the game
I played the leading role but I'm not going down alone
[Solo]
Out for Blood
It's said and done
I'm only in this for the kill
Out for Blood
All's said and done
Unleash the beast from within
Out for Blood
It's said and done
I'm only in this for the kill
Out for Blood
All's said and done
Unleash the beast from within
The lyrics of Ghost Machinery's song "Out for Blood" speaks about an individual who is seeking retribution for something that has been done to them. It seems that the individual feels that everything that has been said is in vain and that it comes across as insincere. They want to inflict pain on the one who has caused them harm, and they describe themselves as the bringer of sorrow. The chorus further exemplifies their intention, stating that they are "out for blood" and that they are only in it for the kill. The second verse demonstrates that this individual knows that they cannot simply escape the pain, and in doing so, they become trapped in the dark, where they can only function through the sensation of their own morality. This individual believes that their mission is an act of vengeance, which they will fulfill until the end.
