Roll Out
Miracle of Sound Lyrics

On the metal world of Cybertron
The story takes place on the mechanical planet of Cybertron.

There is a rockin' robot race
The inhabitants of Cybertron are robotic creatures.

Two warring tribes are laying waste
There are two factions on Cybertron at war with one another.

To a once great shining place
Cybertron was once a prosperous and splendid planet.

Molten metal fires
There are blazing flames of melted metal on the surface of Cybertron.

Dot the alloy and the chrome
The fires are scattered throughout the metallic planet.

Sparks and twisted wires
There are electrical sparks and mangled wires amidst the chaos.

Paint the surface of our home
The destruction has left its mark on the planet's metallic surfaces.

The Autobots are hunted

The slaughter is directed

Only has one equal foe
