Notes
- The band considers the "Instruments of Destruction" era to be one of their most fulfilling, and are very proud to have it featured in Transformers. [1]
- There exist two versions of this song, the "unreleased unedited" one mentioned above (which was also used in live performances) and the "censored" version used in the movie. Differences in the lyrics are as follows:
- The original version of the very first line is "Iron birds of foreplay". In the censored version, that is toned down to "Iron birds of fortune".
- "Flying tools of torture" becomes "Flying tools of torment".
- A repeated change occurs in the chorus, where "It's a violent seduction" is replaced by "It's a violent eruption".
