lyrics

Beneath the waves
Beneath the waves I flee
Beneath the waves
Beneath the waves I flee

Machine devoid of anger that never turns to rust
Late human data erased
A synthetic lifeblood to keep me alive
Trapped in this motionless space

Life in the clockwork the hours passing by
Programmed to follow the code
A maze of connections the circuits are down
Derelict they corrode

No human unit survives on its own
Burnt on the pyre of the free
The walls of the motherlode falling apart
Jackhammer of liberty

Wheels of an order that never seem to stop
Churning any protest
No new world Leviathan ocean machine
Deep in the blue I will rest

Welcome to my fears
Hear the ratchet, hear the gears
A world inside a machine, static reality
Half-life with no will, the core is pushing nil
Within my

Mind Mechanical
I've lost control
To see, to feel, to understand
The world we know
The undertow
Still keeps me underwater

Harbinger of madness, the messenger of doom
Adrift on the endless sea
All life aborted, the shutdown of the core
The juggernaut is finally free

Conduits are failing, the system's breaking down
No signs of life anymore
No one remembers the human machine
Lifeless wreck on the shore

Welcome to my fears
Hear the ratchet, hear the gears
A world inside a machine, static reality
Half-life with no will, the core is pushing nil
Within my

Mind Mechanical
I've lost control
To see, to feel, to understand
The world we know
The undertow
Still keeps me underwater

Welcome to my fears
Hear the ratchet, hear the gears
A world inside a machine, static reality
Half-life with no will, the core is pushing nil
Within my

Mind Mechanical
I've lost control
To see, to feel, to understand
The world we know
The undertow
Still keeps me underwater

I lived in digital
I died in digital
