lyrics

Listen to the songs they said
lest the world should end
Just bow your head
and let the world run its course my friend
What we built is what we have

From a distance you could see your planet fall
From the clock tower everything you touch is gold

But on the factory floor it’s all the same
The apathetic mass with no name

There is no masterplan and no choice
when the cracks appear on the screen
When the cogs and hands become toys
a threat to your machine

Wherever you will go
the sounds will find you
and follow you back home
Forget the Gods above
Human shapes form against the sky
Life on Earth
what is it worth?

No
Can’t you hear
Songs of the Machine
A godlike melody
Eating your dreams
Leaving you down and drained
Feed the machine
and be the enslaved

Stand in line and
watch them build their lie
You would sacrifice and close your eyes
on all the pieces that die
to live mechanic lives

Watch it turn from side to side
It only wavers for a while
Watch it break from time to time
We are not forever

In circles we will turn
so we don’t move at all
To circles we return
and never move at all
We never move at all
