lyrics

Sand is blowing your path away
Deep in the sun, your mind has gone astray
Walk through the desert boy,
From horror into joy

We are machine

In your hand, a single pistol
On your back the spoils of war
From the ruins where you took it all
Baking in the dust, what do you stand for?

We are machine
We are machine

Today you walked a hundred miles across the sky
Today you watched a thousand men fight and die
Today you promised her you would not fail
Today your men upon steel spikes impaled

We will drive our machine through your veins
You think yourself a God, but you’re a fool
This is no beast of burden, no leather reigns
We are Machine, destined to rule you

We have begun
We have become
We are the Sun
We are the Holy Ones

In the baking heat of heavy noon
Your life evaporating you’ll be dead soon
Dark engineers will pick your bones
You will end as you began - quite alone

Soaring above the blight
Bathed in transcendental light
Divining blackened energy
Commanding fatal synergy

Here lies the future, everything is broken
People in the rubble, women, children choking
The ones you left behind, when you went to war
Stayed home bleeding, what was it really for?

The only ones who win, psychopaths and liars
The greedy and the venal, chaos their desire
It’s been that way forever, you thought you were good?
Abandoned your family, killed men for scraps of food

Hatred took your wisdom, propaganda ruled your brain
The contradictions have driven you insane
Don’t think about it, just kill or kill yourself
Machine will be your angel, bullets be your wealth

We are Machine

We are Machine

We are Machine
