Lyrics
This Machine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A shadow of myself, just who am I?
Scan horizons
A tragic mystery
You could have left me here, sealed inside the pod
No one would ever know - The chaos control
My true identity
The power that is me
We all danced in fire
Trapped in this machine
Don't know how long we've waited
As the Eggman's watching
We all danced in fire
Looking through the screen
Don't know how long we've waited
As the Eggman watches
With Rouge in the fight - electric lives
Change surroundings
A jewel in history
A treasure disappears - as she goes
Miss her as you look away - and no one knows
This power is a key
This power changes me
We all danced in fire
Trapped in this machine
Don't know how long we've waited
As the Eggman's watching
We all danced in fire
Looking through the screen
Don't know how long we've waited
As the Eggman watches
E-123
You didn't know - now I'm gonna show you
The power that is me
You try to take me down-stop the show
Seems you've never tasted fear- or loss of control
The power lives in me
The power that is me
We all danced in fire
Trapped in this machine
Don't know how long we've waited
As the Eggman's watching
We all danced in fire
Looking through the screen
Don't know how long we've waited
As the Eggman watches
