The Great 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.
Too many times, they have laid, waste to all but my ideals
I've lost count, of the tears, along the way
We've been down this road, still those numbers
Dictate our every move our every feeling, this inner wasteland
Death will be our sole salvation
Rise up against the great machine
Pump life into this lifeless thing
Rise up and end the reign
The reign of coal and steam
So will you here my voice, and will you burn their bills
Today we won't bow down
To their drills, let's overthrow this penis of unequality
We won't bow down, rise up, we won't bow down
So will you hear my voice, and will you burn their bills
Today we won't bow dow
To their drills, let's overthrow this world of tragedy
We will never be the one's forced to agree
We will never be the one's stuck in infamy
We will never be the one's pray supremacy
We will never be the one's led by your lies
Bruised and broken minds, yet reflections, of promised days
Them I recall, as I cling, cling on hope
Rise up against the great machine
Pump life into this lifeless thing
Rise up and end the reign
The reign of coal and steam
So will you here my voice, and will you burn their bills
Today we won't bow down
To their drills, let's overthrow this penis of unequality
We won't bow down, rise up, we won't bow down
So will you hear my voice, and will you burn their bills
Today we won't bow down
To their drills, let's overthrow this world of tragedy
