Lyrics
The 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 thousand years of manipulation
This is your sacrifice
Before you fall back into temptation
You better think t through twice
It's the sound if the mass production
It's a game you just can't win
Keeping you in complete subjection
Starting over and over again
It's delusions and dreams
As you become the machine
Tryin' to hold back the stranger within
Can not escape the machine
Thin is the line between law and desire
Can not escape the machine
This is the final retribution
Staring you back in your eyes
A never-ending repetition
You can not identify
Syncopated-automated
Movin' down the assembly line
Same mistakes replicated
You trade away your simple life
