Lyrics
Bastards Of 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.
You can be all you desire
An honest man - a vicious liar
Seek out the Light or seek the Dark
You can honor or desecrate
Sympathize or manipulate
Carved in your flesh - embrace the Mark
Enslaved and hypnotized -
Chained to artificial lives
You are the Bastards of the Machine
The Bastards of the Machine
Be a saint for those in need
Or spin them webs of lust and greed,
Yeah, you've restored my dying faith
With a kiss of death - a last farewell
Hand in hand, through the Gates of Hell
You'll pay the price for the choice you make
I see your demons rise -
Deep within your burning eyes
You are the Bastards of the Machine
The Bastards of the Machine
The Bastards of the Machine
The Bastards of the Machine
