Gods & Machines

Suffering is who we are
Bred to pain and born from war
We worship gods and machines
No man to rule, land obscene
This is who we are
Born from pain and war
We see gods and machines
This is not what is seems
My child, you’re here to believe
When all you’ve learnt so far is how to fear
Holy is a construct you see
Made by the power to fool and deceive
Blaspheme and maim, I was an angel the same
Worth is determined by lives I have changed
How can I receive or redeem
When I’ve been chasing demons much bigger than me?
Now, your time has come, my friend
You will not depend, full of this regret
Now, they’re here for you again
This will be the end, we are lost to death
This is who we are
Born from pain and war
We see gods and machines
This is not what it seems
What if I told you there could be a way?
We could change this whole world in a day
Relinquish faith, return the machine
Free your mind again to dream
Attached to wires, we can’t see
Switch the power, rescue me
Given a chance is all we ask
Reset the future, destroy the past
Now, your time has come, my friend
You will not depend, full of this regret
Now, they’re here for you again
This will be the end, we are lost to death
Unholy, unloved
Raised in the world, baptised in blood
Unholy, unloved
Raised in the world, baptised in blood
Return to us, escape the flood
In a world baptised in blood
Return to us, escape the flood
Destroy machines, fear no God
Now, your time has come, my friend
You will not depend, full of this regret
Now, they’re here for you again
This will be the end, we are lost to death
(We are lost to death)
(We are lost to death)
(We are lost to death)
