Lyrics for Sea Of Machines

The 'Frame is running all our systems, no way to shut it down Outcries of panic in the distance, fear all around No satellites, no radio, no TV– I can't even use my phone We need to wake up from this bad dream! We're not alone! I've seen the future in a dream I've seen a sea of machines I've seen a realm beneath the waves Another time, another space The 'Frame is closing all the channels, isolated from the world But there's still time to heal the damage and lift this curse I've seen the future in a dream I've seen a sea of machines I've seen a realm beneath the waves Another time, another space You need to reach beyond your fear You need to stand your ground and fight If we're to make it out of here If we're to leave Alpha alive I can sail us to the skies I can fly us to the stars I won't allow our race to die! I'll never leave you in the dark! I'll find a way to save our kind After all I am to blame Just follow me, and I will guide And I'll release us from the 'Frame The 'Frame is cutting off the power, we're stranded in the dark It won't help to hide away like cowards, make a brand new start! I've seen the future in a dream I've seen a sea of machines I've seen a realm beneath the waves Another time, another space I see a comet cleave the sky In a time beyond time! I see a realm beneath the waves I see a castle, a castle deep in space On the edge of time!
