Lyrics for Future Breed Machine

An even strobe A pulse of flashing hate Lights of synthetic souls massproduced Hammered to shape a sign of times dreams Turn into systems a new way a new breed Implanted in our minds Here I am in the hand of a sterile hate The new control I can not wake I'm not a sleep New intelligence arise in emptied bodies Turgid flesh tested through eternal spastic Fits through not known codes mother Machine in genocide now scorn a dying race Evolution in reverse now it's time for me Changing what am I to be contorted An eternity defeated Programmed to appease you We're symbols of perfection Humanoids ruined by your laws: Destroy, erase, improve, lesson first: Submission, we're docile servant dogs Our leashes are your limbs Computed deep within Remoted minds controlled our thoughts No more doubts The new way is here disgorged Another thousands fakes that obey to a circuit skein To vacuum mechanical thoughts I now conceive, no longer me Always to see inanity Millions to be units like me Eternally human patterns Copied, dissected, distorted Completed to fit the machine The nerve fibres give in to cords to the unknown See me, be me, same contents, same machine The currency of ours No more flesh and bone We are too unaware of what we have been before Evolution in reverse Now it's time for me Changing what am I to be contorted An eternity defeated by the new machine
