MACHINERY LYRICS

1. Cold

Another sleepless night
Shadows form and haunt my mind
I gasp for breath
I feel so cold, leave me alone

My inferior life is torn
Torn into pieces
The path that I've chosen
The man that I swore not to be
Is what I see in my own reflection
The trail that I follow diluted by pain once again

Cold

A frantic state of mind
Numbs my guilt and feeds my anger
It fills the void and emptiness

Cold

2. Reason Is The Rush

Disturbed - in pursuit for the ultimate high
Need to breathe, need to sleep, need to clear my mind

Restless - my body aches for more
Too many times I've changed my mind
Too many times I act without pride

Restless, disturbed
In pursuit for the ultimate high
Need to breathe, need to sleep, need to clear my mind

Reason, rush, reason is rush
Reason, rush, reason is the rush

Insane - the blood boils in me
A bottomless urge to feed
Denial - only one more time
Don't tell me no, don't ask me why

Restless, disturbed
In pursuit for the ultimate high
Need to breathe, need to sleep, need to clear my mind

They think they know it all
Soon they'll realise they're wrong
Yet they don't know that I'm god
Soon I'll have it all

Reason is the rush

3. I Divine

Set me free as I plead for more from the poor
In the mane of Christianity
I am he the senseless man who sells his souls
So cry divine
Down the curb lies a man with aching pain
Gone insane for the love of Christ that binds our souls
He tells his tale with bitter taste with an ancient tongue
That twists his mind

Breathless
Why does he keep on fighting
Why does he believe in god
I can't believe his crying
Crying for the love of god
God almighty screams
God almighty bleeds
God almighty leaves us breathless...

I divine

They that hate shall be clothed
Clothed with shame as the shadow of death will soon rise again
O' hear when I call o' god o' righteous one
There's a sign on the wall
Giving birth to a thought of a vision that clouds our minds
Ancient curse quenches thirst for the taste of blood and wine

4. Dead Man

Nothing's different since yesterday
Still not a man but property
The liberated call me devil's creation
A disgrace in the eye of god

They make me plead for mercy then whip me again
They lure me with false pretensions 'til I'm driven mad
Just when it feels right they tighten the noose
And pull me back in

[Chorus:]
I'm slave to another man
Slave in the promised land
Out of reach for a helping hand
Chained to the ground

I can't shake it off it's now a part of me
It's in my system and runs through my veins
I take a step forward and fall two steps back
I've lost my identity

Unaccepted I walk through this land
Degraded until I'm too afraid
In the end hanging in a rope
Condemned by faithful hand

[Chorus]

Slave to another man
Slave in the promised land
Out of reach for a helping hand
Chained for a greater cause

Once a man now utterly destroyed
Dragged down the road and now accepts his fate
Out of reach for a helping hand
Chained for a greater cause
Though he knows there will be another time
A time to repay for man what he has done

5. Delirium In Vengeance

Attached to negation
Subdued retribution
Fed with alienation
Derived aggravation
Demanding exaltation
Resentful vexation
Repellent oppression
Martyr deception

Delirium in vengeance designed
Bittersweet taste defined

Ravenous exploitation
Frantic determination
Immortal indignation
Psychotic repulsion
Spastic convulsion
Inhuman violation
Superior infliction
Incarcerated

Delirium in vengeance designed
Bittersweet taste defined

6. Bloodline

A streaming sense forms a downward spiral
Receding flood gives birth to another tide
A new ambition to mend our guilt and shame
While we step forward and sleepwalk back again

Reformed, defined, confided, aligned

A truth deceiving
The conflict within
Reveals the meaning
When finding closure

Fulfilment by need defines our own bloodline
Repetition be the nature of man
Raised to follow our fathers trail
And wind up on the very same road

7. Decide My Pain

It's in her eyes again
Frail but yet relentless
Convinced once more to fall on my knees
And I yearn for more
As I allow myself to be a part of the game
Restrained, relieved, and self-deceived

It's in her eyes again
Frail but yet relentless to the core
Convinced once more to fall on my knees
And I yearn for more
As I allow myself to be a part of the game
Restrained, relieved, and self-deceived

And the play goes on and on and on

Decide my pain, make me obey your every word
Decide my pain and let me stay
Make me whole again

Can't find a way out
And stop defrauding myself once more
Convinced to stay again
Restrained, abused, constrained, subdued

Decide my pain, make me obey your every word
Decide my pain and let me stay
Make me whole again

8. The Passing

It's a part of me
It's a part of you
A collective need
To restore our dreams

And I watch you all
When you lose control
Sensing light beyond
Revelations gone

Come, come grovel, crawl in front of me
Come my children, your souls belong to me

With a sigh I pass
To the other side
Forever sleep
In the withering void

And we take the fall
Neglect our call
Our purpose told
To friend and foe
Our fate unfolds
What our dreams uphold
We create a god
For the sake of all

Slave

9. Waiting For The Wave

I'm bleeding
All of me bleeding
Let me run, let me fade away

Can't hide behind the curtain
Don't fit in within the frame
And I plunge deeper and deeper
From solid ground the tide sweeps me away

I've tried so hard to make it all better
To please and make everything seem right

I keep telling myself to breathe again
To go on and live through another day
But it takes me down, I gasp for air
It chokes inside me, wants me dead
The pounding aches harder and harder
Deeper and deeper I fall

Another ray reaches to an end
Battered, beaten, deluded, degraded
I've tried to scrub it off, I've tried to wash it off
But it stays
Remains inside of me

I keep telling myself to breathe again
To go on and live through another day
But it takes me down, I gasp for air
It chokes inside me, wants me dead
The pounding aches harder and harder
Deeper and deeper I fall

I've tried to scrub it off, I've tried to wash it off
But it stays
Remains inside of me
