Power of the Machine Lyrics


Part I

Hero of Alexandria

Open the gate Mechanica

Water and air Pneumatica

Welcome to the Theater

Curiosity the deadline is nigh

Necessity the mother of invention

A matter of imagination

New tools make you obsolete

By the power of the machine

Master of mechanics

iɔniv ɒb obɿɒnoǝl

Secretive notes Codex Atlanticus

An Incredible mind vastly before its time

Curiosity the deadline is nigh

Necessity the mother of invention

A matter of imagination

New tools make you obsolete

By the power of the machine

Part II

The engine has started the revolution

Igniting abandoned and ancient Inventions

On wheels, tracks or treads and now pushed by the steam

As pistons start pounding inside this machine

Intake

Compress

Combust

Exhaustion

From Metal and Fire

A burning desire

Four strokes that it takes

The faster it gets

Crusher - Obliterates your dreams

Shaper - planning the evil deeds

Grinder - Honed by corruption

Punch press - Straight to the core

Turning - Facing the mankind

Drilling - Opening your narrowed mind

Milling - Gradually you’re finished off

Chop Saw - Civilizations rise and fall

In air, land and water a new transportation

Escalating the transformation

It all plays a part in this endless production

Closer and closer to Utopian perfection

Efficient

Consistant Precision

Execution

Industrialization augments automation

Our knowledge and skill are accelerating

Crusher - Obliterate your dreams

Shaper - planning the evil deeds

Grinder - Honed by corruption

Punch press - Straight to the core

Turning - Facing the mankind

Drilling - Opening your narrowed mind

Milling - Gradually you’re finished off

Chop Saw - Civilizations rise and Fall

Part III

Keep on searching and keep on learning

Far beyond your potential

Embrace the change ahead

For the rewarding sense of progress

It’s no longer a complex question

What we now can accomplish

But whether we have got the wisdom

To control its ruthless power

What if the system succeeds?

What about accountability?

What about the sense of being unique?

What if it becomes the end of humanity?

Is Judgment Day inescapable

And the beginning of the end?

As the system is integrated

Will we ever know when to disrupt it?

Before the civilization collapse
