Twilight of the Machines Lyrics


We will waste away

Clouded by darkness

If we fail to bring about

– and by all means –

The twilight of the machines

The collapse of time

To an extension in space

Calibrated by machines

Has bowdlerized our human rhythms

We are bound to live a lie

This empty shell of an existence we call our life

Exiled from presence

We are slaves nailed to the wheel

And even now we hardly see the Earth

We lapse into coma with averted eyes

The crisis deepens

Burnt out are all sparks of resistance

And with every wasted hour we choose to kneel

Forever we will kneel!

We scarcely feel our hearts beat

Before they break in protest

We will waste away

Clouded by darkness

If we fail to bring about

– and by all means –

The twilight of the machines
