Steel-torn flesh

Glass-crushed skull

Flat-line brain wave

Respirated breathing

Comatose and abandoned

Reduced to patient X

No hope for life

No way to die

Modern medical miracles

Condemned to living death

Necrophilic experiment

Pitied and repulsive

Intravenous lifelines

Devoid of human touch

Flesh cannot atrophy

Rigor mortis forestalled

No sight No sound

No feeling

Confined to this hell

Artificial light my beacon

Engulfed in eternal night

Electoronic pulse rate

Force fed through a tube

Life replaced by circuitry

No need to think or breathe

Numeric status readouts

Monitoring vital signs

(solo: Oster)

Cybergod in command

In control of my fate

Not a shred of dignity

Always probed and measured

Wrapped in gauze and latex

Fluids flowing in and out

I must scream out loud

But I have no mouth
