Children of the Machine

I'll show you the truth I'll show you your purpose Just a pencil and a dream Created for entertainment He lives on through us Born from darkness, born from lust 'Cause when we reach the end We do it all over again Follow me We are children of the machine Barely human in a city Built on broken dreams Follow me We are children of the machine Barely human in a city Built on broken dreams It's a joyless job When your heart's running empty at the seams But after eons filling up the bottle Singing on a desperate pencil and a dream Well, the void was filled when you lived To the empty ink, then we would sink To the beat of a cog wheel turning Love was the fuel that kept me from burning To create this finest design We need a magic darker than mine And a kiss from the angels Casting demons down the bottom line! So wonderful how deep the love can flow 'Cause when you came into my life I couldn't bear to let go But the curtain came to close! He lives on through us We're born from darkness, born from lust 'Cause when we reach the end We do it all over again! Follow me We are children of the machine (We build this machine!) Barely human in a city Built on broken dreams Follow me We are children of the machine (You came to life!) Barely human in a city Built on broken dreams In the dark nightmare See the spotlight glare And accept your fate in time In the dark nightmare See the spotlight glare And accept your fate in time! Follow me We are children of the machine Barely human in a city Built on broken dreams
