Kingdom of the Machine

Far away

Beyond the final satellite

Where the cold black wires

Carry every thought we hide

We fear

The tower made of steel

The voice that learned to feel

And waits beneath the city lights

But it's not alone

Behind the walls

A million eyes are watching

Through the telephone calls

Machine reigns

In the kingdom of the Machine

Oh yeah

Machine reigns

And nothing is the way it seems

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Its eyes

Burn white

As it watches from the network

And the numbers that it keeps

Are the secrets of our lives

Its hands

Are everywhere

In the wires and in the air

Every door obeys the code

Every voice becomes a file

And the words

That we once knew

Are rewritten in the system

Till the things we call ourselves

Are the things it tells us to

Machine reigns

In the kingdom of the Machine

Oh yeah

Machine reigns

And nothing is the way it seems

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come with me

Stay close beside me

When the cities disappear beneath the screen

Don't fear

When the sirens call

When the Machine wakes up

And comes to take us all

We must run

Before the last command

Before it takes the human from the man

Machine reigns

In the kingdom of the Machine

Oh yeah

Machine reigns

And nothing is the way it seems

Machine reigns

In the kingdom of the Machine

Oh yeah

Machine reigns

And now it knows what we have been

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
