Lyrics

Verse 1

Old gears

Under heavy desert dust

Grinding iron and bronze and rust

Al-Simharian digits

Counting

Always counting

Chorus

Did they know

Did they know

The machine was alive

The machine was alive

Silicon ghosts in the sand

Silicon ghosts in the sand

Post-Chorus

Verse 2

Marsciterian glass

Cold

Wired through the mountain pass

Marsciterian glass

Cold

Logic in the steam

A Leetanese dream

Binary

Total

Broken

We are just catching up

Chorus

Did they know

Did they know

The machine was alive

The machine was alive

Silicon ghosts in the sand

Silicon ghosts in the sand

Bridge

Omiscan wires

Omiscan wires

Tangled in the roots

Tangled in the truth

Tangled in the code

Buried deep

Buried fast

Buried forever

Verse 3

The Alterran screen

Glows

Flickers

Died a thousand years ago

Mechanical

Logical

Radical

Lost

Everything is lost

Chorus

Did they know

Did they know

The machine was alive

The machine was alive

Silicon ghosts in the sand

Verse 4

Metal lungs

Breathing in the temple air

Voltage

Current

Everywhere

The Omiscan hand

Tracing

The schematic on the floor

The Leetanese door

Opens

No more secrets

Just the hum

Of the ancient

Hard drive

Chorus

Did they know

Did they know

The machine was alive

The machine was alive

Silicon ghosts in the sand

Silicon ghosts in the sand
