Future Breed Machine lyrics

Song information

Artist: Meshuggah
Album: Destroy Erase Improve

Lyrics

An even strobe
A pulse of flashing hatelights
Of synthetic souls
Massproduced - hammered to shape
A sign of times
Dreams turn into systems
A new way; a new breed
Implanted in our minds

(Here I am) in the hand of
(A sterile hate) the new control
(I can not wake) I'm not a sleep

New intelligence arise
In emptied bodies
Turgid flesh tested through
Eternal spastic fits
Through not known codes
Mother machine in genocide
Now scorn a dying race

Evolution (in reverse)
Now it's time for me (changing)
What am I to be (contorted)
An eternity (defeated)

Programmed to appease you
We're symbols of perfection
Humanoids runned by your laws:
Destroy, erase, improve
Lesson first: submission
We're docile servant dogs
Our leashes are your limbs
Computed deep within

Remoted minds
Controlled our thoughts
No more doubts
The new way is here
Disgorged
Another thousands fakes
That obey to a circuit skein
To vacuum

Mechanical thoughts I now concieve
No longer me, always to see inanity
Millions to be units like me eternally
Human patterns copied dissected distorted
Completed to fit the machine
The nerve fibres give in to cords
To the unknown..

See me
Be me
Same contents
Same machine

(The currency) of ours no more
(Flesh and bone) we are to be
(Unaware) of what we have been before

Evolution (in reverse)
Now it's time for me (changing)
What am I to be (contorted)
An eternity (defeated)
By the new machine..
