Drifting, unthinking,
We drag ourselves through this world,
Heads full of wire,
When will we all see the signs?
Mechanical minds strain to function,
We've fallen from grace,
Cables and veins work as one; man and machine entwined,
Now leave behind a mind gone blind,
No more time behind these lines,
Inside ourselves we finally find,
We're so much more than crude design,
Delusion slips our eyes,
And cages fall from our minds,
Muscles flex, no pistons hiss,
And the mantle's lifted,
No more sparks and flames, nor the time for games of blame and fear,
[We're trapped], As every fist is rising,
And we scream; "Join us and rise,
This world we're building,
From dust up to the blood-stained sky,
So tell me why this isn't over,
It's been so long without sense and reason,
Get out,
The streets are all aflame,
We'll turn away from the years that cast us aside and forgot,
What rights did you have?
What rights did you know?
It starts tonight,
This is me."
