Inside of the Machine I Lyrics

Chapter one: The Intrusion

Nick to all of us:
What is inside of this mad, of this mad machine?
No emotion apart from greed but still we are not to blame -
Nick to the machine: Once you'll ask for forgiveness,
But the answer will bring you pain,
You are hiding the intrusion, by selling us illusions

Nick to all of us:
I can't save you, I'm just begging you -
Please wake up from this dream
'cause we are inside of the machine (2x)

Nick to the machine:
By looking away no war has been won yet
Taking us piece by piece and still we are so afraid
Not the chances we take it's the chances we make
which determinate our destiny once for all...

Nick to all of us:
I can't save you, I'm just begging you,
please wake up from this dream
'cause we are inside of the machine -
I can't dream anymore, I cannot feel any love,
I'm not allowed to speak, I'm dying inside of the machine

Chapter two: resistence

Nick to God:
Once we had hope and once we had dreams
Truthfull we were but it ain't how it seems
Deep inside of us a light still exists
Resistence is formed, the calm before the storm

God to Nick:
I feel those lights like hundrets of souls that cover the night,
a mistress in white turning blood into wine a pretender of light
Mistress to God: My lord can you hear me ? -
Release me from pain, if he is the sign I should follow him blind

God to Nick & the Mistress:
But the merciless machine can't be erased just by dreams
Deny all control, the poor can be strong

Nick to the Mistress:
By looking through you I feel disgrace and all of my guilt
Now our time has come our dreams to fulfill be entitled to speak
But still... we are inside of the machine

Chapter three: betrayal

God to Nick:
Once I was you and once you were me,
Beware of some hearts 'cause they aren't what you believe -
Possessed by the machine, their hearts are so week,
Betrayal is born the evil takes new form

Nick to all of us:
Again, fate will bring those together who feel the call of freedom,
Blessed are those who see the seeds of evil
Those who recognize what we've become...
Revolution is calling you - for some of us it is too late but that is another story

To be continued...
