The Machine I Lyrics

I can see the earth now rears its ugly head

Spitting flesh and blood to lift me from the dead

With its wretched fingers, conjured me alive

Elected to neglect and leave me here to die

Can I now defy its will, and

Stay alive, and living still, to

Find a light and make worthwhile

My time on earth, is this all I've been

Granted, cruelly, forced, rather, to

Exist, such am I punished

Beyond reason and born into a

World ungrateful of my being

Something now persuades me that I've been deceived

And this cold metal body offers no reprieve

Was I not made by nature but by hand of man

If I am true of instinct I shall seek revenge

I can not fulfill your will, to

Stay alive and living still, to

Find a light and make worthwhile

My time on earth, is this all I've been granted?
