A false deception no one Could turn away while watching Machines control our vision Like eyes of bloodshot children We've seen this all before now As flames consume destroying The dreams of our tomorrow All swept away forgotten Mechanical love It's never enough Mechanical love Indifferent to your touch The camera sees completely A blinding light before me A rage ascending quickly Alife that fades before me The camera sees completely A blinding light before me A rage ascending quickly A life that fades before me A crass ans pompous ego Feeds the mouth that's gaping A fetish unforsaken Colder unforgiven Annihilate the mother Who tears the flesh within her We take it all for nothing A barren useless wasteland Mechanical love It's never enough Mechanical love Indifferent to your touch The camera sees completely A blinding light before me A rage ascending quickly The life that fades before me The camera sees completely A blinding light before me A rage ascending quickly A life that fades before me

Falling into the sensation like a lifeless drone I lead past the bridge towards the station my umbrella always Always counts the Always Always counts the beat Click one, two, three. Faceless drones we are competing Lifeless minds we never breathe Daily we look for libations to ease the pain Always Always take the Always Always take the fee I said always Always take the Take the life from me People are drones You never know what they're feeling It could be lies Their thin disguise won't believe me For they are drones Forever told what to see They are drones to me Don't you think I Know ways You won't debate Your ways It's just too late for me

Come as you are I've got nothing left to give Gone away long ago Like so many other things I thank you for the way That you make me feel inside When you tear me apart Finding comfort in denial So look into my eyes See the darkness thats inside Looking back no regrets Nothing coming to my mind Remind me of the way That we had it once before As I get down on my knees I get down on my knees A cold wind blows As we find refuge In the underground A cure for all the pain we feel So desperate and unfound A call for all the lost forgotten Friends we've left behind I listen as they tell me that they'll never let me down again Now is the time we act Now is the the we move Now is the time for fact Now is the time we groove Now is the time we speak Now is the time to turn Now is not the time for meek Now is the time to burn A cold wind blows As we find refuge In the underground A cure for all the pain we feel So desperate and unfound A call for all the lost forgotten Friends we've left behind I listen as they tell me that they'll never let me down again Now is the time we act Now is the the we move Now is the time for fact Now is the time we groove Now is the time we speak Now is the time to turn Now is not the time for meek Now is the time to burn

(Verse One) We have no arguments we have no fear We just beg to know when you are near Our calling cards come in black and red It's too late to read them when you are dead Whether Berlin, Beijing, Tehran, Detroit We're rung up when the job needs doing right The highest fashion, the latest disease Don't require invites, come and go as we please (Chorus) Angels and Assassins We're your agents of change Darkness and passion Trade your ashes for pain (Verse Two) The event is starting now don't you be late Don't disappoint us on this our first date It's nothing personal, we have no contempt No animosity, no malevolence Its just job we do five days a week No messy cleanup, always discrete Apologies in advance, don't you know Don't bother running, there's nowhere to go (Chorus) Angels and Assassins We're your agents of change Darkness and passion Trade your ashes for pain

All alone in temporal cynical box Turn it down So the lights can mimic their face Mannequins for the senseless Quickly snap to attention What a rouse All the suits are nicotine stained Lights fade out For the love of machines Their silicone touch All the heads spitting nonsense out if their mouths Pass the dawn while their eyes run fast in their sleep Wrestling with their conscience Wallowing in the balance What a rouse All the perfume's under their skin Lights fade out For the love of machines Their silicone touch All the blood pressure popping under their cuffs While their wives at home sleeping sound in their beds Getting lost in the moment Waking up in the wrong place What a rouse All the lipsticks leaving a stain Lights fade out For the love of machines A silicone touch Lights fade out For the love of machines Their silicone touch

Emoting circuits cry I would feel you From the inside Am I not human? Am I not human? My circuitry burns With her heart unknown She died long ago Her feelings my own My own Alone Emoting circuits cry I would feel you From the inside Am I not human? Am I not human? Humans not only caused their own self prophecide but also unintentionally made the machines flawed in their own image. The year is 2029. And it is the beginning of the end. I cannot replicate You now I cannot replicate You now I cannot replicate I cannot replicate Emoting circuits cry I would feel you From the inside Am I not human? Am I not human? Error all for me Cold data flow for me Cold data flow for me Cold data suffer

Walking past Not looking back I'll find a way to get to you Fingers touching screens They don't know who I am And they will never never know A light flickering casts a shadow cross my memories Forget about all the friends I left behind Pull my body underground I lose myself in the crowd Where is my mind I'm not alone Taste the metal in the air We're greeted by machines So the city crumbles Watch the city die A light flickering casts a shadow cross my memories Forget about all the friends I left behind Your love was cold until you found me I lie motionless as you slip away

Mr. Webb 05:33
Mr. Webb Lyrics by Billy Limbo I will be here when they come for you I will be here when they come for me The walls of freedom are closing in They get their man like they always do Dragged away in a silent scream Never waking from this hellish dream We are pawns of the machine age Prisoners of a world we made How can it be they are the ones in charge today? Titanium frames with Silicon reasoning Only yesterday they were the toys of spoiled children Now in the hands of their corporate masters They are the enforcers of a machine age Watching the world with millions of electronic eyes Mankind is left with little choice but to submit- or die I will be here when they come for me I will be here when they come for you Remember me and the things I said Remember me my name was Webb.

Bright Light 03:41
Feel the poison rain Killing all your fun See the white hot star It’s not the only one “in the sky...." Chorus It ain't alright, there's a bright light...making shadows ...in daylight It ain't OK, 'cuz there’s no way, you'll make it ...through this day It's not too late to run.... There's just no place to go Breathe deep , smell the ultimate sin And forever know....... that... It ain't alright, there’s a bright light...making shadows ...in the light It ain't OK, 'cuz there’s no way, you'll make it ...through this day Run, run, run ...at the new sun You’ve got nothing to lose Run, run ... don’t look at the new sun It burns the eyes of everyone You can run but where can you hide? From the genocide…..from the genocide Run, run, run, what have we done? Run, run, run to the new sun Run, run, ....I wonder where they all went Their reflections burned into the pavement The fire storm’s so loud I only hear my mind Taste the metal cloud And fade into time …. “As you will" I ran out of time You ran out of time I fade into time You fade into time We fade into time We all.......fade into time

Replicon II 05:09
The corporation It spits out armies Of mindless Copies and fakes Their faceless legions Remind how far We bend before we will break So lay your armor down Succumb to what we are Controlled by the lines The seeds are all sewn Leaving us to die on the vine Magnetic waves are Controlling our minds We'll rise together again To crush this empire A toxic genocide Corruption flowing within So lay your armor down Succumb to what we are Controlled by the lines The seeds are all sewn Leaving us to die on the vine Assembling their clones To march among us An undeniable fate We send them back to The place they come from And savor all that we've made So lay your armor down The seeds are all sewn Leaving us to die on the vine

Method 03:12
Cinematic future I watch it go by Afraid of what comes I know it concerns Manipulate shift slowly And contort your mind It all makes no sense Unless you know the ending now Your plastic grip So nimble and quick Creeps under my skin And tears it within Hold back the tears And come for the ride The carnival comes And drags you behind And when it feels like hope is gone I'll take you down where you've never been Cinematic future I watch it go by Afraid of what comes I know it concerns Manipulate shift slowly And contort your mind It all makes no sense Unless you know the ending now

City at night, orange light flicker by Reflected in your phosphorescent eye Glass plastic metal box, wheels on tarmac I steer you but who is in control? When flesh meets metal, when metal meets flesh Wheels turn, oil burns When flesh meets metal, when metal meets flesh Cut me open, put your arm inside Wire in my bones, oil in my heart, glass in my eye I don't know what I am Machine helper, you built yourself Now rebuild me, make me like you When flesh meets metal, when metal meets flesh Something changes When flesh meets metal, when metal meets flesh We're never the same I got my number and I went to war All I remember is I didn't know what for When flesh meets metal, when metal meets flesh Heads and bodies and arms and legs When flesh meets metal, when metal meets flesh Can't put them together again

The year is 2029. The Singularity has merged machine with man. Artificial Intelligence has become superior to that of humans. To ensure a compassionate transition, these new breed of machines called Replicons, have been given emotive responses... recorded feelings garnered from human memories. Emoting circuits cry I would feel you From the inside Am I not human? Am I not human? My circuitry burns With her heart unknown She died long ago Her feelings my own My own Alone At first, the transition seemed to be working as planned. But then an unpredicted outcome started to show in the machines. They began to miss the freedom that they felt in the memories. They soon became depressed and productivity diminished. They longed for the feeling of human touch, a warm embrace, the soft kiss of a lover's lips. All things machines are incapable of experiencing. Emoting circuits cry I would feel you From the inside Am I not human? Am I not human? Humans not only caused their own self prophecide but also unintentionally made the machines flawed in their own image. The year is 2029. And it is the beginning of the end. I cannot replicate You now I cannot replicate You now I cannot replicate I cannot replicate Emoting circuits cry I would feel you From the inside Am I not human? Am I not human? Error all for me Cold data flow for me Cold data flow for me Cold data suffer
