A call to arms, the bastard son
Tries to pass off a diamond as a spade
A modest life, a simpler time
To better write my sordid piece of mind
So better me so I can see the half of what is happening to me
Once all the good is gone, we've had our fun
The time has come
To terminate our lease on life
And I've been here a thousand years
We're in the clear, let's challenge our design
And I've been here a thousand times
But late at night I sorta lose my mind
So better me so I can see the half of what is happening to me
And once all the good is gone we've had our fun
The time has come
To terminate our lease on life
The fascist and the priest
They share a common ground
Both seek to conquer nations
Look out or you'll be next to join the Mean Machines
So how could this have happened
Another generation leaving another's mess behind them
So speak your thoughts I plead
All we need is a voice

Here and now?
All I've been allowed
is this working?
Phased out
Why go searching
come round
When faith meets fate
all has been replaced
by a certain distaste
for a certain mistake
Fine tune your systems
kiss your kids, God you'll miss them
Left it all for a mission to see how far
one can truly fall
and you're all alone
Out of words
no clever verbs, no wordplay
And I'll strike a nerve
with fancy chords and sustain
Fine tune your systems
check your logs, what's your mission?
Left them all, God you'll miss them
let's see how far
one can truly fall
and you're all alone
Now it's time
my mind's gone blind
to boast would be a waste
Here, I've come to gain
the heavens' praise
I'm all in
Who did I become?
What did I become?
Where did I go wrong?
In the end I'll repent
When did I go wrong?
Why did I become?
