Future Breed Machine (Mayhem Version) lyrics
by Meshuggah
An even strobe, a pulse of flashing hate
Lights of synthetic souls
Mass-produced, hammered into shape
A sign of times, dreams turn into systems
A new way, a new breed
Implanted in our minds
Here I am in the hand of sterile hate
The new control
Cannot wake
I'm not asleep
New intelligence arise in emptied bodies
Turgid flesh tested through eternal spastic fits
Through not known codes mother
Machine in genocide now scorn a dying race
Evolution in reverse
Now it's time for me
Changing
What am I to be?
Contorted
An eternity
Defeated
Programmed to appease you
We're symbols of perfection
Humanoids runed by your laws
Destroy erase improve
Lesson first submission
We're docile servant dogs
Our leashes are your limbs
Computed deep within
Remoted minds controlled our thoughts
No more doubts
The new way is here disgorged
Another thousands fakes that obey
To a circuit skein
To vacuum
Mechanical thoughts
I now conceive no longer me
Always to see inanity
Millions to be units like me
Eternally human patterns
Copied, dissected, distorted
Completed to fit the machine
The nerve fibres give in to cords to the unknown
See me
Be me
Same contents
Same machine
Currency of ours no more
Flesh and bone
We are to be
Unaware of what we have been before
Evolution in reverse
Now it's time for me
Changing
What am I to be?
Contorted
An eternity
Defeated
By the new machine
