Future Breed Machine lyrics
by Meshuggah
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
I 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 ruined by your laws:
Destroy, erase, improve
Lesson first: submission
We're docile servant dogs
Our leashes are your limbs
Computed deep within
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Guitar Solo]
Remoted minds
Control our thoughts
No more doubts
The new way is here
Disgorged
Another thousand fakes that obey
To a circuit skein, to vacuum
[Guitar Solo]
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
The currency
Of ours no more
Flesh and bone
We are to be unaware
Of what we have been before
[Chorus]
Evolution
In reverse
Now it's time for me
Changing
What am I to be
Contorted
An eternity
Defeated
By the new machine
