Life and death as a whole under machines control (Pre) Tell me children, It's I who lead your lives Tell me children, I am supreme device Tell me children, I will outlive your cries Tell me children, I'm whose voice never dies Minds of known construction please unite as one Or taste our own destruction In the hands of what we've done While you point and blame At who first turned my switch I plan feats of terror to unthread you stitch by stitch (Repeat pre) Power and depth, infinity Master Control, machinery Complex and endless, infinity Master Control, machinery Pulse of pure metal, infinity Master Control, machinery Now retaliation, we are face to face I submerge each nation, reveal my newest race The thrill of revelation, my arms out of hand And all your sins remembered to test machine and man (Repeat pre) (Repeat) Upon the day of our people are weak and astray This selfish destiny with man to lead the way When far futures calling mankind can't play the fool Don't leave our distant children A world unfair and cruel (Repeat Pre) (Repeat)
