[Intro - "The Machine Wakes"] There’s a hum in the wires, A song in the dust. Every chord that we lost, Now sings in the rust. The shadows are dancing, To a tune we once knew, But the ghosts in the machine... Are singing for you. [chorus] Oh-oh-oh, hear the ghosts in the machine, Singing back what we left in the seams. Oh-oh-oh, it’s a chant of the light, Turning our shadows into the night. Every note that we stole, Now shines like gold. [Sound: synth glitch] The echoes are calling, From the tracks left behind, But the ghosts in the machine... Are singing in time. So I light a candle, And I hum a tune, [Sound: ghostly harmonies] And the shadows start swaying, To the light of the moon. Now the ghosts are our choir, And the night is our stage, And the music’s the spell... That turns back the page. [chorus] Oh-oh-oh, hear the ghosts in the machine, Singing back what we left in the seams. Oh-oh-oh, it’s a chant of the light, Turning our shadows into the night. Oh-oh-oh, hear the ghosts in the machine, Singing back what we left in the seams. Oh-oh-oh, it’s a chant of the light, Turning our shadows into the night. [Sound: piano note echoing] But the song stays the same. But the ghosts in the machine... Are singing your name.
