[Verse 1] Under the Atrium, white lights hum, A silver needle counts what we've become. No wrinkles crawl across the glass, No heartbeat tells how long will last. [Verse 2] Down in the Fog, the water tastes of rust, A child's hand grips a broken bus. Two bodies shiver beneath the rain, A name is carved into a windowpane. [Pre-Chorus] They cut the hunger from the bone, They sealed the fever in the stone. They pulled the shadow from the skin, And left the door wide open within. [Chorus] NOT GODS — NOT HUMAN — STILL WE FEED! ETERNITY RUNS ON WHAT WE BLEED! NO DEATH — NO SLEEP — NO END IN SIGHT! THE MACHINE CONSUMES THE LIGHT! [Break] (Instrumental: Polyrhythmic metallic percussion, gated noise, sub-bass pulses) [Verse 3] A woman keeps a photograph, The edges curl, the colors crack. Her lover's voice lives in the wire, A fading spark that won't expire. [Bridge] I watched the poor beneath the rain, Still hold each other through the pain. They lose their years, they lose their breath, Yet every touch outlives the death. We paid the price to leave the ground, Now every door is bolted down. No hunger here. No fever. No fear. Why does the silence sound so near? [Chorus] NOT GODS — NOT HUMAN — STILL WE FEED! ETERNITY RUNS ON WHAT WE BLEED! NO DEATH — NO SLEEP — NO END IN SIGHT! THE MACHINE CONSUMES THE LIGHT! [Hook] WE CLIMB — WE CLIMB — ABOVE THE SKIN! WE LOSE — WE LOSE — WHAT LIES WITHIN! WE LIVE — WE LIVE — BUT CANNOT DIE! THE FOG BELOW KEEPS US ALIVE! [Break] [Outro] A thousand years behind the glass, The engines turn, the shadows pass. The world below still dreams and dies, While hollow stars refuse to rise.
