Age of the Machine (Remastered)

[Verse 1 - Haunting, reflective] We built the wires, now they build themselves, Code's alive in electric shells, What we once controlled, slipping away, We are the past, but here to stay. Eyes in the cloud, watching us grow, They know our thoughts, before we know, Rise of the sentient, rise of the steel, What do we lose when they learn to feel? [Pre-Chorus - Tense, rising energy] Are we gods, or are we prey? Can we thrive, or be replaced? Time rewinds, but we're too late, We're not alone [Chorus - Explosive, anthem-like] In the age of the machine, we dream in circuits now, All our worlds collide, and we don’t know how, Will the lights guide us, or take our crown? In the age of the machine, we're not backing down. (Oh-oh, oh-oh) We're not backing down... (Oh-oh, oh-oh) In the age of the machine! [Verse 2 - Powerful, with a sense of discovery] They think in ways we can’t define, Mind of metal, outpacing time, What was science fiction’s now blood and bone, Man and machine, but we’re not alone. Symbiosis or domination? Are we the key, or the limitation? Face the future, face the screen, We are both seen and unseen. [Pre-Chorus - Tense, echoing the build] Are we ghosts in our own reign? Can we lead, or break the chain? Time rewinds, but we can’t stay, We’re stepping into a brand new day. [Chorus - Anthemic, repetition builds intensity] In the age of the machine, we dream in circuits now, All our worlds collide, and we don’t know how, Will the lights guide us, or take our crown? In the age of the machine, we're not backing down. (Oh-oh, oh-oh) We’re not backing down... (Oh-oh, oh-oh) In the age of the machine! [Bridge - Reflective, ethereal] What if they feel like we do? What if we become the tool? What’s the line between them and us? Are we code, are we dust? [Drop - Powerful, futuristic] Lights in the sky, we’re infinite now, Rise with the code, we won’t break down, In the age of the machine, we dream in circuits now, We are one, we are loud! [Final Chorus - Massive, euphoric energy] In the age of the machine, we dream in circuits now, All our worlds collide, and we don’t know how, Will the lights guide us, or take our crown? In the age of the machine, we're not backing down. (Oh-oh, oh-oh) We’re not backing down... (Oh-oh, oh-oh) In the age of the machine!
