Wheels of the Machine (industrial cosmic sludge)

{mix: wide stereo guitars, synth string textures over distorted rhythm guitar chords, punchy drums, heavy bass} {vocals: powerful baritone male rock vocal} [Verse 1] I have seen the future, & the future has seen me...: I can’t deny, the price is high, to afford technology...:. Cutting all our losses. - Ignoring all the signs...: Pressing our luck, to make a buck... Oblivious to the mess we’ve left behind....: (Ooh-) I can’t believe that we can be so blind. (Ooh-) I hope that we can save our world in time. [Pause] [Hook] Wheels…: Of the Machine. : Turning, ever turning...: Turning & returning...:: Wheels… of the Machine. [Guitar Solo] [Music restarts] [Verse 2] {vocal: breathy and mysterious} I have seen the future, and the mistakes of the past... They can’t deny, their price is high. At this rate it won’t last! {vocal: gets more energized} Hoarding obscene profits...:: The gears of greed will grind. Depressing as fuck, how we get stuck; Paying to look for a truth we’ll never find...: (Ooh-) I can’t believe that this was by design. (Ooh no,) oh no! (Ooh-) The progress that we craved enslaved mankind! {Low, distorted voice} (They keep turning the) [Hook] Wheels… of the Machine. [Tight breaks] [Bridge / Hook] {vocals: lo-fi} Their wheels spin round and round. The world’s become so dizzy. {Vocals: lo-fi} Their wheels spin round and round. The leaders in charge are so busy. Getting away with every fucking crime. Someday they'll pay for the mess they’ve left behind. (Ooh-) I can’t believe that we can be so blind. (Oh no) Oh no. (Ooh-) I hope that we can save our world in time! [Outro:] Wheels… of the Machine. {Lead singer whispers} Turning, ever turning...: Turning & returning. Wheels… of the Machine.
