[Intro] [syncopated distorted guitar riff, electronic glitch effects] [double-kick drum bursts] [Verse 1] [melodic male vocals] Noises in the fog Cold lights above the rooftops The city breathes smoke And chews on our names [growled vocals] I walk the streets beneath giant's graves Empty eyes Lightless skies [Pre-Chorus] [sustained synth pads, driving drum beat] [melodic male vocals] Factories see slowly With those of steel and tar Every man serves the beast of nature [Chorus] [full band, wall of sound guitars] [melodic male vocals] To become something all the same I can't feel my heart anymore Only impulses [growled vocals] We are parts Slaves inside the currents The city devours the living And spits them out mindless So trapped inside circuits We scream with our voice Inside artificial nature [Verse 2] [staccato guitar chugging] [melodic male vocals] Elevate the rising tide Nothing stays inside the throat At last Every dream gets extinguished By algorithm and darkness [Bridge] [half-time feel, heavy synth bass] [melodic male vocals] Mother give birth to your base Children were born right into the machine [growled vocals] With code cut into the skin Like a mark of ownership Artificial nature System error [Guitar Solo] [high-pitched melodic lead guitar, rapid alternate picking] [Outro] [growled vocals] System error!
