lirik lagu stereomyth - chapter nine - the machine underneath the world
[verse 1]
you come to, eyes bloodshot, there in a metallic room
listen to the sound of whizzing cranks in a sulfur plume
conveyor belts woven with pneumatic tubes
tiny little bots inside beryllium cubes
your hands are bound, your face to the ground
you start to think that maybe you wish that you had drowned in the sea
you hear a sound at the door, a fumbling of many keys
the old man, the old man, d~mnit
bursts through the door with the force of a planet
he says come on cause we’re in grave danger
well this journеy that you’re on, well it’s about to get strangеr
you leave the room, your legs on turbo
behind you, you can hear the strange sound of a servo
you look back at the dim light track
a thousand pairs of red eyes pursue you in a pack
[chorus]
they say
we are the machine underneath the world
everything you’ve ever loved will come unfurled
well if you disobey, you will pay
we control the night and day
submit now, back to the pack you must assimilate
don’t be afraid of metal hands and red eyes
everything you’ve ever known is just a disguise
well if you try to flee, you will see
we control society
submit now, you’re not allowed to live defiantly
[verse 2]
the old man huffs and heaves
but he explains the situation as he tries to breathe
he says that there are slaves, cages for days
and there’s an evil queen that keeps them in this underground maze
but even worse, they control the land from below
from the sea to that lush green port that you know
to the island where old memories emerged again
to the cave where illusions came and reeled you in
you start a double~take and balk but now you know better
everything he’s told you has been true to the letter
so how does one confront a crazy army of bots
powered by a planet of a billion watts?
old man states that he’ll be the bait
that he’ll divert the army while you go and search the place for the queen
the bots draw close, little sp~ce in between
they speak loud now, one machine
[chorus]
they say
we are the machine underneath the world
everything you’ve ever loved will come unfurled
well if you disobey, you will pay
we control the night and day
submit now, back to the pack you must assimilate
don’t be afraid of metal hands and red eyes
everything you’ve ever known is just a disguise
well if you try to flee, you will see
we control society
submit now, you’re not allowed to live defiantly
[verse 3]
the old man stops in his tracks and he turns
he rises up, and his eyes they begin to burn with a fire
the robots begin to conspire
to bring him down, to bind him in platinum wire
you keep running, stumbling to survive
you lose sight of the light of the robot hive
the plan worked for the time being
you hear a crash behind you but you keep on fleeing, like
[bridge]
like
like
like (oh, oh, oh, oh)
uh~uh (uh~uh)
oh, oh, oh, oh
uh~uh (uh~uh)
[verse 4]
you can’t believe the many sights that you see
control rooms, cages, and slaves, but no keys
where is the queen bee stuck inside this dead tree
stumble to the west as your chest cannot find reprieve
you turn a corner, expecting the coroner
but suddenly you feel more hot~blooded than foreigner
a beautiful damsel, her assets ample
she beckons you, you reckon that you’d like to have a sample
and in your mind you know that something is very wrong
but paralyzed, anesthetized, you go and follow along
you march at double~time and balk, you thought you knew better
she takes your hand and walks you like an irish setter, saying
i am the machine underneath the world
slowly the illusion starts to come unfurled
a horrible visage
you try to turn and flee
but falling down, you notice that you’re bound at the feet
