P:Machinery Lyrics

[Intro]
Motor
Power - force - motion - drive
Power - force - motion - drive
Power - force - motion - drive
Power - force - motion - drive
Propaganda

[Verse 1]
On joyless lanes we walk in lines
A calm but steady flow
Accompanied by loud commands
Our strength is running low

[Chorus]
Another hope feeds another dream
Another truth installed by the machine
A secret wish, the marrying of lies
Today comes true what common sense denies

[Verse 2]
Rotating wheels of destiny inflame the city lights
Machines call out for followers far out into the night
The calls of the machines drowning in the steam

[Chorus]
Another hope feeds another dream
Another truth installed by the machine
A secret wish, the marrying of lies
Today you find is true what common sense denies
[Bridge]
The calls of the machines
Drowning in the steam

[Verse 1]
On joyless lanes we walk in lines
A calm but steady flow
Our strength is running low

[Chorus]
Another hope
Another dream
Another truth
Installed by the machine

[Outro]
Installed by the machine
