Machine
Can't you hear the all deafening roar
Listen to the sound of progress
It is unrelenting and all encompassing
These vile emanations
Tell of the apparatus obscene
Is this the sound of progress
Why can't I drown it out
True size enormous
Unfathomable
Immense and nebulous
Complex beyond comprehension
We dwell in its shade
Worship its complexity
Bask in its glory
Oh great shrine of greed
Vast monolith
Hulking and timeless
Unnatural abomination
Can it be stopped
Will you sacrifice your body
Feel it rip and tear your flesh
Hear it snap and splinter your bones
Rusty tacky sheen
Ruby fluid pressed and drained
As machine merges with flesh
To become as one
Listen to the sound of progress
It is unrelenting and all encompassing
These vile emanations
Tell of the apparatus obscene
Is this the sound of progress
Why can't I drown it out
True size enormous
Unfathomable
Immense and nebulous
Complex beyond comprehension
We dwell in its shade
Worship its complexity
Bask in its glory
Oh great shrine of greed
Vast monolith
Hulking and timeless
Unnatural abomination
Can it be stopped
Will you sacrifice your body
Feel it rip and tear your flesh
Hear it snap and splinter your bones
Rusty tacky sheen
Ruby fluid pressed and drained
As machine merges with flesh
To become as one
