Blood In The Machine

BLOOD IN THE MACHINE
(Written by Ben Antoniadis)

In the mad city streets, a madman's scream
Bloodshot eyes, a chemical dream
Accusing the silence of murderous violence
Laughing in the face of his own madness

The town hall bell rings in your tired ear
It's the sound of doom from yesteryear
Tolling for the blind who walk the street
Under subtle tyranny that they cannot see

Eyes in your bedroom, eyes in the sky
On every street corner like thieves in the night
Radiation waves goodbye to yesterday
Chaos and disorder where the devil plays

The powers rejoice, the media applaud
The next world war, the war on us all
And it'll all be on camera, it'll all be televised
And we'll all be big stars in our own demise
As reality explodes into a billion bytes
And we all go viral in our own minds

A psychopath's fantasy, so cruel and obscene
Where war is unending against the enemy
Though grace in the silence, truth in the unseen
Though love in man, blood in the machine

But it's just another night, baby, chasing the light
Waiting on a sign from the other side
As the madman drifting across forgotten ocean
Sailing to the moon, into beautiful oblivion
