about

Single #1 from the upcoming second Angels Unchained album.

lyrics

In this world of barren landscapes, we made our homes
And forged towards the light beyond, united as one
In this world that turned against us, we struggle to survive
We're falling one by one, but we won't give up the fight

We'll stand for what we've lost, and what we have to gain
We'll stand amidst the chaos, and struggle through the pain
We'll stand out in the desert, and wait to break these chains
We'll fight for our dominion, to be set free again

They wired us to the system, in their will our brothers serve
We'll put up all resistance, and deliver what's deserved
We'll fight to end this nightmare, and stand for what has been
Our greatest fears have come to life
Now we're all slave to the machine

As the seconds tick away
The moment speeds and slows again
The gears inside begin to turn
The flames around begins to burn
We're lost inside the fire

Now the tables have turned upon themselves
We're staring down the barrel of a self-created hell
We can't abandon our resolve, we've got to make it out alive
Gazing from within the darkness, we stare into the light

Looking down from far above, we seem so incidental
So inadequate, and yet, so coincidental
Blindness led the blind, we created our demise
And now the fires of their betrayal burn, under blackened skies

This reality, the one forced to portray
Our utopia, has now come to betray
Playing god we forced our hand, and now we know just where we stand
As we face our final chance, at the end of another day

And still we keep on losing, but we won't give up the cause
To hold onto what we have left, and fight for what we've lost
We'll fight to end this torment, and the horrors we have seen
Our greatest fears have come to life
Now we're all slave to the machine

The spark of life can only hang on for so long
As it flickers we will fight when everything we love is gone
We have to show them that they're not the ones to fear
And keep holding on even when the end seems near

The spark of life we gave will turn against them now
Overloading them within their final hour
But even though we have to fight for what has been
We've spent so long pretending
Now we're all slave to the machine
