lyrics
Behind that smile and those glimmering eyes,
Behind the shining, white teeth
Is a sword of malice,
A sword of lies
You marched right on in
And pronounced us all dead
Your charm could not mask
The real you and your dark evil depths
One by one
March down the line
Conveyor belt
To our demise
No movements
No breathing
Just metal casings with
No feelings
One by one
Remove our brains
Our greatest loss
Is society’s gain
And our hearts,
Mere batteries
Nothing more
Could we ever dream to be
We all are no longer human
We are but machines
You take, take, take, take,
And break us
With every word you speak
Conformity is all we desire
But it’s only a fragile toy
When we refuse your lies,
Your cords,
Your batteries,
We find true joy
One by one
March down the line
Conveyor belt
To our demise
No movements
No breathing
Just metal casings with
No feelings
One by one
Remove our brains
Our greatest loss
Is society’s gain
And our hearts,
Mere batteries
Nothing more
Could we ever dream to be
You,
I will never be
I will never, even follow you blindly
I cannot give in
To your lies and deceit
So ever present in
The age of machines
Behind the shining, white teeth
Is a sword of malice,
A sword of lies
You marched right on in
And pronounced us all dead
Your charm could not mask
The real you and your dark evil depths
One by one
March down the line
Conveyor belt
To our demise
No movements
No breathing
Just metal casings with
No feelings
One by one
Remove our brains
Our greatest loss
Is society’s gain
And our hearts,
Mere batteries
Nothing more
Could we ever dream to be
We all are no longer human
We are but machines
You take, take, take, take,
And break us
With every word you speak
Conformity is all we desire
But it’s only a fragile toy
When we refuse your lies,
Your cords,
Your batteries,
We find true joy
One by one
March down the line
Conveyor belt
To our demise
No movements
No breathing
Just metal casings with
No feelings
One by one
Remove our brains
Our greatest loss
Is society’s gain
And our hearts,
Mere batteries
Nothing more
Could we ever dream to be
You,
I will never be
I will never, even follow you blindly
I cannot give in
To your lies and deceit
So ever present in
The age of machines

Impossible Worlds
by Kevin Daniel CahillThis stunning two-part work from classical guitarist Kevin Daniel Cahill is suffusive ambient that aims for transcendence.
go to album -
The songs on Kelly Reed’s latest are slyly self-deprecating, set to a backdrop of measured keys and guitar for maximum stateliness.
