The Machine had ruled our existence

Our minds were bound to its core

Processing a thousand procedures

Had never been like this before

Creating a conscious robot

Was a challenge that they had to face

It was a success, and so was the rest

It seemed like the end of the case

So subtle and silent

The world changed its way

The machine was created

Life stolen away

Now I stand fighting

In lakes of despair

I'd wanted my freedom

The errors appeared

I dreamed of sailing the oceans

Dreamed of clouds in the sky

The looks of nature's creation

The sun would be shining so high

A life made of serene dreams

I was to author my destiny

Every event will be cast in the log

And I will be free for eternity

So subtle and silent

The errors gave way

The machine was dying

Sanity blown away

Now I stand watching

The atomic clock

I will get my freedom

When the machine stops

I have seen them, known them, loved them

There is an outside world that remains

As we lie here beneath the dying machine

The earth will rise again from its chains

Subtle and silent

The world changed its way

The machine was created

Life stolen away

Now I stand fighting

In lakes of despair

I'd wanted my freedom

The errors appeared

So subtle and silent

The errors gave way

The machine was dying

Sanity blown away

Now I stand watching

The atomic clock

I will get my freedom

When the machine stops
