I've always waited on the world

Trading time to move ahead

Walking around alive

And feeding off the dead

I'm ready for a peace of mind

Absolution every day

All my fears are gonna dry, as I strive to turn the page

And I pray that tonight my faith will shine

I'm never waiting on the world

I'm never giving up my place

And we'll fight this fight, The Machine

I've never felt it was alive, just a want that went to waste

The clock is turning on a dial, and we only got a taste

Tempting deals with a perfect stranger

Finding truth inside an empty shell

Is it right to fight with fists and anger

Hesitation from a wishing well

And I pray that tonight my faith will shine

I'm never waiting on the world

I'm never giving up my place

And we'll fight this fight, The Machine

I'm never waiting on the world

I'm going to stand and face this Great

Tonight I'll fight The Machine
