Yes - Machine Messiah

Run down a street
Where the glass shows
That summer has gone
Age, in the doorways
Resenting the pace of the dawn
All of them standing in line
All of them waiting for time
From time, the great healer
The machine Messiah
Is born
Cables that carry the life
To the cities we build
Threads that link diamonds of life
To the satanic mills
Ah, to see in every way
That we feel it every
Day, and know that
Maybe we'll change
Offered the chance
To finally unlearn our lessons
And alter our stance
Friends make their way into systems of chance
reply friends make their way of escape into systems of chance
Escape to freedom I need to be there
Waiting and watching, the tables are turning
I'm waiting and watching
I need to be there
I care to see them walk away
And, to be there when they say
They will return
Machine, Messiah
The mindless
Search for a higher
Controller
Take me to the fire
And hold me
Show me the strength of your
Singular eye
History dictating symptoms of ruling romance
Claws at the shores of the water upon which we dance
All of us standing in line
All of us waiting for time
To feel it, all the way
And to be there when they
Say they know that
Maybe we'll change
Offered the chance
To finally unlearn our lessons
And alter our stance
Machine, machine Messiah
Take me into the fire
Hold me, machine Messiah
And show me
The strength of your singular eye
Run down a street
Where the glass shows
That summer has gone
Age, in the doorways
Resenting the pace of the dawn
All of them standing in line
All of them waiting for time
From time, the great healer
The machine Messiah
Is born
Cables that carry the life
To the cities we build
Threads that link diamonds of life
To the satanic mills
Ah, to see in every way
That we feel it every
Day, and know that
Maybe we'll change
Offered the chance
To finally unlearn our lessons
And alter our stance
Friends make their way into systems of chance
reply friends make their way of escape into systems of chance
Escape to freedom I need to be there
Waiting and watching, the tables are turning
I'm waiting and watching
I need to be there
I care to see them walk away
And, to be there when they say
They will return
Machine, Messiah
The mindless

Hold me, machine Messiah
And show me
The strength of your singular eye
