  • Bleeds
    Breathes

    What stands before us, is not a machine
    It breathes, it will bleed and it dreams

    It's body is covered in hundreds of wires
    And a mouth that attempts to speak, it attempts to lie

    Only murmurs, collapse from its jaws
    And a world, a world without
    A world without you
    But I rise, the dead will pride
    It breathes, beyond this life
    So sleep, sleep among us, hesitate no more

    Entombment of a machine
    We kneel and we plead for no
    Mourning ahead of us
    With only delayed movements
    From its figure
    We all begin to strain

    Entombment of a machine
    Entombment of a machine

    What stands before us is not a machine
    What stands before us is not a machine

    My legs weaken at the site of this damaged program
    This program kept you breathing, it kept you alive
    These circuits diffused once more

    Its body is covered in hundreds of wires
    Only murmurs collapse from its scream
    Entombment of a machine

    But I saw it die
    But I saw it die
    But I saw it dead
    But I saw it die
    I saw it die
    I watched it die Writer/s: Alan Daniel Glassman, Alan Glassman, Anthony Sannicandro, Jon Rice, Jonathan Davy, Nicholas Schendzielos, Nick Schendzielos

  • Alex from CaI think the machine is the US Government running the country and all of us follow along and strain ourselves to support it. I'm not anti-government or pro-government, but a lot of songs from this generation of DeathMetal were commentary on government. Sadly this form of music has dissipated greatly in the last decade. Rest in peace to a generation of legends for at least one generation.
  • Ben from Gero, AustraliaWhat i thought these lyrics ment was a life support machine in a hospital."For this program kept you breathing, it kept you alive" suggested to me that he was talking about someone on life support. But the jesus thing seems more suppported
