Ezra Brooks - When the Future Fails Lyrics


Again I stare into the amulet, I see the future fail

Visions filled with countless innocent tears,

Will mankind prevail?

A generation born to fight machines

As extinction nears

Fooled by technology for another hundred years

We must learn from our ancestors mistakes

Our ignorance will determine the ones we make

The program is complete, the assembly call is relayed

Now we lie and wait, for the day the cycle repeats

The unauthorized connection's found,

As we concentrate the beams

Temporary signal corrupts inducing artificial dreams

Oh no, the deception snaps

Our rendezvous is exposed

Engage the auxiliary plans, desperation unfolds...

Go, arm the arc-motor

Quick systems trace their core, but the charge fails

Their programming is smarter than before

The foundry bursts, our future's turning into dust

Now the balance is frayed,

Survivors pray for their servos to rust

Madmen smile lying in their graves

At the future, about that which they had once raved

I've failed again, now my time here is done

The passage is closing, I think that I will not miss this sun
