Through the rise and fall of time

I live on for grand design

Not a slave but part of power

In the heart of time’s great tower

Row after row

On and off we go

We're marching blind with burning eyes into the fall

Year after year

Driven by fear

We are the parts of one great killing death machine

I’m not your tool

I’m not your slave

I’ll choke the gears

And wait

For your machine

To fail

Let it die

Rising, falling of empires

Hear the march of dreams and liars

Driven forward, never choosing

Built for fighting, born for losing

I am just a part

You’re just a part

The gears of this machine

With mindless steely heart

When you are gone

Another comes

And the machine goes on

To win its hollow wars

I won't obey

I won't comply

I’ll stop the gears

And watch your monster slowly die

Let it die!

I’m not deaf

I’m not blind

And I can break this neverending run of time

I’ll make it fall

I’ll make it crash

I can escape this cold machine

No mental crush

I won't obey

I won't comply

I’ll stop the gears

And watch your monster slowly die

Let it die!
