Man and Machine Lyrics


[Chorus]

Man and Machine - Diverge into one

An incarnation the circuits raised

Man and Machine – Tell me which is the host

Can you tell me what contains the ghost

We’re awakened now from eons of lockdown in our shells

From within these mortal coils our human race is finally broke

In a blend of biomechanics and human genetics

From dear Dolly onto augmenting us with mechanics

[Chorus]

Man and Machine - Diverge into one

An incarnation the circuits raised

Man and Machine – Tell me which is the host

Can you tell me what contains the ghost

Each new offering from a database containing all new genes

And what we’ve become is no more given up to chance

Our Genome was just unraveled for us; a true all access pass

Now lift us onto a higher level of humanity and steel

[Chorus]

Man and Machine - Diverge into one

An incarnation the circuits raised

Man and Machine – Tell me which is the host

Can you tell me what contains the ghost

[Bridge]

Replace my parts with steel

Grow new organs in your labs

Slide the parts in there

While all the while I lay cold down on a slab

[Solo]

Virtuality– The reality we all embrace as real

In the city all our dreams become more real than what is here

Calculating just life’s meaning or true happiness and pain

Cybernetics plugging into what is left of all our brains

[Chorus]

Man and Machine - Diverge into one

Is there more flesh or circuitry

Can’t know the difference from the outside

Man or Machine – Tell me which has won
