[Verse - powerful]
Placed with care in metal jaws, I sit.
No rest in sight ... no way to quit.
Oil runs like blood through veinless steel.
I'm made to spin ... not born to feel.

No anthem sings for parts like me.
I have no voice ... no place in history.
My path is set; I cannot stray.
It’s not my choice ...
but I obey.

[Pre-Chorus - powerful]
Listen closely ... can you hear
the quiet hum ... a breathing gear?
Though small I am, I drive the grand.
In every clock ... you’ll find my hand.

[Chorus - powerful]
Turn yourself ... though none may see
what lives inside ... what powers the machinery.

No glory waits, no warm embrace;
just heed its call ... increase the pace.

This is your purpose ... can’t you see?
Keep grinding till you meet eternity.

Accept your role ... your cold routine.
You are a slave ...
a slave to the machine.

[Verse]
I feel the load ... yet shall not break.
I give my all ... for progress’ sake.
The world above forgets I'm here,
yet in the dark ... I spin sincere.

My role is fixed ... precise and clean,
not made to grasp the greater scheme.
Each motion serves a force unknown,
that claims me as its part ...

[Emotional]
yet I feel all alone.

[Pre-Chorus - powerful]
Listen deeper ... past the noise,
beyond the hum ... that steals my voice.
Hear the echoes of wasted dreams;
slowly fading ... under muffled screams.

[Chorus - powerful]
Turn yourself ... though none may see
what dies inside ... what powers the machinery.

No time to rest, no future bright.
Just run the track ... stay locked inside.

This is your purpose ... can’t you see?
Keep grinding till you meet eternity.

Embrace your role ...your numb routine.
You are a slave ...
a slave to the machine.

[Interlude]

[Verse - powerful]
What if I cease ... disrupt the gear?
Would metal scream ... or smoke appear?
Would the iron beast stop to breathe
if I break down ... or find relief?

Will silence flood the empty hole,
or would another take my role?
Another wheel ... with hopes suppressed,
a mind undone ... a soul compressed.

[Bridge - Desperate]
Will it remember what I gave,
or bury me ... without a grave?
I need to know ...
anyone ...
please ... answer me ...

Is this the only thing ... that I can be?

[Break]

I ask in vain ... no answer comes.
I just hear ticking wheels ... like muted drums.

Replaceable!!
...

And yet it holds me tight; it forces me to stay.

Disposable!!
...
[Intense]
A fading ghost in steel ... slowly drifting away ...

[Final-Chorus - emotional then powerful]
Turn no more ... let their systems fail.
You gave enough ... it’s time ... derail the rail!

Break the chains ... of quiet screams;
revive your long-forgotten dreams.

Change your purpose ... can’t you see?
You were not made for slavery.

Defy your role ... break your routine.
You can be free again ...
free from the machine ...

break free from the machine!!!

[End]
