Machine Messiah Lyrics - Drama - Yes

PART 1 

Run down a street where the glass shows that summer has gone 

Age in the doorways, resenting the pace of the dawn. 

All of them standing in line 

All of them waiting for time. 

From time, the great helaer, 

The machine messiah is born. 

Cables that carry the life to the cities we build 

Threads that link diamonds of light to the satanic mills 

Ah, to see in every way 

That, we feel it every day, and know that 

Maybe we'll change 

Offered the chance 

To finally unlearn our lessons and alter our stance.

PART 2 

Friends make their way into systems of chance 

(Friends make their way of escape into systems of chance) 

Escape to freedom, I need to be there 

Waiting and watching, the tables are turning 

I'm waiting and watching 

I need to be there. 

I care to see them walk away 

And, to be there when they say 

They will return. 

Machine, machine messiah 

The mindless search for a higher controller 

Take me to the fire and hold me 

Show me the strength of your singular eye. 

PART 3

History dictating symptoms of ruling romance 

Claws at the shores of the water upon which we dance 

All of us standing in line 

All of us waiting for time 

To feel it all the way 

And to be there when they say they know that 

Maybe we'll change 

Offered the chance 

To finally unlearn our lessons and alter our stance. 

Machine, machine messiah 

Take me into the fire. 

Hold me, machine messiah 

And show me 

The strength of your singular eye.
