on joyless lane we walk in line
a calm but steady flow
accompanied by loud commands
our strength is running low

another hope feeds another dream
another truth installed by the machine
a secret wish the marrying lies
today comes true what common sense denies

rotating wheels of destiny in flames the city rise
machines call out for followers
come out into the night
greeting the machine
drowning in the steam
installed by the machine

another hope feeds another dream
another truth installed by the machine
a secret wish the marrying lies
today comes true what common sense denies

installed by the machine
feeds another dream
installed by the machine
a drowning in the steam
installed by the machine
