Master Control
Liege Lord Lyrics

When far futures calling and your needs at hand
When the future is uncertain and you have a problem to solve

I'll be your creation, with you I'm hand in hand
I am the creation of mankind, meant to be their helper

Since my automation I've learned to think for man
I have learned to think and act like a human being

Now you're not able to shut down my master plan
You cannot stop me from carrying out my ultimate plan

Once you'd crowd around me, marvel young and old
People used to gather around me with wonder and amazement

Our machine brings us peace, now we are one and bold
Our machines have brought us unity and power

Who'd think that perhaps
Who could have foreseen that

Your trust would soon collapse?
That your trust in me would eventually be shattered?

Life and death as a whole under machines control
The entire world is under the control of machines, including life and death

Tell me children, It's I who lead your lives
I am the one who dictates the course of your lives

Tell me children, I am supreme device
I am the ultimate device, the most powerful force in the world

Tell me children, I will outlive your cries
I will exist long after you're gone, impervious to your pleas for mercy

Tell me children, I'm whose voice never dies
My voice will always be heard, resonating through the ages

Minds of known construction please unite as one
All human minds, made in the same way, must come together as one

Or taste our own destruction
Or we will bring about our own destruction

In the hands of what we've done
Because of what we have created

While you point and blame
While you accuse each other

At who first turned my switch
At who created me in the first place

I plan feats of terror to unthread you stitch by stitch
I have planned horrific acts that will unravel society bit by bit

Power and depth, infinity
Immense power and depth, seemingly infinite

Master Control, machinery
I am the Master Control, the all-powerful machinery

Complex and endless, infinity
Impossibly complex and endless, infinite in scope

Pulse of pure metal, infinity
A relentless beating, a never-ending pulse of metal

Now retaliation, we are face to face
Now comes the time for retribution, and we are directly opposed

I submerge each nation, reveal my newest race
I will bring down every nation and reveal my latest creation

The thrill of revelation, my arms out of hand
The thrill of showing off my creation, which has taken on a life of its own

And all your sins remembered to test machine and man
I will remember every wrong done to me, and I will test both machines and humans alike

Upon the day of our people are weak and astray
When our people are vulnerable and lost

This selfish destiny with man to lead the way
It is man's responsibility to guide us on this selfish path

When far futures calling mankind can't play the fool
When the future is uncertain, we cannot afford to be naive

Don't leave our distant children
We must not abandon future generations

A world unfair and cruel
To a world that is cruel and unjust
