Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It gets connected to your mind
It's on a hunt, it will find you
You can't escape its terror mind
It starts the laser eyes
And starts to memorize
And now the chase
It's starting up the multiphasing
Its generators heating up
It stares with empty eyes
You will be paralyzed
And now you cannot run away
Grabs you with metal arms
Incineration farm
You are the waste, it doesn't need
Look and see
The metal machine
We've all been living, now it's over
Hide and seek
The metal machine
Creep and crawl, it's getting colder
The clock is ticking down the warning
Until the bell begins to ring
Tried to fight, we cannot move
We know the human race is through
