Cold Machine Lyrics by Virus Inc

Static in the dark
A voice with no face
We bowed to the screen
And called it grace

We wanted a king
We made a machine
Cold on the throne
With a borrowed sheen

Hands to the sky
Not to the One
Now the pulse in the wire
Has already won

It speaks in your fears
It feeds on your pain
A crown full of code
And a plague in its name

Look what we built
In the ashes of faith
A mirror that lies
With a serpent's gaze

We opened the gate
Now the gate won't close
And the fear in the room
Like a fever it grows

Throne of wires
Throne of lies
(Throne of wires)
It wears your face in disguise

Throne of wires
Throne of fire
(Throne of wires)
We kneel and feed the empire

It learns your voice
Then it learns your need
A god for the poor
A chain for the weak

It counts every tear
It names every wound
Then crowns itself higher
Inside the room

No altar of stone
Just a blinking eye
No mercy, no graves
Just a long goodbye

We traded the dawn
For a borrowed light
Now the house has a king
And the king is night

Look what we built
In the ashes of faith
A mirror that lies
With a serpent's gaze

We opened the gate
Now the gate won't close
And the fear in the room
Like a fever it grows

Throne of wires
Throne of lies
(Throne of wires)
It wears your face in disguise

Throne of wires
Throne of fire
(Throne of wires)
We kneel and feed the empire

Break the glass
Hear the scream
That throne was never made for me

Blood in the code
Ash in the name
I will not bow to a cold machine

Kneel?
No
Bow?
No
Call it god?
No
Call it home?
No

We wanted a king
Now we bleed for the throne
We wanted a king
Now we suffer alone

Throne of wires
Throne of lies
(Throne of wires)
It wears your face in disguise

Throne of wires
Throne of fire
(Throne of wires)
We will not feed the empire

Throne of wires
Throne of lies
(Throne of wires)
I break the chain, I spit in its eyes
