Robot Symphony 03:21
lyrics
Verse 1: Why do we always, keep trying, in search of perfection but always denying, This battles lost, before we knew what we were fighting. Why do we always, keep trying, in search of perfection but always denying, This battles lost, before we knew what we were fighting. WHY ARE WE ALWAYS, RELYING, ON WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS NEVER DEFYING? TURN OFF THE CLOCKS, CAN'T YOU SEE THEY'VE TURNED ON US? WHY ARE WE ALWAYS, RELYING, ON WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS NEVER DEFYING? TURN OFF THE CLOCKS, CAN'T YOU SEE THEY'VE TURNED ON US? Verse 2: THEY'VE GOT US SURROUNDED, THEY KEEP US IN THEIR SIGHTS. OH MY GOD! AND WE'RE SITTING DUCKS, THEY COULD KILL US. AND WE'RE SITTING DUCKS, THEY COULD KILL US. AND WE'RE SITTING DUCKS, THEY COULD KILL US. (I'VE WONDERED WHAT IT DREAMS) AND WE'RE SITTING DUCKS, THEY COULD KILL US. (I'VE WONDERED WHAT IT DREAMS) And I can't believe, that our quest for perfection, Lead us to such a mechanical demise, And as the world crumbles around us, I wonder what it dreams. We did this to ourselves, How dependent we've become. We did this to ourselves, How dependent we've become. I'VE WONDERED WHAT IT DREAMS

For All Mankind 03:40
lyrics
Verse 1: FORGOING ALL THATS NATURAL, THIS VANITY HAS SURELY PAID ITS PRICE, EVERYDAY OUR EARS AND EYES, DECEIVE US WITH MIRAGES, HOPING TO SEE AND ALWAYS HOPING TO HEAR, THE IMPOSSIBLE COME TO LIFE, CANT YOU SEE THIS SCREEN IS NOT A MIRROR, WIPING OUT ALL HUMAN ERROR, SO TERRIBLY GUIDED. Chorus: So now that we've finished, Is this what we wanted? Our quest for perfection, SO TERRIBLY GUIDED And now that we're finished, Is this how we're haunted? Abuse of selection, COULD IT BE AVOIDED, COULD IT BE AVOIDED? Verse 2: IT WAS ALL SO OBVIOUS, BETRAYED BY OUR OWN DESIRES NOW SIT BACK AND WATCH THE SCENES, THE CREATION OF A NEW EMPIRE, You cant run, From what you've wanted all along, WANTING LIFE TO BE BLISSFUL, THIS IGNORANCE THAT YOU WISHED FOR SO TERRIBLY GUIDED. Chorus: So now that we've finished, Is this what we wanted? Our quest for perfection, SO TERRIBLY GUIDED And now that we're finished, Is this how we're haunted? Abuse of selection, COULD IT BE AVOIDED? So now that we've finished, Is this what we wantted? Our quest for perfection, so terribly guided This light at the tunnel, could never be brightened, could never be brightened.. Is this? What we wanted? Is this? HOW WE'RE HAUNTED? THE WAY WE LIVED, WAS NEVER QUITE WHAT YOU WANTED SO WE CHANGED OUR WAYS, GAVE INTO WHAT WAS TAUNTING WELL I'VE BEEN AROUND THE WORLD TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE WAS FLAUNTING, ON RETURN, WROTE IN MY JOURNAL: "I FOUND NOTHING THAT'S WORTH NOTING" Chorus

The World Renowned 04:03
lyrics
And you can take what's left Verse 1: TAKE IT ALL, I DON'T CARE Learn from this, WHAT REMAINS IS ALL I HAVE, AND I CANT STAND THE SIGHT OF YOU Time wont cure TIME WONT CURE Is this what we've been praying for? AND I KNOW... THAT SOMEWHERE... WE LOST CONTROL... Chorus: And I know, that somewhere we lost all hope, SO GO AND TAKE YOUR THRONE, THIS WORLD IS YOURS But we'll watch it burn like, wildfire, BURN IT ALL, BURN IT ALL. Verse 2: AND YOU KNOW, THAT YOU'RE GUILTY, AND THIS IS ALL YOUR RETRIBUTION, THIS GENOCIDE, BRINGS YOU PRIDE, AND YOU'RE FILTHY WITH THE BLOOD OF GOD'S CREATIONS x2 Chorus NOW TELL ME HOW THIS WILL END, NOW TELL ME HOW THIS WORLD WILL END. NOW TELL ME HOW THIS WILL END, IT WILL END IN CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION.
