Voices From The Fuselage – Machina lyrics

Retribution in blood
Prepare yourself for the flood

Make your choice
I know it's hard for you
Take this hand
If it doesn't scare you

If all we needed was peace
Then why is my world history?
If all we needed was peace
Then why have you rescued me?
Take me back to where I came
And drop me down into the flames
Take me back to where I die
The longest route, the highest sky

I was the loner with no other
(Unlucky, unlucky in love)
I was the boy pushed in the corner
(Unlucky, unlucky in life)
Until you swept me from that pain
Until you took me to this place
Well I... needed a change
A change to dissipate...

And then you suddenly admit you have not had
My best interests at heart and I'm a pawn in your myriad of games
Shifting you out of frame
But will you stand to take the blame?
I'm holding onto an ideal of you that no
Longer lives to tell me the tale that you are not my foe

I have to let it go
Cause I'm fractured if I don't
I will see you on your throne
And I'll raise you from the stone
So many faces gone, so many lives lost
You'll stand accused for what your work has cost

If all we needed was peace
Then why is my world history?
If all we needed was peace
Then why have you rescued me?
Take me back to where I came
And drop me down into the flames
Take me back to where I die
The longest route, the highest sky

See me lay before you as a victim of your crimes
Hold me as accountable as you would be for mine
I'm drifting off into the atmosphere and I return to my skyline

I was the loner with no other
(Unlucky, unlucky in love)
I was the boy pushed in the corner
(Unlucky, unlucky in life)
Until you swept me from that pain
Until you took me to this place
Well I... needed a change

Welcome a world turned upside down
Machines are conscious
Do you know the truth, do you know the truth? No
The truth is that you're damned if you do
Ignorance, ignorance is bliss
When will you notice?
We are not alone, we are not alone, no
Look up to the skies and hear the drone
