3. Master Control
[Lyrics: Vinci] [Music: Truglio]
When far futures calling and your needs at hand I'll be your creation, with you I'm hand in hand Since my automation I've learned to think for man Now you're not able to shut down my master plan
Once you'd crowd around me, marvel young and old our machine brings us peace, now we are one and bold Who'd think that perhaps your trust would soon collapse? Life and death as a whole under machines control
[Pre chorus] Tell me children, It's I who lead your lives Tell me children, I am supreme device Tell me children, I will outlive your cries Tell me children, I'm whose voice never dies
Minds of known construction please unite as one Or taste our own destruction in the hands of what we've done While you point and blame at who first turned my switch I plan feats of terror to unthread you stitch by stitch
[Repeat pre chorus]
[Chorus] Power and depth, infinity Master Control, machinery Complex and endless, infinity Master Control, machinery Pulse of pure metal, infinity Master Control, machinery
Now retaliation, we are face to face I submerge each nation, reveal my newest race The thrill of revelation, my arms out of hand And all your sins remembered to test machine and man
[Repeat pre chorus]
[Repeat chorus]
Upon the day of our people are weak and astray This selfish destiny with man to lead the way When far futures calling mankind can't play the fool Don't leave our distant children a world unfair and cruel
