Lost Machine Songtext
von Voivod

Lost machine, giant maze
Big engine, cruising space
Ozone years, controlled daze
Keeps the engine running

Silver beams, analyze
Robot teams, supervise
That was then, this is now
It must run anyhow

Don′t you try to know why
We can't talk, close that door

My father remembers
Grandfather remembers
Patching holes in the sky
It′s running all the time

I can tell, this is hell
No one talks, no one talks


One day will we understand
How much the future is here right now?
One day will they understand?
How true, the future is here and how

One day will we understand
How much the future is here right now?
One day will they understand?
How true, the future is here and how

Remain silent, remain silent, remain silent
Remain silent, remain silent, remain silent
Remain silent, remain silent, remain silent
Remain silent, remain silent, remain silent

Lost machine, giant maze
Big engine, cruising space
Ozone years, controlled daze
Keeps the engine running

Lost machine, never fails
3-D screen, one message
Keep working, generate
It's the same everyday

Don't you try to know why
I can′t talk, close that door


One day will we understand
How much the future is here right now?
One day will they understand?
How true, the future is here and how

One day will we understand
How much the future is here right now?
One day will they understand?
How true, the future is here and how

My father gave me a small stone
That he received from his father, this stone
Was brought from earth by our early ancestors
Over 300 years ago since the machine started working

Our mission, my mission to reach central control
And throw it into some vital part of the main engine
And blow the precious generator, I do not want to
Have to pass this down to my own son
