Machines of Our Disgrace

"I heard you're rather famous on Earth."
- "Well, I'd say, my fame has reached the stars!"
- "Then let me give you a bit of advice. Here among the stars it is better not to be quite so cocky."

Paralyzing, elixir of contempt
Overriding sobriety's attempt
A narcissism we so eagerly embrace
Smile as we assemble the machines of our disgrace

"The people surrendered their liberties and threw away their human dignity."

Submission without a fight
Corrosion, mind parasite

Metastasizing in such a willing host
The real disease has been misdiagnosed
Dehumanizing and difficult to face
We've built our own destruction, the machines of our disgrace

"The people surrendered their liberties and threw away their human dignity."

Submission without a fight
Corrosion, mind parasite
Parasite

"You arrive here at a critical moment."
"Galaxy M12, year 2116"

Mind parasite

"Government of the people, by the people, for the people"
"Government of the people, by the people, for the people"

Submission without a fight ("by the people, for the people")
Corrosion, mind parasite ("by the people, for the people")
"Shall not perish from the Earth"
"They gave up their lives to individual human beings"
Submission, corrosion, mind parasite

"Let me give you a bit of advice."
