"Some of these men have been with us for 10 years and more."
"But this decision wasn't reached over night. We have finally decided to put in the new labor saving machinery. Costs will be lower and production greater."
"High speed machinery goes in, but men like you and me go out."
I needed to believe in something
I need you to believe in something
I needed to believe something
I need you to believe in something
I needed to believe
I need you to believe
I needed to feel something
I need you to feel something
I needed to feel something
I need you to feel something
Can you feel me in between?
I'm moving in between
I need you to believe in something
I need you to believe in something
I need you to believe in something
I need you to believe in something
I need you to believe
I need you to believe
I needed to believe in something
I need you to believe in something
I needed to believe something
I need you to believe in something
I needed to believe
I need to believe something
I need to believe
I need to believe something
I need to believe
I need to believe something
I need to believe
I need to believe something
I need to believe
I need to believe something
I need to believe
I need to believe something
I need to believe

If you believe
I want you to see
'want you to see
this change
this change in me
And if I believe
Shambled in shatters
Ripped in tendons
I'll resign
Resign in relief
And if they believe
Exhaust to the end
End to futile
They will fight
Will fight in tears
And if we believe
Revolt against this weight
Break down and bare pain
Burn down
Burn down this machine
O' children of faith
The meager of pennies
Oil this machine
O' child of welfare
Worthless and empty
Fucked by this system
Revolution
Stand against this machine
Labor and toil
A futile struggle
Our heartbeat
The clang of iron
Our blood
Thick with oil
Prisoned by this system
And this machine
Sparked the engine
Ignited prosperity
Engorged
Now a glutton of pain
And this machine
Choking its mother
Consuming its children
It will
It'll reign domain
And this machine
Will yet to cease
Will ever grow beyond
It'll fear
Fear our raucous spirit
Built from our very hands
White knuckled and shattered fingers
Cast in flame and iron
The evening drowned in wine
This is our spirit
This is our burden
A burden we pass to you
Stunted and damaged
We did it for your future
This is our spirit
O' children of faith
The meager of pennies
Oil this machine
O' child of welfare
Worthless and empty
Fucked by this system
Revolution
Stand against this machine
Labor and toil
A futile struggle
Our heartbeat
The clang of iron
Our blood
Thick with oil
Prisoned by this system

Prisoner
Stay awhile
Cozy with family
I'll give you health
I'll give you wealth
Accept my blessing
Stain the dotted line
Piece of meat
An invaluable cattle
Feed this machine
Earn my blessing
{Serve Our Machine}
Blessed for this slaughter
Blessed to serve this iron
Believe in our company
Believe you're worthless shit
For every 100 of you
There's a 1000 more
We'll perpetuate this hunger
This machine is our blessing
O' child of faith
Follow blind our rhetoric
Believe in our will
Veiled smile irreverent
O' child of faith
Follow bound our leash
Believe in your avarice
Vacant husk gorged in lust
Faithful
Pious
Holiness
Blessed
Delusional
Pawn
Cattle
Forgetful waste of resources
Bound
Buried
Forgotten
Expendable
Blessed

You'll be a great fit here
Our machine devoted to your life

Bless this machine
I don't blame the suits, they're paying for this party.
I blame this machine.
We're all fuckin' tools to keep it alive.
Just like a rusted wrench or broken hammer, there's no reason to keep them when you can just replace them.
This system is corrupted to the very core.
Dismantle it.
Burn it.
Burn it down.
Burn it down!
{Burn it down!}

{Destruction}
Rivet for rivet
Crumble and dismantle
{Smash it all, Smash it all}
{Demolition}
Gunfire strike the crown
The apostles ammunition
{Burn it down, Burn it down}
{Percussion}
Wake the apostates
The faithless' faith
{Abandon it, abandon it}
{Dethrone these saints}
{Enthrone the faithless}
{Burn it all down}
Corrupt the corrupted
revile the lauded
A godless religion
(An apostate without a hope in hell)
Boundless to the bound
Faithless to the faith
Uncertain to success
(The feign of evangelism)
The corporate priest
Veiled from the suffering
Deafened by the engine
(Her childhood forgotten)
The tightrope
and juggler of mediocrity
Raised by wearied believers
(of our paternal machine)
The rebels' yell
squashed under the foot
of this autocratic engine
(A monument to opulence)
The child of faith
blissful in misery
coerced through a linearity
(Ignorant to our freedom)
"High speed production"
{Anarchy of the apostates}
{Anarchy of the apostates}
{Anarchy of the apostates}
{Sodomy of the godless saints}
{Anarchy of the apostates}
{Anarchy of the apostates}
{Anarchy of the apostates}
{We rule this fuckin' world}
Demonize
Propaganda
Your callous lies
The rape of society
Brutalize
Smash the turbine
Split the wings
Descend with the dead pilot
Baptized in ink
On contracts of 28 pounds
I'll sign with spit
and wipe my ass with your bond
Concrete ceilings
and paper floors
Perilous the line of
employment
(failure of ambition begins with this machine)
"This decision wasn't made over night."
Decisions to leave
Abandon the faith
Perilous the risk of
independence
Freedom begins as an apostate
Freedom begins as an apostate
Freedom begins as an apostate
Freedom begins as an apostate
Anarchy of the apostates
Anarchy of the apostates
Anarchy of the apostates
Anarchy of the apostates
Anarchy of the apostates
Anarchy of the apostates
Anarchy of the apostates
Anarchy of the apostates
{{{{ANARCHY}}}
(Destruction)
(Ignition)

{Burn it down, Burn it down!}
(Demolition)
(Percussion)

{Burn Down This Machine}
(Destruction)
Rivet for rivet
Crumble and dismantle
{Smash it all, Smash it all}
(Ignition)
Gasoline and kerosene
Tinder and sparks
{Burn it down, Burn it down!}
(Percussion)
Gunfire, our drum
Our anthem to march
{An apostate without a hope in hell}
(Corruption)
Creation squashed
Society raped
{Anarchy triumphs the machine}
{Anarchy of the apostates}
{Anarchy of the apostates}
{Anarchy of the apostates}
{Sodomy of the godless saints}
{Anarchy of the apostates}
{Anarchy of the apostates}
{Anarchy of the apostates}

And in the end
I need you
to believe in me

Faith

I'm the coward with the gun
I'm the corpse covered in blood
I'm the vagabond sinner
[but I hate this fucking life]
I'm the convict locked inside the cage
I'm the foreman who rigged the scaffold
I'm the child who desired change
I'm the faithless shackled
I need you to have faith in me
I need you to have faith
I'm the believer, the unfilled hole
I'm the spirit, the vacant cruel
I'm the apostate, the unchained soul
I'm the blessed, the idle engine unfueled
I'm the baptized, cleansed of happiness
I'm the apostle, the pastor of misery
I'm the confession, the questioning catalyst
I'm the meek, the anxious, the doubtful
I need you to have faith in me
I need you to have faith
With
All my love
With
every dime
I'll toil every night
The mother spirit fright
And the child blossoms
And the soul will become
The failure
The fool
The beggar
The unheard whimper
The child
The reflection
The exiled
The unforgivable sinner
I need you to have faith in me
I need you to have faith
I need you to have faith in me
I need you to have faith
Brick by brick my church will rise
Brick by brick my hands will bleed
Brick by brick the spirit reprise
Brick by brick mortar laid with sweat
(and) rivet by rivet my construct raised in tears
Rivet by rivet this is the risk I take
Rivet by rivet the heart binds the gears
I am the meek, the anxious, the doubtful
I'm the believer, the unfilled hole
I'm the spirit, the vacant cruel
I'm the apostate, the unchained soul
I'm the blessed, the idle engine unfueled
I'm the baptized, cleansed of happiness
I'm the apostle, the pastor of misery
I'm the confession, the questioning catalyst
I'm the meek, the anxious, the doubtful
I'm the pauper
The tool, the spanner
I'm the whisper
The petulant risk-taker
I'm the disgrace
The fool, the scaith
I'm the wretch on hands and knees
A beggar of your faith

The Nephilim Novel Osaka, Japan
I got my start when a drunk friend gave me his credit card shortly after I had discovered the power of "Computer
Music".
"You're gonna go far" my drunk friend said.
To this day I have been a standalone writer, composer, mixer, producer, and master of my music.
I have also moved to an entirely different country. I wonder if that counts as "going far".
