Voivod – The Lost Machine Lyrics

Rock

Lost Machine

Lost machine, dying rays
Big engine, cruising space
Hold on years, count on days
Keep the engine running
Silver beams, atom lights
Robot team, super right
That was then, this is now
It was fun anyhow

Don't you try
To know why
We can't talk
Close that door, yeah

My father remembers
Grandfather remembers
Punching holes in the sky
It was fun anyhow

I can't tell
This is hell
We 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, anyhow?
One day, will we understand
How much the future is here, right now?
One day, will they understand
How true the future is here, anyhow?

We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent
We remain silent

Lost machine, dying rays
Big engine, cruising space
Hold on years, count on days
Keep the engine running
Lost machine, never fails
3D screen, one last race
Keep working, generate
It's the same everyday

Don't you try
To know why
We 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, anyhow?

One day, will we understand
How much the future is here, right now?
One day, will they understand
How true the future is here, anyhow?
My father gave me a small stone that he received from his father
This stone was brought by the father of my early ancestors
Over 300 years ago, since the machine started working
I'm on a mission, my mission
To reach the control room
And destroy the vital parts of the big machine
And blow up the precious generator
I don't want to have to pass this down to my own son
