Intro Machine


Followed by Dark Melody


Change To Up Tempo Acoustic


1st Verso


Run down the street where the glass shows that summer has gone.

Age in the doorways resenting the pace of the dawn.


All of us standing in line …

All of us waiting for time …

For time, the great healer, the Machine-messiah is born.


2nd Verso


Cables that carry the life to the cities we build.

Threads that link diamonds of life to the satanic mills!


Oh! To see it in every way!

And …

We feel it every day, and know … that

Maybe we’ll change!

Open the chance!

Finally unlock our lessons and alter our stance.


Friends make their way … into systems of chance …

Friends make their way of escape into systems of chance.


Escape to freedom … I need to be there!

Waiting and watching, the tables are turning.

I’m waiting and watching, I need to be there.


I care … to see them walk away!

And …

To be there when they … say

They …

Will …

Re-turn!


Oliver Wakeman Interlude


Chris Squire bass rift


Steve Howe instrumental


Tempo Change to Dark Melody


Change To Solemn Tempo Acoustic


Machine …

Machine-messiah.

The mindless …

Search for a higher.

Comp-troller!

Take me to the fire and hold me!

Show me the strength of your singular … eye!


Repeat Intro Machine


Change to Up Tempo


3rd Verso


History dictating symptoms of ruling romance.

Claws at the shores of the water upon which we dance.


All of us standing in line …

All of us waiting for time!

To feel it all the way …

And, to be there when they … say

They know that!


Maybe we’ll change …

Open the chance!

To finally un-lock our lessons and alter our stance.


Steve Howe Instrumental


Oliver Wakeman short interlude


Return Tempo Change to Dark Melody


Change Back To Solemn Tempo Acoustic


Again Oliver Wakeman short interlude


Machine …

Machine-messiah.

Take me … into the fire.


Oliver Wakeman short interlude final


Hold me …

Machine- messiah!

And, show me …

The strength of your singular … eye.
