Lyrics
In the New Age of Machines
In the era dominated by technology
We gathered again
People have come together once more
Following army routines
Adhering to military procedures
Collecting men and women
Gathering both men and women
We develop weapons
Creating weapons
To get rid of the enemy
To eliminate the enemy
While we ask the heavens
While seeking divine intervention
For total supremacy
For absolute dominance
Restore the balance!
Emphasizing the need to restore equilibrium
Restore the balance!
Repetition for emphasis
Acid rain will wash the tears down from our face
Describing the destructive impact of acid rain
And wash away all the disgrace
To cleanse away shame and disgrace
Just before we go insane
Just before succumbing to madness
WE GO INSANE
Reiteration of the impending insanity
The world hasn't changed anything
Asserting that the world remains unchanged
We always want what isn't ours
Human nature's desire for what is not rightfully theirs
Misplaced beliefs in our own strength
Belief in one's strength has led to misplaced priorities
Has faded the truth from us
The truth has been obscured by these misguided beliefs
Restore the balance!
Reiteration of the plea to restore balance
Restore the balance!
Repetition for emphasis
Acid rain will wash the tears down from our face
Reiterating the impact of acid rain to cleanse disgrace
And wash away all the disgrace
Emphasizing the purification through rain
Just before we go insane
Warning of the approaching madness
WE GO INSANE
Reiteration of the impending insanity
Mindless
Describing the populace as thoughtless
Gears of War
Reference to the dehumanizing nature of war
Madness
Depicting a state of madness
Comes before
Madness precedes
Soulless
Characterizing the endeavor as soulless
Endeavour
Endless pursuit of ignorance
The endless depths of ignorance
Highlighting the depths of societal unawareness
We eat the shit from the news
Metaphorically consuming biased news
As we want to believe,
Desire to believe in the information presented
Consume like never before
Excessive consumption and relief from it
And breathe with a sigh of relief
Linking contemporary issues with a sigh of relief
In the New Age of Machines
Reiteration of the setting in the era of machines
Following army routines
Continuation of following military routines
