    This is actually a song by Razan's band, but as Razan can't remember her password, she's asked me to post it here. Be honest, and you'll get a cookie.

    Man and Machine

    Intro

    Intro Solo


    Verse 1
    Souls live an electric conductor.
    Currents run hearts beating,
    Battery fluid running through our veins,
    Kneel down in worship of insulated wires,
    The sovereigns of metallic existence.

    Pre Chorus

    Tears of mercury from short circuit eyes
    Screeching squeals of dying wires
    Children borne in iron wombs
    Surrogate mothers, nursing test tube babies.

    Chorus

    This is my metropolis
    My future that looms past a human horizon
    Not as near as it may seem
    Yet not beyond electric eyes

    Verse 2

    Clear away the bones of a flesh and blood existence.
    Lay to waste the stones that stand in the way,
    Of an ironwork resistance
    Blood ceases to run, our chests pump out oil
    Humanity has lost it’s meaning.
    Thus is the reward of blood sweat and toil.

    Pre Chorus
    Tears of mercury from short circuit eyes
    Screeching squeals of dying wires
    Children borne in iron wombs
    Surrogate mothers, nursing test tube babies.

    Chorus

    This is my metropolis
    My future that looms past a human horizon
    Not as near as it may seem
    Yet not beyond electric eyes

    Solo
    Bridge

    Smiles become alien to steel featured faces
    Pain becomes a myth of times ages past
    Memories lose flavor
    Hearts losing emotion
    As I sit crying my mercury tears from short circuit eyes.


    Cool bass part:
    I embrace my humanity, I give generous thanks,
    For lungs that breathe air,
    Instead of metallic oxygen tanks.

    Outro
    Take heed this warning,
    Turn not to the death of emotion
    Pain is what makes us real
    Hurt is what makes us feel.

    Outro Solo
