Voivod - The Lost Machine lyrics

Lost machine, giant maze
Big engine, cruising space ozone years
Controlled daze keeps the engine running

Silver beams, analyze robot teams, supervise
That was then, this is now it must run anyhow

Don't you try, to know why
We can't talk, close that door

My father, remembers grand-father, remembers
Patching holes
In the sky it's running all of the time

I can tell, this is hell
No one talks, no one talks
One day will we understand
How much the future is here right now?
One day will they understand
How true the future is here, and how!

Remain silent

Lost machine, never fails
3-D screen, one message
Keep working, generate it's the same everyday

Don't you try, to know why
I can't talk, close that door

My father gave me a small stone that
He received from his father this
Stone was brought from earth by our
Early ancestors over 3OO years ago
Since the machine started working
Our mission my mission, to reach
Central control and throw it into some
Vital part of the main engine
And blow the precious generator i do not
Want to have to pass this down to my own son
