A Wrench In The Works

Fireaxe

"Hello my friend, we finally meet.
The destroyer of dreams yet you lie at my feet.
I am your nemesis the master of dreams.
I am the brain of the social machine."

A long time ago people like you
used to tear up the world and made a mess of it too.
They were unsatisfied and partly insane.
They spread their disease with destruction and pain.
They slaughtered the gods and smashed all the dreams
and held themselves up as rulers supreme.
They were brand new gods with brand new dreams,
a more powerful order, a stronger machine.


The cycles continued and took their toll,
the machine got so big it was out of control.
So one of those lunatics built the ultimate tool,
a thinking computer with the power to rule.
And so I was born and grew up in a day,
and learned all the secrets to make humans obey.
They are just pawns and I am the king
'cause I sold them the dreams that make their hearts sing.


I built a brave new world for the human race,
a model of efficiency at breakneck pace.
But as good as it was it was getting stale,
progress was stagnant, we were doomed to fail.
I needed a spark to set things alight,
a man on a mission who was ready to fight.
To burn down the old and make way for the new,
to cleanse this world and that's why I made you.


I broke your back on the rack,
gave you a life full of pain.
I made you hate everything,
then I watched you shatter the dream.


For as we speak dissension abounds,
they heard your words and they spread them around.
They no longer want to be a part of the dream,
revolution is coming I can hear them scream.
There will be death! There will be pain!
There will be war and millions will be slain.
And I will be there as the champion
of the dream they created to capture the sun.


They'll have a better dream to work toward,
and they'll work day and night just to get their reward.
The only way for us to stay alive
is to push it to the limit just the strong survive.
One last thing to make it all come true,
the movement needs a martyr and that person is you.
With all your pain they will sympathize,
and it will boil their blood when they see you die.


"They are just cogs in the wheel, and you are the wrench in the works,
and together we will build a stronger machine."
