Artifice

The first revolution brought the age of the machine With wonders unimagined and miracles unseen Launched on a path of alteration We shaped the world anew We set the wheels in motion What else might we do? Change the world with marvellous solutions Change the world amazing evolution Change the world make your contribution Change the world industrial revolution The second revolution brought computers to the fore The world changed again and unbalanced the score We lit a fire that won't stop burning We can't stop what we've unleashed The wheels just keep on turning I feel they're going to roll right over me Change the world with marvellous solutions Change the world amazing evolution Change the world make your contribution Change the world industrial revolution The third revolution taught the machines to think But they put profits above all, and brought us to the brink They call it machine learning And now it's running free The wheels just keep on turning I fear they're going to roll right over me Change the world with ill-conceived solutions Change the world with wealth consolidation Change the world with poison and pollution Change the world industrial revolution

We are cogs in the machine We play our part with every turn We are components in the line Our work is never done Earning wages day by day Honest work for honest pay Labouring for hours so long Working fingers to the bone Making things we'll never use Welding joins and turning screws They just keep coming one by one And our job is never done We are cogs in the machine We play our part with every turn We are components in the line Our work is never done The new design Is improved and refined It saves so much time And it's so much cheaper I'll change the scene I'll invest in machines And not human beings They're just slower and weaker Earning wages day by day Honest work for honest pay One of us for each machine Fewer than there would have been We are cogs in the machine We play our part with every turn We are components in the line Our work is never done We're cogs in the machine But they're shutting down the line The lights are going out Where can we turn this time?

The sky is grey and heavy clouds soar It's the rainy day we never planned for Where can we turn in worsening weather? A storm is coming and we have no shelter Discarded; we're cast aside They turned us out; access denied Rejected; we've been betrayed They took everything and threw us away We find ourselves in a desolate wasteland Tossed out with the trash into barren sand We're destitute and all our hopes are crushed Everything crumbles and turns to dust Discarded; we're cast aside They turned us out; access denied Rejected; we've been betrayed They took everything and threw us away They made us redundant and took our jobs Left us with nothing like stray, mangy dogs They took our prospects; they took our dreams Abandoned us and turned to machines Discarded; we're cast aside They turned us out; access denied Rejected; we've been betrayed They took everything and threw us away

The less you have to start the more that I will take from you The more support you need the less that I will care for you All that you have will be mine Surrounded by this poverty and failed society I have established my realm: queen of all that I survey Diamond City in the grime Here in the ruins I built my domain Soon everyone will know my name Give and take (from you to me) You give, I take (How it must be) Give and take You give, I take All around me I can see lives lived in poverty But I don't care as long as it is not affecting me Turn away and close the blind Behind these walls it is a very different life for me Inside this tower I can live a life of luxury Out of sight and out of mind Here in the ruins I raised myself up It's tough at the bottom but not at the top Give and take (from you to me) You give, I take (How it must be) Give and take You give, I take Acquisition of more wealth Confiscate it for myself All objections are ignored Give up your treasures for my hoard I'm just harvesting the land Submit and fill my grasping hands You are the fallen but see how I've risen I am deserving of all I've been given Give and take (from you to me) You give, I take (How it must be) Give and take You give, I take

My beautiful daughter I hate to see you so weak and gasping for breath This cruel disease that we can't treat Hastening your too-early death I'd do anything for you To bring you back to health If there was anything I could do I would send all my strength But it's not enough There's a man roaming the wilderness He once was a doctor, now he's a wanderer But still I believe he can help us He once was a healer; Some things never change; never change I'll do anything if you Can bring her back to health You can take anything I can give I'll pay you all my wealth If that's what it takes Please come in from the wilderness I fear that she's failing, deteriorating Say you can heal her; say you can help Say it's not too late; that it'll be alright; be alright

Surrounded by dust, we live in poverty We worked to give them everything Worked our fingers to their weary bones Our gruelling efforts raised them up And from on high they let us down When they moved on they left us behind Alone and abandoned; out of sight, out of mind It's time to make our presence felt It's time to tear down all they've built Rise! Stand up for your rights Fight for your freedom Take back what was stolen from us Rise! Get ready to fight They say that it's treason But our rebellion is just The blood that we shed outweighs the inequality We gave them everything we had They took it all and gave nothing back Now we've a debt we must repay From this low point we must attack Embezzlers and hoarders rising through tyranny Brought destitution through shameless gluttony Dissent will grow into mutiny Meet venality with insurgency Rise! Stand up for your rights Fight for your freedom Take back what was stolen from us Rise! Get ready to fight They say that it's treason But our rebellion is just These self-indulgent capitalists with their decadent ways Have a debt to pay They've fed our rage with their betrayal We despise them and all they are We'll rise in civil war Rise! Stand up for your rights Fight for your freedom Take back what was stolen from us Rise! Get ready to fight They say that it's treason But our rebellion is just We despise them and all they are We'll rise in civil war

The price of rebellion must be too high For anyone to willingly pay The insurrection must be neutralised Never to rise again We'll make it spectacular; kick up a storm Aim to intimidate; raise the alarm Marshall all our forces and stand ready Let them see our army is immense Give them time to contemplate how deadly Before we start the assault; a show of strength Display our weapons before the condemned Show our superiority The magnitude will overwhelm them They'll acknowledge our authority We'll raise an iron fist; show them our power I want them demoralised; I want them to cower I want them doubting their defences It doesn't matter that they're entrenched I want them to fear they won't see their next breath Tremble before our show of strength We'll make it spectacular; kick up a storm Aim to intimidate; raise the alarm Marshall all our forces and stand ready Let them see our army is immense Give them time to contemplate how deadly Before we start the assault; a show of strength

Devastating war machines All around the town Here to tear the place apart Burn it to the ground Stop the blitzkrieg Man the walls Hold the attack at bay Face the onslaught and be brave Turn the tide away They come to destroy: these giant droids They bring death to our door We… we must defend fight to the end Fight to protect our homes They come like a storm to do us harm Like bitter wind they roar We must stand and fight against their might Against these endless drones Endless drones These endless drones Against these endless drones Call to arms… Call to arms… Call to arms… This is a call to arms They come to devour to show their power To break our righteous cause We… we will stand guard we will fight hard We know our cause is just They would subjugate spread fear and hate They won't stop; they won't pause We… must take our gear sell our lives dear Until we are turned to dust Turned to dust Turned to dust Turned to dust Call to arms… Call to arms… Call to arms… This is a call to arms Face the threat of the vicious contraptions Stop their attack Stand firm at the fortifications And don't fall back Call to arms… Call to arms… Call to arms… This is a call to arms

As the sun sinks below the horizon Blood reflection on the sand The tide of battle isn't turning back And soon we'll all be drowned A long dark night is coming I think we're approaching the end Hope is fading quickly now How can we defend against this doom? Blood runs cold on wasted ground Oil runs hot and rainbow slick Bones break and metal bends Blood and oil: the two don't mix All around the smoke is rising Flames are reaching for the sky Terrible death and destruction Surrounding me A long, dark night is coming We might not see the dawn Hope is long forgotten Faded like the sun Blood runs cold on wasted ground Oil runs hot and rainbow slick Bones break and metal bends Blood and oil: the two don't mix Blood runs cold on wasted ground Oil runs hot and rainbow slick Bones break and metal bends Blood and oil: the two don't mix

I'm under fire Won't you stop the guns? My life's in danger Shelter me from the bombs I never saw what was coming Never thought they were so strong Covering fire hiding me as I run into the night Ducking low from cover to cover staying out sight Darkness can be my friend It stays with me til the end Under fire deliver me from the bombs Under fire lead me from these deadly drums So take my hand Show me the plan Lead me where we can be safe Under fire The line of fire redrawn above my head they're getting close Searching still fast as I can for a safe outpost Hunted through the night Desperately staying out of sight Under fire deliver me from the bombs Under fire lead me from these deadly drums So take my hand Show me the plan Lead me where we can be safe Under fire How'd it ever come to this? Fleeing from our homes like this? How'd we get it all so wrong? Our enemies get so strong? The world's on fire There's no way it can be tamed The temperature's rising Rescue me from the flames We can't keep on fighting But where can we flee? Under fire deliver me from the bombs Under fire lead me from these deadly drums So take my hand Show me the plan Lead me where we can be safe Under fire

We never saw it coming Their strike was fast and stunning This foe is far beyond us The tide has turned against us Against this threat we have no answer Our only chance is to run for cover Into the darkness we go Seeking shelter in the unknown Into the darkness descend Search for a place that we can defend below The doors are closed behind us We just hope they won't find us We've found a buried fortress Asylum in the darkness We pay for our lives with our freedom We're confined to this mausoleum Into the darkness we go Seeking shelter in the unknown Into the darkness descend Search for a place that we can defend below We left the threat behind Out of sight, out of mind Stay hidden underground And hope we're never found Into the darkness we go Seeking shelter in the unknown Into the darkness descend Search for a place that we can defend below

Gone from us never to return Our memories are strong, they'll not be forgotten Whatever tomorrow brings, we'll take today to mourn We'll remember them and sing our song for the fallen We faced our enemies and we desperately fought But the tide was too strong and the battle was lost We escaped with our lives when so many did not We will live on, but we've paid such a cost Our ill-fated friends and family They met their ends most bravely We feel this pain most keenly But we will honour their memory Gone from us never to return Our memories are strong, they'll not be forgotten Whatever tomorrow brings, we'll take today to mourn We'll remember them and sing our song for the fallen We faced our enemies and we desperately fought But the tide was too strong and the battle was lost We escaped with our lives when so many did not We will live on, but we've paid such a cost Our ill-fated friends and family They met their ends most bravely We feel this pain most keenly But we will honour their memory Gone from us never to return Our memories are strong, they'll not be forgotten Whatever tomorrow brings, we'll take today to mourn We'll remember them and sing our song for the fallen

We've got them on the back foot Overwhelmed and outgunned Shell-shocked and stunned We should press our advantage We should take the kill shot Unleash the onslaught They're falling back - sound the advance And as they flee we'll take the chance Press our advantage and take their lands We'll overcome their last stand Sound the advance! Look across this empty land We should take this chance to expand The territory they've abandoned They're falling back - sound the advance And as they flee we'll take the chance Press our advantage and take their lands We'll overcome their last stand Sound the advance!

The enemy's closing in Our homes are under threat Supplies running low We're tortured and beset There's nothing to lose now Nothing to lose Our backs in a corner So we must choose War machine, start the war machine Loose the dogs of war War machine, start the war machine This is the moment we built it for The enemy's circling Preparing to attack Nowhere left to hide So we must fight back We're facing a crisis It's life or death So I choose to fight Until my last breath War machine, start the war machine Loose the dogs of war War machine, start the war machine This is the moment we built it for We're cogs in the war machine And we play our parts with guns We're fighting for our lives We'll face the danger down We're cogs in the war machine And we play our parts with guns Marching together in line Onwards to our doom We've something to fight for We've something to fight for We're making a stand We're making a stand We're ready to march to war We're ready to march to war To take back our lands To take back our lands

They've got the machines They've got the big guns But we've got them outnumbered A hundred to one We are rising up We will face them down The tide is turning And soon they will drown They thought their weapons made them strong Now we will prove them wrong They thought the conflict could only go one way They thought they would easily win the day But as our forces and the enemy collide The weight of numbers is on our side They've got the big machines They've got the big guns But it still seems Their judgement day comes We're taking them down They're out for the count Now fate is with us And we're gaining ground They thought their high walls were secure I wouldn't be so sure They thought the conflict could only go one way They thought they would easily win the day But as our forces and the enemy collide The weight of numbers is on our side They thought it would be easy They thought we had no chance But our greater numbers Are driving our advance They thought the conflict could only go one way They thought they would easily win the day But as our forces and the enemy collide The weight of numbers is on our side

I don't believe that numbers will be enough That's not the advantage that we need Our greater numbers will just mean more deaths Unless we can find something else There must be a move that we can play To tip the odds our way I don't believe they are all powerful I'm sure there must be a way we can win A weakness that they haven't noticed A failing in their grand design They're dependant on their generators Vulnerable to infiltrators Place some bombs just right And we could end the fight We'll strike at the source of their power And we'll change the course of the battle We'll turn out the lights And leave them in darkness Cut off the power And leave them defenceless The robots need to charge They have to power the alarms The spotlights will go dark The defences will go down We'll strike at the source of their power And we'll change the course of the battle We'll turn out the lights And leave them in darkness Cut off the power And leave them defenceless

Blood red sky as a new day dawns The war is won but the fight goes on The enemy is overwhelmed It's much too late for them to repent They're on their knees but our rage isn't spent We have passed judgement and condemned The decades of pain are at an end The hammer of justice will descend The concussions shaking the ground I'm on as the bombs begin to fall Detonations breaking apart the strongest walls The explosions lighting up the night sky as the town begins to burn We enjoy the devastation of it all The blood red mist is in all our eyes We take revenge on those whom we despise The slaughter is out of control And anybody who still survives We'll put to work the rest of their lives Punishment without parole Decades of pain to come for you All of your nightmares will come true The concussions shaking the ground I'm on as the bombs begin to fall Detonations breaking apart the strongest walls The explosions lighting up the night sky as the town begins to burn We enjoy the devastation of it all They were an infection Decades long affliction Cauterise and cleanse the wound This is medication Full eradication Burn 'til all contagion's consumed 'Til all they built is ruined Decades of pain are at an end All of the years will be avenged The concussions shaking the ground I'm on as the bombs begin to fall Detonations breaking apart the strongest walls The explosions lighting up the night sky as the town begins to burn We enjoy the devastation of it all

They raised themselves up on our breaking backs The reached for the stars while we slipped through the cracks From these great heights they’ve fallen hard Now it’s their turn to be discarded Our merciless masters; our formers tormentors The mighty have fallen ; no mercy; no pardon Our domination means their subjugation All wealth reapportioned; reversal of fortune Their reign of terror has come to an end They fell from the heavens and crashed to the ground There can be no atoning for what they have done We’ll see their world torn asunder They’ve fallen from grace, we’ve made them our slaves It’s our turn to rise; it’s our turn to fly Our liberation and emancipation Our retribution; reversal of fortune
