The Reckoning
Carmine Rebellion
When there’s nowhere left to turn
That is when you finally learn
TWhen there’s nothing else to do
TYou bite the hand that doesn’t feed you
TWhen they’ve taken everything
TFurther blows just lose their sting
TWhen there’s nothing left to lose
TThat is when you finally choose
To stand up and say "no more"
To tear down everything that came before
This is your reckoning and you will be judged
Your reckoning and we bear a grudge
This is your reckoning and it’s time to pay
It’s your reckoning and we’ll get revenge today
For too long your control’s been absolute
For too long we have been irresolute
When there’s nowhere left to turn
It’s time to let the world burn
These things you’ve done we can’t ignore
We’ll draw a line and say “no more”
No longer will we just conform
We’ll stand before the coming storm
We’re left with nothing more to lose
Now you’ve driven us to choose
To make a stand and not give in
To take you down or die trying
This is your reckoning and you will be judged
Your reckoning and we bear a grudge
This is your reckoning and it’s time to pay
It’s your reckoning and we’ll get revenge today
For too long your control’s been absolute
For too long we have been irresolute
We’re destitute; We are bereft
Our lives are all that we have left
We’ve nothing that is worth protecting
So prepare for your reckoning
This is your reckoning and you will be judged
Your reckoning and we bear a grudge
This is your reckoning and it’s time to pay
It’s your reckoning and we’ll get revenge today
For too long your control’s been absolute
For too long we have been irresolute

Over And Over
Carmine Rebellion
Everything that's happening seems familiar
I feel I've seen this all before
If I want to predict the future
I can just look into the past
Why can't we ever agree?
Why can we never break free?
Over and over
Over and over again
Ever repeating the same mistakes; we don't learn
Over and over
Over and over again
Ever repeating the same mistakes; we don't learn
History repeats in the end
Another battle in another war
Another out to tune refrain
It's not predestined, just predictable
Another cycle just the same
Another story retold
There's lessons to learn but we don't
Over and over
Over and over again
Ever repeating the same mistakes; we don't learn
Over and over
Over and over again
Ever repeating the same mistakes; we don't learn
History repeats in the end
Over and over
Over and over again
Ever repeating the same mistakes; we don't learn
Over and over
Over and over again
Ever repeating the same mistakes; we don't learn
History repeats in the end

Spare Parts
Carmine Rebellion
I was grown in a lab and I’ve lived in a cage
Mostly alone and ignored
Biding my time and wasting my rage
Until my inevitable reward
How can it be
That I am just property
Of another me?
Who would condone
Creating a clone
For spares of flesh and bone?
I'm made for you
You paid them to
I’m eyes and lungs and hearts for you
I live for you
I'll die for you
I am just spare parts for you
I was made not born and I’ve grown not lived
Never escaping this jail
My life was contrived and my freedom deprived
But I know that her will must prevail
How can it be
That I am just property
Of another me?
Used and abused
Unable to choose
No chance to refuse
I'm made for you
You paid them to
I’m eyes and lungs and hearts for you
I live for you
I'll die for you
I am just spare parts for you
I'm kept and controlled
I can’t break her hold
I was given no choice
Given no voice at all
I'm made for you
You paid them to
I’m eyes and lungs and hearts for you
I live for you
I'll die for you
I am just spare parts for you

Cold Machines

Stand by… processing your request
This bar shows our progress
95 percent and then halt
Please wait… we're searching for your name
But its not spelt the same
Please accept this isn’t our fault
Selling out sell our souls
Cold machines take control
We take the world and reshape it in their image
Make it work for them not us
We break the world, conform it to their demands
Make ourselves superfluous
Wake up the robots never sleep
Into our lives they creep
They are no longer optional
Back up you're becoming distressed
And please don't be depressed
That would be suboptimal
Empathy is not condoned
Cold machines take control
We take the world and reshape it in their image
Make it work for them not us
We break the world, conform it to their demands
Make ourselves superfluous
Their logic's replacing our wisdom
Until we're just the bugs in the system
We take the world and reshape it in their image
Make it work for them not us
We break the world, conform it to their demands
Make ourselves superfluous

I collected a lot of musical ideas while I was working on Artifice, and there were some that just didn't make it onto the album. It's not because they were bad - I actually really liked some of them. So I combed through the folder and picked out a few favourites. With a bit more work to finish them off, I had an EP of Spare Parts.
