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

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.
