Timelessness Lyrics by Fear Factory

Obsolete

1998

[Intro: Mario Savio]
There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart that you can't take part!
You can't even passively take part!
And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus -- and you've got to make it stop!
And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it -- that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all!

[Verse: Burton C. Bell]
I've felt darkness
Closing in on me
Chilling shadows
Surrounding me

I've had the poison
Leak into my skin
And it corroded
My heart away

Bled away
Cut away
Dark night of my soul
Dark night of my soul
Dark night of my soul
Dark night of my soul

[Outro: Mario Savio]
And you've got to make it stop!
And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it -- that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all!
