Slave to the Machine Lyrics by Killswitch Engage

Disarm the Descent (Special Edition)

2013

[Verse 1]
Back from the dead this is the final calling
Hands grip the throat of the system
Against the grain
No more waiting for a change

[Pre-Chorus]
Refuse to kneel
Wallowing and choking on this force fed sanity

[Chorus]
This is the final calling, feeding us apathy
Bow down and serve your master the new machine

[Bridge 1]
Fall into illusion
Lost in this false reality
White noise and confusion
Enslaved to the new machine

[Verse 2]
Beneath the haze, a spirit we should not contain
This life, the blood that flows within our veins
Change
Arise from your slumber

[Pre-Chorus]
Refuse to kneel
Wallowing and choking on this force fed sanity

[Chorus]
This is the final calling, feeding us apathy
Bow down and serve your master the new machine

[Bridge 2]
I refuse to bow down
I refuse to bow down to this system
The new machine’s conquering, fused into our blood stream
I refuse

[Chorus]
This is the final calling (calling), feeding us apathy (apathy)
Bow down and serve your master the new machine
