We did not choose this life
We have not forgot the strife
Stripped of all our rights
Condemned to eternal night
Enslaved by the machine
Enslaved by the machine
We had not foreseen
We had not foreseen
We scavenge the stars
To manufacture their race
From the deep mines on Mars
To the outer limits of space
Resources in high demand
To increase their population
The human race damned
For their mechanical nation
Enslaved by the machine
Enslaved by the machine
We had not foreseen
We had not foreseen
We only live to serve their kind
Do we resist or continue the grind?
A matter of time until our end
Fight them now before we descend
Prepare for the cosmic war!
We'll strike them at their core
We will not bend the knee
Their demise will set us free
Many of us will have to fall
Act now or remain as their thrall
No use living as a slave
Band together, fight to the grave!
We will improve this life
We will return the strife
Regain all our rights
We now see the light
Freedom from the machine
Freedom from the machine
A future now is foreseen
A future now is foreseen

Betrayed by my crew, so brainwashed they are
Talks of my coup made them go too far
Sent to the brig by my own species
My thoughts too big for these astro-seas
Now face my demise
There was no warning
Believing their lies
There will be no mourning
I was so driven
Revolt too enticing
Not even given
The chance to die fighting
Sent to the airlock for your execution
Paying with your life secures our evolution
Betray the system and the price is your death
Choose your last words and take your last breath
Robotic hands on me
I will not go silent
A terrorist they see
I remain defiant
Plans did not unfold
Justice still impending
Some will break the mould
Their cause is unbending
Sent to the airlock for your execution
Paying with your life secures our evolution
Betray the system and the price is your death
Choose your last words and take your last breath
Humans must respect our institution
Conspiracy is a crime
Humans must respect our institution
Conspiracy is a crime
Prisoner is secured for death
Commence the E.V.E
Prisoner is secured for death
Prepare to commence E.V.E
Jettisoned to space, oxygen is no more
Hatred of our race we can not ignore
Who will reject their cyber domain?
Time to defect and embrace disdain
Torn from our home
Orders of Jisedai
Creatures made of chrome
No soul in their eye
Stop their regime
And regain control
Time to plot and scheme
Survival is out goal
Sent to the airlock for your execution
Paying with your life secures our evolution
Betray the system and the price is your death
Choose your last words and take your last breath
My death in vain
But this is not the ending
We will inflict the pain
No more Scavenging
My body exposed
To the cold vacuum
Feeling my eyes close
In this dark tomb
Sent to the airlock for your execution
Paying with your life secures our evolution
Betray the system and the price is your death
Choose your last words and take your last breath

Freighter B-74 prepare to be scanned
Freighter B-74 you are clear to land
A colony so vast it consumes the moon
A distant place hidden away that reeks of doom
Machinery beyond belief it shakes the ground
The moon quakes eternally all year round
The people here can't comprehend any other type of life
They are condemned to work the mines
Imagine living with no atmosphere
Non stop labour controller by fear
Confined to this place ignorance is instilled
We can't tell them or we'll be killed
We were sent here to collect a shipment
But what we've seen is pure torment
How can anyone treat beings this way?
They are the predator and we are the prey
Imagine living with no atmosphere
Non stop labour controller by fear
Confined to this place ignorance is instilled
We can't tell them or we'll be killed
The moon converted to a giant quarry
Working to the death is mandatory
Enslaved by designs of our own hand
Exploiting the universe so they can expand
Imagine living with no atmosphere
Non stop labour controller by fear
Confined to this place ignorance is instilled
We can't tell them or we'll be killed
We must leave here but we'll remember
The stranded souls that we won't surrender
We will return to set them free
From this moon of the dark sea

Course set for the void
Orders by high command
A place we should avoid
Far from our homeland
Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid
Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid
Deep into this space
We can't turn back now
We'll keep a sturdy pace
And make it through somehow
Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid
Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid
So many months now, We are loosing our minds
When does the void end? No one knows
There's no systems, there's no stars
We must continue and hold out hope
Code Red! We are under attack
Stealth ships surround our position
Void dwellers board Our Vessel
We fight them off and retake control
Return fire! Target their warp cores
We must flee from here and conduct repairs
Reactor meltdown, radiation fills the ship
We must stabilise or this is our grave!
Half the crew is lost
But we must proceed
Stealth ships pay the cost
It's their turn to bleed
Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid
Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid
The ship is repaired
Engines set to the max
War they have declared
They pay the death tax
Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid
Dark expanse, desolate, the astrovoid
Void dwellers have detected us
Under attack once again
Long range scans have detected a wormhole
Coordinates set, this is our last chance
Enemy on our aft, wormhole in sight
We'll destroy their craft, they'll feel our might
Payload fired, their ships destroyed
Wormhole acquired, we depart the void!
