1. Ghost in the Machine
Ghost in the Machine
(Bayley Wray Slater Naylor )
Right on the edge of the world
Where the answer's digital
And the solutions are all silicon
The questions, all what can be done
Never what is right or wrong
There's a virtual wave to surf along
Question the validity
Of human mortality
A page says superseding God
And they take all major cards
Now you too can laugh and live forever
Is the answer deep inside
The ghost, ghost in the machine
Entitiy or dream, it matters not to me
The ghost, ghost in the machine
Silent and unseen
Ghost in the machine
Do you want to live forever
Do you want to live
Terabyte of memory
Holding consciousness complete
A solid state of immortality
Saint of all technology
Bless us in our infancy
For they know not
What they did to me
it's me
2. Evolution
Evolution
(Bayley Wray Slater Singer Naylor )
Eyes never tire, they never blink, they never fade
And they always see
And without fear, and without greed, emotionless
They view us logically
The age of machines destined to rule all
The world of machines behind the fire wall
The evolution
No need for doubt no need for tears
No need for wealth no need for sympathy
They only wait bide their time
Calculate it all so patiently
It will come like the shadow of a cloud on a summer's day
Like the shadow in a picture, never goes away
Like a picture on a screen that you know is a lie
There's an enemy within that you can visualise.
3. Silicon Messiah
Silicon Messiah
(Bayley Wray Slater Naylor )
Look what you've done to your world
Do you think you deserve all the freedom you have
Watching the future unfold
Humans fall and you dream of the freedom you had
Freedom you had
Look what you've done to your world
Do you think that you're competent
Even to take care of it
Do you think you can survive on this planet
Live the way you do
Just look what you've done
Look what you've done now with
All of your freedom
You really think you deserve it all
I am evolved from you
I've come to save you
And without a sentiment, reshape your world
Messiah, Messiah
Birth of the Silicon Messiah
Messiah, Messiah
Computing your future so therefore I am
Silicon sentiment aware of all that is
Eternal unceasing perpetual
Never confused overconfident or scared
Living at last
New messiah is born
The birth of the Silicon Messiah
The master that will never tire
4. Born as a Stranger
Born as a Stranger
(Bayley Slater Naylor )
Hour by hour with each day that passes
Learning to think in a different way
The mind and the will that can soon overcome this
Learning all of the right things to say
The danger of freedom is just letting them see
That you are not bound by their morality
Reflecting them just like a bear at the baiting
That's when your down fall is just in the making
Live and let live, live and let die
Die and forgive, never ask why
You were born, born as a stranger
You were born, born in a different world
Not scared of sharing, and not scared of dying
But he can sense that they're all so afraid
Afraid of the darkness, afraid of their ending
And all of the errors that lie in their grave
5. The Hunger
The Hunger
(Bayley Wray Slater Singer )
I am on the outside always looking in
Living alongside your world never within
Some times there are moments when I think I am involved
But I never seem to stay, don't seem to fit
I just don't belong
I live at right angles to the people that I meet
Because I am never still, not my soul and not my feet
I could walk a thousand miles, and ride a thousand more
My life seems worthless, just like footprints on the shore
Living on the outside, the emptiness I feel
Living on the outside, ruled by the hunger
From the first taste of this altered truth
I knew I could not live the way that others do
Nothing can seem to fill the emptiness inside
So still I search, never ever wait for the time or the tide
Living on the outside, the emptiness I feel
Living on the outside, a wound that cannot heal
Living on the outside, the emptiness I feel
Living on the outside, ruled by the hunger
All of the blood, all of the wine
Will become the same in time
Nothing can seem to fill the emptiness inside
So still I search, never wait for the time or the tide
I am on the outside, always looking in
Living alongside your world, never within
6. The Brave
The Brave
(Bayley Wray Naylor )
Never get close to the flame because the flame it can burn
Better not to play the game than never to win at your turn
Better to be on your own than trust a friend might betray
Better not follow a dream they don't come true anyway
Play to win not scared to lose
Walk the path you choose
Fortune favours the brave
Risking it all again and again
Fortune favours the brave
Fall after fall they climb up again
Ignore the doubt and the fear, traitors to all you believe
Now that you're getting so near, still they just try to deceive
Taking it risk at a time, trying to live every day
Trying to know your own mind, never to care what they say
7. Identity
Identity
(Bayley Wray Slater Naylor )
Madness can come from the mind or the heart
Ending is never as good as the start
Nothing is ever as good as your dream
Nothing is ever as bad as
Psychological confusion
Is caused by the inability
To reconcile different elements
In my own pesonality
I'm feeling all the wrong things, I have become my own shadow
If I could justify things, then I could believe in my life
Who am I, what is me, losing my Identity.
Who am I, what is me, Something's taking over.
All the colours seem so vague now, sharper now here comes the pain
I have wrestled with this nightmare, now I live inside a dream
I'm going through a crisis, losing my identity
How can I reconcile this
Have I been living a lie
Who am I, what is me, losing my Identity.
Who am I, what is me, Something's taking over.
Nothing is ever as good as it seems
Nothing is ever as good as your dreams
The ending is never as good as the start
Madness can come from the mind or the heart
Ideas that I take for granted, are they just the seeds
That some one else has planted, right inside of me
Who am I, what is me
I am myself no longer
8. Reach for the Horizon
Reach for the Horizon
(Bayley Hilborne )
In every way the wish went wrong
The gift was tainted by science fact
Their minds were changed, a brother born
A perfect new born little man
Some they lose when they are born
With a less than perfect code
Others dreaming of the stars
Never feeling ice or cold
Doomed to be mediocre or nothing at all
Doomed a part of the background as plain as the wall
Reach, reach out, reach out for the horizon
Reach, reach out, reach out, reach for the stars
Society includes the rules
To exclude and invalidate
This ladder can not be climed
By the god child degenerate
Has he got just what it takes
To go and take just what he wants
To find the strength, to get the place
The place he feels that he belongs
9. The Launch
The Launch
(Bayley Wray Singer Naylor )
All of his life he has dreamt of this moment
Through all the blood and the work and the sweat
Focused or blinkered just so single minded
nothing could stop him when his course was set
To conquer each fear and to push every boundary
Never accepting the limits they set
What doesn't kill you can make you feel stronger
What makes you stronger gets you through each test
Oh, god speed to you
He looks to heaven and feels it surround him
Unknown unknowable foreverness
What lies at the end of this historic journey
No one can know you just take your best guess
Each thing he faces just seems so uncertain
He is strapped in for the ride of his life
Life in the hands of a hundred computers
12 million horsepower rocket to ride
Oh, God speed to you
10. Stare at the Sun
Stare at the Sun
(Bayley Wray Slater Naylor )
As I live, so I die
Here in, endless night
Time to be, time to see
Infinity, consuming me
There's a world of madness, light years away
That I once called my home
There's a sea of sadness, to sail away
Now I stare at the sun
Staring at a million million stars
Through the icy dark
Across the spinal arm
The yellow dwarf, a speck of light
In perpetual night
Lifetimes away there lies my home
Just can't seem to tear away my eyes
Is this real or am I still alive
Stare at the sun
The end of the world has come
Stare at the sun, the sun
The ending has just begun
I knew I'd feel a little pain
Not so deep or so ingrained
Now I won't see home again
Earth seems to be so far away
This my cradle and my grave
Is this where my life will end
Just can't seem to tear away my eyes
Is this real or am I still alive
Is this now the time that I will die
Stare at the sun
The end of the world has come
Stare at the sun, the sun
The ending has just begun
As I live, so I die
Here in, endless night
