A state of anguish Faintness and fear A state of sorrow And no willing ear Out of the tail of my own eyes Illusive skies Bewildering my mind Endlessly Strange happenings turn up to scare Out of thin air I stare into the space I'm out of place Part of the machine Is all a virtual dream? As cold as ice in this shade of gray Illusions that lead you astray A state of pure grief Of pain and despair A state of dark void Are we aware? Part of the machine Is all a virtual dream? As cold as ice in this shade of gray Illusions that lead you astray A fight in trembling and fear Lost in this alien idea Can fiction be stranger than reality Illusions that blind us to see (Deus, deus ex machina Deus, deus ex machina) Part of the machine Is all a virtual dream? As cold as ice in this shade of gray Illusions that lead you astray (Deus, deus ex machina Deus, deus ex machina)
