A never shutting aperture,
to capture your light;
a never sleeping apparition,
waiting like a land mine:

And you're caught in the lockstep.

I lie entombed beneath
the shadow of the black machine;
I lie crushed between
the gears.

Burning up the oxygen,
doublespeaking suicide;
savage internecine warfare,
"to purify."

In the ghostly smoke from this crucible,
with my fractured hope in the melting ore:

I lie.

--

"Machine" from the Galt Aureus album TREASON.
