Hammers of Misfortune — The August Engine Part 2 lyrics

Lyrics

So you think that you know me Just like those below me And you think that your wise
With those big, wide open eyes
So you won’t play along, no You say that it’s wrong, oh And you’re seeing right through me And you dare to accuse me So you no longer love me And you think your above me Yet you run when your able
To fetch scrap from my table
So you’ve got me confounded
But I’ve got you surrounded
Where, where indeed
Will you turn when you’re in need?
If I’m a lie, and maybe it’s true
Still it is I that created you
And when you die, I’d have you believe
That even your ghost is shackled to me As are those who bear your memory
Within you live my manufactured dreams
Soon we’ll be repackaging your quaint rebellious schemes
Within this august engine’s power
To vindicate or to devour
As armies march and temples tower
Our golden glory shines before before you
Our golden road opens for you
Leave all your troubles far behind you
Enter the light, though it blinds you
