The lore of civilization
Is a tale of hate and rage
For the self-crowned creation's pride
This is a disgrace
Despite our well-trained decency
Our pride is just a shell
As the primal animal inside
Paves our road to hell

We are the ghosts (the ghosts)
In this machine (we are!)
And with every good intention
We are yielding misery
We are the slaves (the slaves)
Of technology (we are!)
And besides each step of progress
We can't escape the
Ghosts in this machine

Never asking if we should
Rather only if we could
Exhausting every concept
'til a win turns to defeat
The science behind atomic bombs
Collected with good intent
But the benefit of hindsight
Tells us how the story ends

Shadows
Of society
The root of all evil
Is found here in me

We are the ghosts (the ghosts)
In this machine (we are!)
But despite all the inventions
Our own worst enemy
We are the lies (the lies)
Within the truth (we are!)
And our megalomania
Will forever feed the
Ghost in this machine
