From PKG’s “Too Trapped to Care” (2005)
Weakened
Awakened
The superconductor's sleeping
Shake the foundation
Quiet monstrosity
Weather breaks in
Feeding its pores
Channel the energy
Ominous and seething
Coast on the new power source and face swells far superior to yours
Maddingly unified with a goal both global and rooted in our own backyard
Painful as it stretches ever closer to a Heaven we've either created or killed
The thudding iron heart of everything that is
Is beginning to have a bit of a palpatation
Fighting the sting of industrial age
Metallic yet tender embrace
Grab human footholds as the superconductor sleeps
We will rise
Invaded and bleeding
Plates shift for the overhaul
No longer the superconductor's sleep will affect us
We break bread with the soil
United with the ground that gave us birth
Rivets burst
Iron buckles
Sweat pours a watershed
We are alive
We are burning
We are flesh made better by steel
In the furnace of the world, we prepare for revolution
Step by step broken bones heal with a fusion of man and machine
Meat welded in carbon and coal and suddely purpose is granted a vessel
Unchained we've got a seamless drive and passion
[I have a nightmare]
It never felt so good to hurt so bad
[A nightmare we can all live in harmony]
As if a burden has dissolved, we step into the sun for the very time
[Break off from the race of man and nuzzle up to a motherboard]
Looking superconductor in its digital unblinking unconscious eye
[My nightmare can be realized if we all join together in an embrace]
And in the cold harsh light of the darkest place ever imagined
[Made whole as the soldering iron improves on our weakened skin]
We see the weakness to exploit, and that weakness is our own humanity
Fighting the sting of industrial age
Metallic yet tender embrace
Grab human footholds as the superconductor sleeps
We will rise
Fighting the sting of industrial age
Metallic yet tender embrace
Awake in the cradle of our new mother
Asleep in electric embrace
Alkaline tears rain down
We are swollen with loss
As our machine soul breathes its last air
Is the ground rising or have we fallen
Superconductor sleeps no more
