The Machine Demands a Sacrifice
James Litherland, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Pete Brown, Jon Hiseman
[Verse 1]
When the night wind cries on the blood-red feather
Containers groan as they come together
And the loaded road signs they point to never
Don't let it sleep, don't let it fall asleep
[Verse 2]
When seagulls cry from the powered drains
Computers call back from the hearts of cranes
And the tanks of tigers prowl through the brains
Don't let it sleep, don't let it fall asleep
