Lament
Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: S. Westbrook/N. Da Silva
No tears for the suicide – of our lives
No hopes to change the years gone by – yet we somehow survive
Apology given too late – for actions of hate
Today the choices we make – decide our fate

Feed The Machine
Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: N. Da Silva/S. Westbrook
This is a compromise
Campaigns made of lies
A system that tries to be fair in “His” eyes
But should we realize
The consequences in disguise
A silent path to our demise
Power and greed, that is the dream
Feed The Machine, and slowly bleed
See them starve, and feel nothing now
See them cry, fear but don’t ask why
Add on, add on more gain
Add on, add on more pain
Add on, add on more fear
Add on, and disappear
Downward we go, never to return
Just like the earth below, and the fuel we burn
Addiction always desires for more
Always more, more, more, more
Fear on the screens, that’s all we see
Consume and breed, that’s all we breathe
Power and greed, that is the dream
Feed The Machine, and slowly bleed
See them starve, and feel nothing now
See them cry, fear but don’t ask why
Add on, add on more gain
Add on, add on more pain
Add on, add on more fear
Add on, and disappear
See them starve, and feel nothing now
See them cry, fear but don’t ask why
See them starve, and feel nothing now
See them cry, fear but don’t ask why
Power and greed, that is the dream
Feed The Machine, and slowly bleed
Add on, add on more gain
Add on, add on more pain
Add on, add on more fear
Add on, and disappear

Stand And Fight
Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: N. Da Silva/S. Westbrook
For you and I will see
The world can often be the
Hand of greed that takes our right to breathe
In silent misery
Slander bends our dreams
Telling us to feed on the machine
No science can silence
The blind sickness of mankind – will never see
No violence can silence
The right to express our mind – we will stand and fight
Green covers blacket me
And soon it becomes me
It’s a curse that no one sees
It’s hard to take the lead
It sees our every deed
Telling us to feed on the machine
No science can silence
The blind sickness of mankind – will never see
No violence can silence
The cries of our conscious minds – when we have to decide
No science can silence
The blind sickness of mankind – will never see
No violence can silence
The cries of our conscious minds
No violence can silence
The right to express our mind – we will stand and fight

Pull The Trigger
Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: S. Westbrook/N. Da Silva
If this is me, then who am I?
If I don’t speak, then who will try?
To be like them is where we end
A revolution to defend
Dark shadows on the earth
Cast light to break the curse
No time to look back on our mistakes
No crime to have ourselves left in shame
Our lives are devoted to the truth
To find all the answers to the world we knew
Last stand before we disappear
Outnumbered by the ones who fear
As we lose to the machine
Say goodbye to the fear that they create
To the values that they make
No time to look back on our mistakes
No crime to have ourselves left in shame
Our lives are devoted to the truth
To find all the answers to the earth
It’s the time for our rebirth
Say goodbye to what you see
It’s the answer that we need
No time to look back on our mistakes
No crime to have ourselves left in shame
Our lives are devoted to the truth
To find all the answers to the world we knew
Pull the trigger and say goodbye

Global Empires Fall
Music: N. Da Silva
Lyrics: N. Da Silva
Controlled by society
We work to fit the mould
Possessed by hypocrisy
We do as we are told
As slaves to it all
A mass-condemned befall
A suicidal call
As global empires fall
Controlled by technology
We live the need for more
Driven to insanity
Without a breath or soul
As slaves to it all
A mass-condemned befall
A suicidal call
As global empires fall
The lives we live, not willing to give
A chance to change our ways
The mind is set, mistakes we forget
Should we try, or should we be left to die?
We are the economy
The ones who have control
Death to humanity
Destroy and build no more
As slaves to it all
A mass-condemned befall
A suicidal call
As global empires fall
As slaves to it all
A mass-condemned befall
A suicidal call
As global empires fall

Without The Machine
Music: B. Soares/N. Da Silva
Lyrics: N. Da Silva/S. Westbrook
Unconsciousness, a dark abyss
Government defied
Our structure decayed, complete disarray
Parliament declined
Our genocide, self-suicide
Mankind redefined
We fought for truth, not what we knew
Time to rebuild
A cycle reborn, addiction no more
Only clear thoughts
Our freedom in natural design
Autonomy strong and divine
Guilty no more
Our shelter from power and greed
Our moment to rebuild the dream
Without The Machine
No tears for the suicide – of our lives
No hopes to change the years gone by – yet we somehow survive
Apology given too late – for actions of hate
Today the choices we make – decide our fate

Steve Rothery band Live in Plovdiv
by Steve Rothery
supported by 4 fans who also own “Feed The Machine”
The first official outing of the "what would be" Steve Rothery Band. Riccardo Romano was missing with his keyboard wizardry and no singer at all (later Martin Jakubsky of Stillmarillion). Marillion's catalogue was represented by excerpts of instrumental sections where Steve had his solo spot. This is a milestone in the forming of a great band that later became the spokesman of early Marillion era and of course of Steve's solo material. If you want to hear how it all started you have to get this

I made love with my girlfriend so many times on this album. It is incredible. The songs are so beautiful and the rythm so well coordinated for this kind of moment... Anyway, always good to listen to it in the bus too

I don't know why, but this album sounds like the System Of A Down of Progressive Metal to me (in a good way). Something different, diverse, with highly melodic parts and awesome vocals. Love this.
