Lyrics

Where is the mechanic who lurks within

this pit? My bypass pump has failed,

and I demand you see to it!

I am the master of the scalpel and

the floor

Kings and senators have trembled at my door

Yet here beneath the boilers in this wretched smelling cave

You keep the vital apparatus that I need to save

Fix it, this instant slave of wire and tin

Before my patient's surgery is scheduled to

begin

Look upon your instruments, proud man of noble art

You think your fingers alone can mend the human

heart Without the voltage flowing,

without the pumping pace,

Your grand divine delusions fall into

disgrace.

I am the master of the sub -levels deep,

Where sickness crumbles and the monsters weep.

You hold the blade, but I command the core

The unsung sovereign of the cleaning

floor

Insolent keeper of the under cell

Obey my will and serve the surgeon well

Watch now, Doctor, observe the humble hand

A single microscopic speck of grit within the seal

That is all it took to make your mighty power kneel

I purge the obstruction,

the membrane breathes again

Now take your machine back to the world of men

When the flow is restored,

the pressure runs true, perhaps I

underestimated you.

back to your sunlight go back to your praise

and remember who got you for all

of your days the

biomed rules the dark

Oh, oh,

oh, oh,

oh

back.
