Machine Men

The Cardinal Point

Machine Men


The future was full of choices 
But all chances fell to the waves - beneath a boat we built 
With our hands keeping us safe on the surface 
Broken plans were rusted by the tears of broken men 
We chose another journey after weeks 
We had sailed blind and astray 

Fairytales from the endless seas and liars 
With their briefcase full of promises 
- We could sail the big ship across the ocean 
Navigation to the dreams 

I couldn't tell where the sea ended 
And the sky began - 'cos of the dark 
No light on the hill to lead us to the way of salvation 
Keeping us separate from these cold and dark waters 
Preventing disappearance to those waves 
Of lightning and storm 

Fairytales from the endless seas and liars 
With their briefcase full of promises 
- We could sail the big ship across the ocean 
Navigation to the dreams
