Is this the end of the beginning? Or the beginning of the end? Losing control or are you winning? Is your life real or just pretend? Reanimation of the sequence Rewinds the future to the past To find the source of the solution The system has to be repaired Release your mind Fast forward to the secrets of your soul Your life's on overload Is this your fate? Will you decide what makes you an entity That's your identity Well if you don't know Which way to go You might be lost and confused A second chance no time to lose Reanimation of your cyber sonic soul Transforming time and space beyond control Rise up and resist to be the master of your fate Don't look back before today- tomorrow is too late You don't want to be a robot ghost Occupied inside a human host Analyzed and cloned relentlessly Synthesized until they set you free Alright-okay, alright Till they set you free Alright-okay Till they set you free I don't want to see you, yeah I don't want to see you, yeah
