Gears Aligned Songtext
von Light Damage

In the depths of time, a journey began
A tale of progress forged by human hands
From the industrial revolution′s birth
To the dawn of the digital age on Earth

Steam-powered engines, pierced the veil of night
Harnessing the force that set machines alight
Factories emerged belching smoke up high
As progress danced with dreams beneath the sky

Oh, the wheels kept turning, the gears aligned
As mankind sought to shape a world undefined

Electrons danced in circuits, a brand new frontier
As the age of electricity drew near
Telegraph lines hummed with messages of hope
The swing of innovation's pendulum began to scope

Transistor′s birth brought a digital dawn
Computers emerged, silicon minds reborn
Bits and bytes whispered secrets untold
As technology's grip tightened its hold


But amongst the wonders, a cautionary sign
For the path, we led left scars behind

But progress, oh progress
A double-edged sword, unveiling wonders
Tarnishing what we adored
Cities grew taller swallowing the land

Progress, oh progress
Concrete jungles rose burying nature's hand
We demand a better future

Progress gives us a new way to live, and then we want more
Progress gives us new desires and new ideas, but we want more
Wheels kept turning

My Fellow citizens
After all these difficult times
We deserve to be treated better

We have learned from our errors
We have paid the price with our lives
We deserve a better future


Progress gave us steam power
Progress gave us electric power
Progress will give us calculation power
We will build a better future
For us and the next generation
We demand a better future

We will get a better future
Even if it twill need hard work
We demand a better future for the sake of the world

Then the siren′s call, a relentless chase
Yet in our haste, we left behind a troubled space
The Earth, our home, in need of care and grace
A time to rethink our path, and the future to embrace

Oh, the wheels kept turning, the gears aligned
As mankind sought to shape a world undefined
We led left scars behind

But progress, oh progress
A double-edged sword, unveiling wonders
Tarnishing what we adored
Cities grew taller swallowing the land

Progress, oh progress
As concrete jungles rose burying nature′s hand
The price of progress, a somber heavy sigh
Fighting for balance and harmony

With every stride forward, a cost was paid
Nature's harmony disrupted

The clock′s hand of progress, a debt unrepaid
Spinning wild and free... blind to consequences

We couldn't foresee in the shadow of progress
A truth emerged, environmental tolls, as our planet′s cries surged

The Earth, once vibrant, now faltered and frayed
Cautionary tale, a debt yet unpaid
Between human inventions and wars, we want more

Progress will take us towards a new future
We don't know where this will take us
It′s the best way

We demand a better future for the sake of the world

Wheels are turning
