The blood-fueled death machine is a powerful visual, famously mentioned in the song ‘Dead Flag Blues,’ by the Canadian post-rock band ‘Godspeed You Black Emperor!’
We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
[Verse 1]
This is no exaggeration
We’re living in a death machine
And no, it’s not just your imagination
You’ve been living in a death machine
Some of us are passengers
Some of us are driving
And almost everybody’s getting bled to death
To keep the motor running
[Verse 2]
I’m not being hyperbolic
This place is a death machine
Literally and symbolic
In the belly of the death machine
Doesn’t matter who is steering
It’s just gonna keep on killing
'Til we find a way to finally break the routine
But you might as well face the music
You’re living in a dеath machine
[Bridge]
This ain’t no call to action
Can’t get no satisfaction
Not evеn sure what I was trying to sing
But at least until it stops existing
This fucking time bomb keeps ticking
Shit man, goddamn, that’s just obscene
[Outro]
Living in a death machine
In the belly of a death machine
Everybody do the death machine
We're living in a death machine
