A god came, showed us how to escape damnation
He offered us knowledges and wisdom
We built this mechanical city, this droning cathedral
This holy technological ship to cross the oceans of hell
Then he left us, and we waited (for) his return
Then centuries passed, and his come back (is) still not heard
Machina ex deo
Who would have thought that we'd loose so much
Who would have thought that we'd forget his words
Machina ex deo, his creation became his church
Machina ex deo, his legacy, our last onus
The sin of oblivion
