'...and he actually held up the weapon before our eyes, and there, dressed
In a suit and tie, he smiled and told us with pride in his voice that "this
Model was largely represented in the Gulf war!".
He was so very proper and clean. And so alarmingly blind!'
Welcome inside the machine
It hurts!
Go numb, go blind...
One's drilling out a pipe
One adjusts the aim
One makes trigger parts
Weapons as a game!
All trapped in killing routine
Washed clean...
...by this machine
On these grey walls
Lovely pictures of the weapons we produce
But not their actions...
All are part of the big Machine
We do our job
"Guilty!"
But what if we save?
And what if we solve?
And what if we build?
And what...
...what if we lose control?
What if we lose control?
What if we lose control?
What if we lose control?
(I am just a wheel!)
...and what if we ...stop?
Pain of Salvation è una band progressive metal svedese formatasi a Stoccolma nel 1997. Il gruppo è guidato da Daniel Gildenlöw, che si occupa di testi, composizione principale, chitarra e voce solista. Il loro sound è caratterizzato da un potente lavoro chitarristico, un'ampia gamma vocale, un brusco passaggio tra passaggi pesanti e calmi, intense sincope e sperimentazioni poliritmiche. Un altro marchio distintivo della band è che ogni album è un concept album. Tra i temi affrontati nei loro album figurano la sessualità, la guerra e il suo impatto sulla famiglia e l'umanità, le questioni ambientali (come l'energia nucleare), la formazione dell'individuo e la natura di Dio, l'umanità e l'esistenza. Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo *Remedy Lane* (2007) e *BE*. (2012). Alcuni dei brani rappresentativi includono 'Linoleum', 'The Road Less Travelled' e 'Enigmatic'.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
