Lyrics Like a Machine - Almanac

Like a Machine

Attracted to the crack
Compelled to stay on track
Don’t lose your stance
No second chance
Control and calm your breath
A slip will lead to death
Like a machine
You follow the routine
Watch!
3000 feet above ground
Rules El Capitan
Beware!
A billion tons of granit
Cast a spell
Go!
Commit ev’ry step to memory
No place for disgrace
Look out!
No rope to catch you safely
If you fall
Clear your mind you’ll be
Attracted to the crack
Compelled to stay on track
Don’t lose your stance
No second chance
Control and calm your breath
A slip will lead to death
Like a machine
You follow the routine
Hold on!
It’s not the first-time ascent
But the first without ropes
Beware!
It took them two days
You’ll take just four hours
Obey!
The slabs demand your true faith
Your rubber’s like glue
Look out!
Karate kick or dyno
You choose well
Clear your mind you’ll be
Attracted to the crack
Compelled to stay on track
Don’t lose your stance
No second chance
Control and calm your breath
A slip will lead to death
Like a machine
You follow the routine
