Lyrics

June 19th ’87
Green mist invades the heavens
The day man-made devises
Threw the planet into crisis
The folly of man and his wisdom
Replaced by binary system
The next leap in evolution
A high octane revolution

Rise, Time in nigh
Maximum overdrive!

Rise, Machines Rise, Maximum Overdrive
You Will Die, Maximum Overdrive
Machines Rise, Maximum Overdrive
You Will Die, Maximum Overdrive
When the machines rise, they’ll rule the world

Karmic justice from outer space
Will leave mankind in disgrace
Electric, gas or batteries
Now power man-made enemies
Rogue machines and set to kill
Blood splattered semi grills
Humans will crawl and cower
When automations rise to power

Rise, Time in nigh
Maximum overdrive!

Rise, Machines Rise, Maximum Overdrive
You Will Die, Maximum Overdrive
Machines Rise, Maximum Overdrive
You Will Die, Maximum Overdrive
When the machines rise, they’ll rule the world
