Words and music by James Harding
Lyrics based on the Machine Of Death short story/board game series developed by Ryan North, David Malki & Matthew Bennardo.

lyrics

How can you bring so much death?
You're just a machine
A covered-by-the-NHS
Destructor of dreams
Every cell I use as I draw breath
Points towards a disease
I know exactly how I lose myself
Just not what it means

Oh, cruel fate how you do mock me
But If I ever wanna swim with sharks
Nobody can stop me

Predetermination's not the downer you'd assume it would be
This diagnosis is a weapon and I use it to live comfortably
A curse to bring me great success
With what's important to me
Can't see the spectre of eternal rest
But now I know where it sleeps

Oh, cruel fate how you do mock me
But If I ever wanna swim with sharks
Nobody can stop me

There's no way this can end well
But trust me baby, I'm a professional
To love the way you dance with death
Is to live in the best hell
