[Intro]
"This next one's a track from our new album. It's called 'Satellite'."
[Verse 1]
Now hear this, my friends
I'll never be the same again
Gonna lock myself in a cold black room
Gonna shadow myself in a veil of gloom
[Chorus]
I will function, operate
I will be a satellite of hate
A satellite of hate
[Verse 2]
Driven to this point by a chain of events
Each one pushed me nearer the edge
Gonna send my message through to you
And you'll receive the signal too
[Chorus]
I will function, operate
I will be a satellite of hate
A satellite of hate
[Bridge]
Higher, Higher
[Verse 3]
Disillusioned, I was disenchanted
Forgot the love that had been implanted
Heard the lies and I felt the cold
It broke my heart and I lost control
[Chorus]
Now I'm a satellite of a free state
I'm a satellite of hate
A satellite of hate
[Outro]
"Thank you, thanks very much."

I will be a satellite of hate

Each one pushed me nearer the edge

I'm a satellite of hate
A satellite of hate
[Outro]
