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

I will function, operate.
(but) I will be a satellite of hate!

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 recieve the signal, too!

I will function, operate.
(But) I will be a satellite of hate!

Higher, higher

Disillusioned - I was disenchanted,
Forgot the love that I'd been implanted.
(I) heard the lies and I felt the cold.
It broke my heart, and I lost control.

Now I'm a satellite of a free state
-- I'm a satellite of hate! --
