The last four tracks are resequenced. One early release of the album often referred to as the "premaster" has an extended version of "The Sacred and Profane" with two bars of electronic drum beat at the beginning of the song, electric guitar instead of acoustic in "Age of Innocence", "The Crying Tree of Mercury" titled "The Mercury Tree", and a different, more lo-fi mix overall.<ref>{{cite web |title=spfreaks.com/item/machina-the-machines-of-god-171/ |url=http://spfreaks.com/item/machina-the-machines-of-god-171/ |website=SPfreaks |accessdate=3 February 2019}}</ref>

Lyrics

speed kills, but beauty lives forever
speed thrills, but beauty knows your name
i fell ill inside eternal winter, winter
and stood still beside eternal flame

and when i ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
with all i'd asked
and all i'd pray
the last rose of summer would stay

first time that i ever saw you
crashing hard thru days of pain
you were one of god's children
left to cry out in the rain
waiting to be saved again

'cause when i ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
and all i'd ask
and all i pray
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer is gone
long gone, gone
the last rose of summer is gone

when i ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
forever young
forever blind
into the stars
we rock tonight

last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer is gone
