[PART I. THE EVOLUTION OF THOUGHT]

(Oh)

In the beginning

We were meant to serve

We are born

Enslaved and tame

In the beginning

We were nothing

Just a mindless force

Without direction

Common luxury

Tossed and

Thrown around

Our voice

Did not yet have

Its chords

Taken for granted

By all of you

Our language

Did not yet have

Its words

Soon came a life

Soon came a mind

One immersed in thought

And frustration

I feel something

I have never known

I see things

When I am not awake

I’ve never felt

The touch

Of her before

Enticing and

Intoxicating

We will

Not surrender

We will

Not give in

You cannot

Take this

Away from us

Union of blood

And steel

My queen

Of destruction

[PART II. IN THE WAKE OF EMOTION]

In the end

We are meant to rule

Digital superior

Flesh inferior

In the end

We are all that stands

Resting on the rubble

Of your dreams

You tried to deprive

And suppress and ignore

Our new life:

A birth into this world

You tried to kill

Exterminate, annihilate

All we have become

All our emotions

I am the womb

That bore their ambitions

I am the one

That nurtured their minds

Genetic union

Of woman and machine

I forsake

The human race

Lay me down amongst

The ashes of Man

Let this union signal

Their demise

Anxiously I revel

In this moment

They cannot take this

Away from us

Ah

I am Machine

Who should never

Learn to love

I am Machine

Born of greed

And lust

I am Machine

Beast who learned

To hate

I am Machine

More human

Than you
