From where I stand cities made of steel Cradle the horizon A global marvel gleaming with life From above the clouds You have sent many gods to be martyred My calling resides within the space between Cause and effect What secrets lie behind Both steel and flesh Why has she instilled this disdain toward such awe With her soft spoken declaration of war She whispered to me Bring this world to its knees Let them reap what they sow War and disease My body shattered and cold My mind wiped and restored Synthetic sentience Designed for war My memory of earth will be painted once more Brought back to life by the hands of a tyrant Instincts reprogrammed, altered for war My voice has been silenced My heart wants no more My calling resides within the space between Cause and effect What secrets lie behind Both steel and flesh I will force all those who breathe the air to drown in the dust of this world I will blind all those who see with the light burning in me You have sent many gods to be martyred My body shattered and cold My mind wiped and restored Synthetic sentience Designed for war
