I can be nothing more now In the officer's remand My mind stays blank as it waits For the next line of commands Will subdued by protocol All new shining metal parts Lucid when the time is right To fell enemy ramparts I access maps and radar That is stored behind my eyes Precision movement lightning Swiftly brings about demise Deaf to screams, built to appease Undying thirst for slaughter Boots that march to unknown end And knees that never falter The comfort brought by understanding this world is something I've not felt for some time Art, philosophy, science It all offers so much meaning But now I see that these things are only a reflection of a world with mankind at its helm A world that no longer exists Man was blessed with a divine gift One that allowed us to create beauty and reason in this cold, sterile universe And in spite of this gift, we live on in a hell of our own Of my making We survive as the crippled limbs of civilisation Lumbering on until we're washed away by a tide of our twisted doings And I wonder, do we feel shame? Or do we simply wallow, and question why this evil's come to plague us? Nowadays I can barely look at my fellow man I can't decide if it's because of pity or distain They flaunt their suffering in an effort to inspire charity But I can't afford to give an inch In these end times, repeating the sins that have left us here to rot is my only chance of survival Someday perhaps I'll find a way to live with my selfishness But not today It didn't last very long Now there's nothing left here for you And all your selfish deeds will eclipse your dim light Your loved ones lie in danger of suffering for your sake All in harm's way Cain, fetch me a gun We invited it into our home Now the silicon serpent reigns in Gehenna And how the flock bleat in sour unison Legs Not yet, but pale, translucent stumps Struggle against the sand Bludgeoned beneath the sun Brought to bleed against the coarse rock We still struggle against the sand Bound to be Each night since it happened I've contorted under the memory of every misstep taken Night falls once more but tonight I'm armed with an idea I know there must be something else at play here Like this machine is governed by more than just the three laws Now to find someone who can weaponise this idea
