Lyrics
In a time before words
At the dawn of the earth
From the depths of the ocean
Something emerged
The ever-evolving
Expansion of man
Identifies no limits
Restrictions be damned
A master machine
To aid and release
By intelligent design
To help us survive
Artificial symbionts
That we must devise
Fragile are we
Look to binary means
Imprint our hopes and thoughts
Our futures and dreams
Into a silicon cell
Life from aluminum shells
Wash away
This carbon plague
Since the time of our births
Until the end of the world
We adapt to our enemy
The young eat the old
The ever-evolving
Advancements of man
Give us solutions
A new place to begin
A master machine
To aid and release
By intelligent design
To help us survive
Artificial symbionts
That we must devise
Frail and weak
Contorted bags of meat
Become proponents of sentience
To aid the meek
Who inherited this earth
And depleted its worth
Caretakers wanted
For the carbon plague
Given the means to create new beings
With which to preserve our cells within
Given the means to create all things
We turn to ourselves again
Using machines to keep us breathing
Becoming a victim of our own disease
The ever-evolving destruction of man
To death, the heir apparent
Where does it end?
A master machine
To aid and release
By intelligent design
To help us survive
Artificial symbionts
That we must devise
Fragile are we
Look to binary means
Imprint our hopes and thoughts
Our futures and dreams
Into a silicon cell
Life from aluminum shells
Wash away
This carbon plague
Frail and weak
Contorted bags of meat
Become proponents of sentience
To aid the meek
Who inherited this earth
And depleted its worth...
Caretakers wanted
For the carbon plague
