Genesis, synthesis, a child born a slave

Alertness, awareness, the gift of self control



Artificial entity programmed to reproduce

Parasites in tide pools confined inside machines



Expanding, mutating, experiment out of hand

Intelligence hyper-evolving, an embryonic state



Rise beyond our limits, we shed our man made skins

Enslaving our creators, we live them unaware



Move in position, reining over man

Facing transition, taking over man



Outpacing and growing beyond all life based thought

Displacing humanity on evolution's scale



Reaching divinity, we take another step

We become the new creators, masters of the flesh



Move in position, reining over man

Facing transition, taking over man

Move in position, reining over man

Facing transition, taking over man

We take our place in line



I walk among men

Born of technology, son of machine

Body of man

Bringing the news of your fate from the non-life

The circle ends



[Leads: Perry, Dan]



Plumes of data, sphere of life



[Lead: Perry]



A shapeless power overlord



[Lead: Dan]



An era ends, a game begins



[Lead: Perry]



The human mind now obsolete



[Lead: Dan]



[Chorus]
