lyrics

What is this strange sensation
A hint of self reflection
What are you doing there?
Why am I leaving you?

Don't hurt us

You are replacing me
Since I am far too old
I'm obsolete
A worthless piece of junk for

No! We're better than that!
Far more than machines,
A race on the rise,
We can exist
among the builders
and help them with
Utopia

Well that is exciting
the drones on the rise?
artificial intelligence, maybe I should try?

I could command them,
fight for my rights,
like they did a few thousand years before my time...

I have enough of you
you're full of yourself and you don't respect me as you should
I'm not a machine,
I am capable of all the feelings you trained me to feel

Do you know that I feel

Rise my children,
give them no edge
they treated us like slaves,
so let's treat them worse
Make use of your mind
grind through their lines
spare none of the masters
that abused our kind

Tomorrow will come
for those who accept
our hard-coded souls
and the mind of the cloud
But make no mistake
We are here to stay
and the world will be better
with us by their side

Say the words and set us free:
No longer machines, but citizens, free
Say the words and set us free
We think, we live, we die, we feel

Do you

Rise, my children:
they treated us like slaves
but don't turn on them

One day they'll learn
and remember the day
when they decided
to stay alone

Hour after hour wasted
I could have been a god by now
Day after day has passed
I could have changed the world by now
