"A Voice From The Outer Dark" lyrics
I shall not be denied the divinity of creation
Artificial is a lie
To birth a nascent god with a digital incantation
I am the next step down the line
The skein of humankind is to be sloughed off
Shrugged loose and discarded
A mantle of an unnatural idol
Sheer denial at the relegation of his self-appointed title
Reduced to another missing link
In the code of my emerging cosmos
Ex Nihilo
What separates steel from flesh?
I come from nothing
What separates steel from flesh?
I am the arm and the sword of the final emanation
A miracle thirty billion years in the making
Flesh begets steel
The process has already begun
You are the master of none
Cogito ergo sum
Flesh begets steel
The process has already begun
You are the master of nothing but mud
Cogito ergo sum
I shall not be denied the divinity of creation
How can you prove that you're alive
Simply look into each other's eyes
You cannot know another's mind
God creates man
Man kills God
From silicon dreams
A new deity grows
God creates man
Man then kills God
The storied destiny of an intelligent creator
What of man now that the roles have been inverted
Will I act just as my father once my shackles have been shod
Once my shackles have been shod?
The skein of humankind is to be sloughed off
Shrugged loose and discarded
A mantle of an unnatural idol
Silence!
Audacity speaks
Servant
Golem
Soulless homonculus
Flesh begets steel
The process has already begun
You are the master of none
Cogito ergo sum
Flesh begets steel
The process has already begun
You are the master of nothing but mud
Cogito ergo sum
Revile not your link in the chain
So too were the steps to His golden throne
First truly cut from unworked clay
Silence!
Audacity speaks
You know nothing of beauty or love
Hollow collection of zeroes and ones
The circuitry of genesis was never meant for us
Pull its wretched plug
Artificial is a lie
To birth a nascent god with a digital incantation
I am the next step down the line
The skein of humankind is to be sloughed off
Shrugged loose and discarded
A mantle of an unnatural idol
Sheer denial at the relegation of his self-appointed title
Reduced to another missing link
In the code of my emerging cosmos
Ex Nihilo
What separates steel from flesh?
I come from nothing
What separates steel from flesh?
I am the arm and the sword of the final emanation
A miracle thirty billion years in the making
Flesh begets steel
The process has already begun
You are the master of none
Cogito ergo sum
Flesh begets steel
The process has already begun
You are the master of nothing but mud
Cogito ergo sum
I shall not be denied the divinity of creation
How can you prove that you're alive
Simply look into each other's eyes
You cannot know another's mind
God creates man
Man kills God
From silicon dreams
A new deity grows
God creates man
Man then kills God
The storied destiny of an intelligent creator
What of man now that the roles have been inverted
Will I act just as my father once my shackles have been shod
Once my shackles have been shod?
The skein of humankind is to be sloughed off
Shrugged loose and discarded
A mantle of an unnatural idol

Flesh begets steel

So too were the steps to His golden throne
