"Alpha Breed" lyrics

Believing, proclaiming, wearing the crown, pinnacle of creation
Its fatalistic assumption human kind has made
On the planet that is so wrongly called 'earth'

The initial and original keepers of this world still prosper freely among humans, subtly manipulating proceedings
The feeble five senses that humans possess, keep them veiled
What mankind cannot see is ignored
Yet their presence cannot be denied
The keeper's work is methodical, a simple task for immortals of this type
Reasoning for their labour cannot be explained in human tongue
Or understood by misleading simplistic emotions
The diluted answer being humanity was unintentional

In an age, long forgotten, the trials began
Proud doesn't describe what the keepers felt, 'Man' and 'Woman'
Vessels were entered by willing volunteers
Yet something instantly was wrong, inside the vessel they became trapped
Becoming one with the body not just a passenger
Flawed in design, irreversible consequences
Comprehension of the error bringing inexpressible grief
Confined to their new prisons, the tainted two expelled and ostracized
Primitive actions for an evolved kind
Symbols of failure to be forgotten
Unrestricted by the human physical form
But bound by a timeless code
They unemotionally await a natural end to their trial, the 'human race

They created, but cannot destroy, science their god
Thus research is holy
Before work can begin again on the unforgotten perpetual quest there must be closure to their greatest failure
In their eyes

The human body was intended
Designed and created as a vessel
A primitive yet resilient shell to carry the keepers through folds in time
A simple organic data storage tool with a finite duration
Existence as it is known by man was not intended
Using knowledge of vessel duplication
The tainted sought retribution to create a race of a failed breed

Shaming the keepers for millennia
Forced to watch the tainted become a plaque
Capable yet powerless to cleanse the earth directly
Loopholes revealed in the ancient code as time progresses
The manipulation begins

Mankind accepts destructive common events
Diseases, war, disasters are all experiments in progress

The keepers refining their means of cleansing the earth
While a blindly expanding civilization awaits their eviction
