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
