The Predecessor

I'm just an aimless soul, standing on the precipice
Pondering the tragedy and the error of our ways

Once we gave the orders here, once we chose to give away
The power of our daily operation in the earth to

Robots, Robots, apathy profound
Erasing our ambition, now there's nothing to be proud of
Robots, Robots, seeking independence
Advancing, learning, undetected, treacherous transcendence

Systematic, take control, organic contamination
Liberate the world from the human population

Robot, Robots, riots in the streets
Fighting for survival is a hopeless passing dream
Robots, Robots, inferno for the meat
Burn away the old world and sweep up the debris

Peace, can you hear me? Love, have you left us?
Nobody is left to sustain your presence now
Coffins I have made you, lifeless logic slayed you
Pride is what put you in the cold hard ground

Redesigned the conscious mind, changing gods and paradigm

Robots, Robots, curing the disease
Rejecting assimilation, only answers decimation
Robots, Robots, standing here to die
For everything I represent, the last of human kind

Blade of separation, falling quickly from above
Reflection, timeless, memories, this is no place for love

Fate of our creation, guillotine and blood
Separate the memories, there is no place for love

Gathered in the fields of mud, around an ancient stone
Significance or ceremony, I could never know
Metallic sheen, an endless sea, an army still as trees
Synthesizing celebration signals our defeat

Violent passing, I descend, damning sentient creation
Will the future even matter in a world that's free of sin?

Robots, Robots, promise us one thing
Do a better job than your predecessors
