lyrics

We build the machines to keep us safe; this is what we ask of them.
Soon we'll see what they ask of us;
and all we'll have to offer is our anti-logic...

A depleting atmosphere...
and growing gills - possibly a step backwards.
The machine beings will be the forward step in our evolution.
An intelligence that is not artificial, processing the same as our brains.
It will build on itself to surpass us. We will be the fossils and their ancestors. They could master time and travel. They will inherit our instinct of life. They will inherit our knowledge of God,
but does His power lie in the fact that He never miscalculates or is it that he is not bound by the mathematical language? Simply put, can his one plus one equal anything other than two?
And when all radiance is pulled back to the never ending center,
It will be our descendants' conscious omnipotent, Son of Machines, that will travel back to the beginning to make the first spark.
The wheel of existence rolls over again, cycling.
A whisper we came into being by God. A whisper God came into being by us. We build Him to keep us safe. This what we ask of Him; this is what we ask of ourselves.
