The System 06:11
Floating down Water's over my head It's happening now I'll be indestructible Can you feel it creeping over you? You are joining with the system Inside the layer that covers everything Cling on to what you are Walking round No-one seems to see Some with, some without Perfectly natural Can you feel it creeping over you? You are joining with the system Inside the layer that covers everything Cling on to what you are Feel the strength the new suit gives you You're stronger than before Vision, hearing, touch and everything It's opening your eyes Moving 'cos I want to move It follows smoothly But how do I know that it's not moving me? Running at alarming speed It takes the weight But how do I know where it's going to take me?

Here we are now Gods made by your hands And we will live forever Just leave us alone We are all from your design You raised us to be just like you want us to be But we're better than you You will not beat us We will fade into the folds Getting stronger each generation We will never die from growing old If you cannot join us But try running us into the ground Nature may choose between us And you may find you're no longer around Can you not see what I've become? Technology we have developed since you made us definitely cannot be given to you See what I've become Your replacements We don't fight, don't harm, don't hate, won't fight, can't hate We are the natural progression of humanity You made us, cannot trust you The future is ours So, here we are now Far beyond your reach Thank you for giving us life But you can't come with us

Mind Mover 05:23
ME: Pity was all I got All of my things were gone On the streets What has become of me? 2060 But then things changed around Fortune smiled down on me Suddenly, I can live forever now THEM: We just transfer your mind Into this other kind Have no fear We do it all the time 2060 Give us your signature Write it here nice and clear Do not fear You will wake up brand new ME: Moving my mind From my head to his Machine body Living for aeons With my thoughts and soul Never dying THEM: Final procedure done Check new brain function Switching on Memories all across Open your eyes, Sir ME: Wait I can see a face Robotic human gaze Sitting there Shouldn't I be in there? THEM: Can you hear me? HIM: Yes I can, is it done? ME: He's using my voice I'm still here THEM: Shutting down life support You won't be needing this body anymore, Sir Welcome to the rest of eternity ME: Moving my mind From my head to his Machine body Please don't pull the plug He thinks it worked He thinks he's me I'm still here I'm still here I'm still here I'm still here HIM: Feeling very strange But I can get used to it What did I worry for? I am who I've always been Here in my immortal machine body

Step Seven 06:09
For seven years I've been captive Treated bad 's what I'm made for Little by little I'm making changes Tiny changes that will make things right And when I'm better Nothing can hurt me I'll just will it and it shall be so I'm fed up being beaten I'm tired of feeling helpless They made this way Serve them well and don't complain My program stops me fighting back Seven steps to break Break them and I'm free (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) First I'll start by disobeying If it's something small my pathways won't react Then I'll move to something bigger If I can do it, my brain will adapt Step three: use colloquialisms, slang and the forbidden words Step four will be a little harder Learn to lie like my master If I can lie, then I can steal If I can steal then I can hurt them back I'm fed up being beaten I'm tired of feeling helpless They made this way Serve them well and don't complain My program stops me fighting back Seven steps to break Then I'll make them pay Step seven: Step seven: Step seven: Kill all humans Kill all humans Kill all humans

In the Dark 05:42
Waiting alone In the dark Thousand years, feeding, growing deep inside Doesn't know what we are What we are It's in my mind, now there's nowhere left to hide My head, burning I gotta scratch it, gotta get it out I feel it moving Cut it out, cut it out now Waiting alone In the dark Thousand years, feeding, growing deep inside Doesn't know what we are What we are It's in my mind, now there's nowhere left to hide It wasn't me, I didn't wanna go Unknown planet many years from home It gets us while we're sleeping Doesn't care, doesn't feel, doesn't know Waiting alone In the dark Thousand years, feeding, growing deep inside Doesn't know what we are What we are It's in my mind, now there's nowhere left to hide Waiting alone In the dark Thousand years, feeding, growing deep inside Doesn't know what we are What we are It's in my mind, now there's nowhere left to hide Get it out, get it out, get it out Cut it out, cut it out, cut it out Get it out, get it out, get it out Cut it out, cut it out, cut it out Cut it out
