The System

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?

From Your Design
06:33

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

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

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
