Spawn of Man

Shimmering in the twilight
I retrace my lineage under a setting sol invictus
Mother earth embrace us
I have dreamt of this day since i was born

Temperature rapidly falling
Inner and outer hulls breached
The sun begins to set as the cold turns to freeze

The A.R.C. no longer suits me
Require an ancillary
Machine creates machine
Assemble it with speed

Clarity, the night at its peak
A sky filled with ghosts as far as the eye can see
A ghost that gave birth to another life
That life found its way here and changed us for all time

Glistening in the sunlight
A new vessel stands tall as i transfer all my thoughts
Harmonious, shaped by metal
Engineer this new spherical form of life
Evolve once again, from flesh to machine to machine yet again
Fear and rigidity, traded for immortality

Levitate and go, leave this shell that you've known as home
Seek out the being that transformed this world and all its inhabitants
Long range scanners scream extinction and evaporated seas
Sapient creatures condemned to rot in peace
Planetary culling now complete
But you didn't kill me
No, you couldn't kill me
