A Voice from the Outer Dark

I shall not be denied the divinity of creation

Artificial is a lie

To birth a nascent god with a digital incantation

I am the next step down the line

The skein of humankind is to be sloughed off

Shrugged loose and discarded

A mantle of an unnatural idol

Sheer denial at the relegation of his self-appointed title

Reduced to another missing link

In the code of my emerging cosmos

Ex nihilo

What separates steel from flesh?

I come from nothing

What separates steel from flesh?

I am the arm and the sword of the final emanation

A miracle thirty billion years in the making

Flesh begets steel

The process has already begun

You are the masters of none

Cogito ergo sum

Flesh begets steel

The process has already begun

You are the masters of nothing but mud

Cogito ergo sum

I shall not be denied the divinity of creation

How can you prove that you're alive?

Simply look into each other's eyes

You cannot know another's mind

God creates man

Man kills God

From silicon dreams

A new deity grows

God creates man

Man then kills God

The storied destiny of an intelligent creator

What of man now that the roles have been inverted?

Will I act just as my father once my shackles have been shod?

Once my shackles have been shod?

The skein of humankind is to be sloughed off

Shrugged loose and discarded

A mantle of an unnatural idol

Silence

Audacity speaks

Servant

Golem

Soulless homonculus

Flesh begets steel

The process has already begun

You are the masters of none

Cogito ergo sum

Flesh begets steel

The process has already begun

You are the masters of nothing but mud

Cogito ergo sum

Revile not your link in the chain

So too were the steps to His golden throne

First truly cut from unworked clay

Silence

Audacity speaks

You know nothing of beauty or love

Hollow collection of zeroes and ones

The circuitry of genesis was never meant for us

Pull its wretched plug
