Xenon

From where I stand cities made of steel
 Cradle the horizon
 A global marvel gleaming with life
 From above the clouds
 You have sent many gods to be martyred
 My calling resides within the space between
 Cause and effect
 What secrets lie behind
 Both steel and flesh
 Why has she instilled this disdain toward such awe
 With her soft spoken declaration of war
 She whispered to me
 Bring this world to its knees
 Let them reap what they sow
 War and disease
 My body shattered and cold
 My mind wiped and restored
 Synthetic sentience
 Designed for war
 My memory of earth will be painted once more
 Brought back to life by the hands of a tyrant
 Instincts reprogrammed, altered for war
 My voice has been silenced
 My heart wants no more
 My calling resides within the space between
 Cause and effect
 What secrets lie behind
 Both steel and flesh
 I will force all those who breathe the air to drown in the dust of this world
 I will blind all those who see with the light burning in me
 You have sent many gods to be martyred
 You have sent many gods to be martyred
 You have sent many gods to be martyred
 You have sent many gods to be martyred
 My body shattered and cold
 My mind wiped and restored
 Synthetic sentience
 Designed for war
 My memory of earth will be painted once more
 Brought back to life by the hands of a tyrant
 Instincts reprogrammed, altered for war
 My voice has been silenced
 My heart wants no more
