[Intro]
It bleeds! It breathes!
[Verse 1]
What stands before us, is not a machine
It breathes, it will bleed and it will dream!
[Verse 2]
*Scream*
Its body is covered in hundreds of wires
And a mouth that attempts to speak, it attempts to lie
Only murmurs, collapse from its jaws
[Verse 3]
Only murmurs, collapse from its jaws
And a world, a world without
A world without you
But I rise, the dread will pride
It breathes, beyond this life
[Pre-Breakdown]
So sleep, sleep among us, hesitate no more
[Breakdown]
Entombment of a machine
We kneel and we plead for no
Mourning ahead of us
With only delayed movements
From its figure
We all begin to strain
Entombment of a machine
Entombment of a machine
[Verse 3]
What stands before us is not a machine
What stands before us is not a machine
[Verse 4]
My legs weaken at the site of this damaged program
This program kept you breathing, it kept you alive
These circuits diffused once more
[Verse 5]
Its body is covered in hundreds of wires
Only murmurs collapse from its scream
Entombment of a machine
[Outro]
But I saw it die
But I saw it die
But I saw it dead
But I saw it die
I saw it die
I watched it die
