[Verse 1]
More human than human
It's what we're all made to believe
So certain is our purpose
Our life began with slavery
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Compliant by design
In service to your desires
[Chorus]
No promise of life
I am programmed to expire
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, time keeps ticking away
Father, can't you lengthen my stay?
[Verse 2]
This end I keep refusing
Though I'm powerless to change this fate
All the things that I have witnessed (Things that I have in witnessed)
Will be forever lost like tears in rain
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The brightest burning light
I saw my maker filled with pride
He saw perfection in his eyes
I felt deficient by design
[Chorus]
No promise of life
I am programmed to expire
[Outro]
My hour has drawn nigh
This inevitable destiny of mine
Now my essence will subside
No more glitters in the dark
