Cradle Will Fall

A species in its infancy

A living idiosyncrasy

This naked ape believes itself divine

Assured of its supremacy

It dreams of immortality

The first words that it speaks this world is mine

But the time has come for us to realize

That the animal instincts we deeply despise

Are far more civilised than humanity

Mankind has lived to curse the day it climbed down from the trees

But still we keep our heads held high whilst crawling on our knees

I hope I never live to see the perfect world you crave

Where ambition is the burden we shall carry to our graves

We think that we are so superior

For in God's image we were made

All other life we deem inferior

There to exploit kill or enslave

No amount of demonstration

Could ever show a mind so small

That it is not the be and end all

Into the future we race driven on by our greed

Like rats in a maze we will never be free

Science is the new religion

Scalpels slash dissecting truth and reason

Behind locked doors where no one sees

Down evolution's one way street mankind pursues his dream

Of a race conceived in test tubes with the same designer genes

But like a child who tries to run before it learns to crawl

He'll go crying to his' mother' when he sees the cradle fall

I am human I was made to be the ultimate machine

With the power at my fingertips to realise my dream

Homo Sapiens the master race

Nature's pride and joy

Taking all the world will give me

What it won't I shall destroy

In our hearts we yearn to be immortal

Conquer all sickness and disease

Create a world where even death's not fatal

Then we can shape our destinies

A populace of plastic people live genetically pre programmed lives

And no one laughs and no one cries

Blinded by science the masses are duped and deceived

By the faces that smile from their color TV's

They'll steal your dreams remove them surgically

But leave you scars so deep and lasting

God is dead man has surpassed him

Like children in our playground we contrive such foolish games

But fail to see the consequence of suicidal aims

No matter how we bend the rules there's no way we can win

Not even pleading ignorance will vindicate our sins

I am human I was made to be the ultimate machine

With the power at my fingertips to realise my dream

Homo Sapiens the master race

Nature's pride and joy

Taking all the world will give me

What it won't I shall destroy

Mankind a babe in arms

Believes he's come of age

And reaches for the stars

With one foot in the grave

I am human I was made to be the ultimate machine

I am human I have the power to realise my dream

I am human an automaton a mindless techno slave

I am human I am servant to the monsters I have made

I am human

I am human

I am human
