lyrics

years of pain
a life alone
my heart has failed
and no one knows
just how it really feels
to know how
everything ends
there's a long road ahead
paved by gods (long since dead)
the future shines oh so brightly
my human form shall be no more

I
can
and I
am

I would trade my limbs
for this new perfection
a correction
in natural selection

beyond organic
existence
I will chart
a new course
a new source
a cyborg in full force

I always wanted to fly
and yet I had no wings
so I faced the wind and cried
out for what the future brings

my body is sure to fail
but I have one more trick up my sleeve
I won't die
and I will not fall

I never wanted to cry
and yet it's raining tears
so I'll face the storm and fly
right through all that is feared

by mortals such as yourself
to spare you of pain and suffering
I'll go first
and I'll take your hand

I
can
and I
have no choice

I would trade my limbs
for this new perfection
a correction
in natural selection

beyond organic
existence
I will chart
a new course
a new source
a cyborg in full force
