The 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 civilized 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 remonstration 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 Staples, 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 realize my dream

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 T.V.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 realize my dream Homo-sapient, 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 realize my dream I am human, an automaton, a mindless techno slave I am human, I am servant to the monsters I have made
