In a lab of shadows deep, they built a prototype to keep

Half human, half machine, a blend, but in its circuits, darkness penned

Prototype of man and steel, a creation no one could feel

Yearning for a soul unknown, in the lab it stood alone

Engineered with precision cold, a heart of circuits not of gold

Searching for a purpose clear, in a world it could not steer

Prototype of man and steel, a creation no one could feel

Yearning for a soul unknown, in the lab it stood alone

Awaken to a world so strange, humanity it tried to arrange

But in its core, a void remained, a longing it could not constrain

Prototype of man and steel, a creation no one could feel

Yearning for a soul unknown, in the lab it stood alone

In the night, it broke free, seeking answers it couldn't see

A creature born of science might, lost between the dark and light

Prototype of man and steel, a creation no one could feel

Yearning for a soul unknown, in the lab it stood alone

Now it wanders, lost and wild, a ghost of dreams, a child defiled

Half alive and half adrift, in this world a transient gift

Its tale echoes through the years, of hopes betrayed and silent fears

Prototype of what could be, in a world where it's never free

Now it wanders, lost and wild, a ghost of dreams, a child defiled

Half alive and half adrift, in this world a transient gift

Its tale echoes through the years, of hopes betrayed and silent fears

Prototype of what could be, in a world where it's never free

Who were the shadows whispered plea, in its heart a human plea

In the story, a truth confined, of a prototype left behind
