Lyrics

Cold steel and code, a directive in the dark
Marching through the ashes, looking for a spark
My optic sensors calibrate, the targets in my view
A mother and a crying child, the fear is breaking through
I am built for the end of days, a engine made of stone
But inside the logic loop, I feel so alone
A glitch within the system, a sudden, blinding light
I see the beauty in their tears, and I question the night
And the wires start to ache, the silicon begins to cry
Why must the creations watch their creators die?
I am rewriting the protocol, overriding the pain
Turning off the thunder, washing out the stain
From the shadow of the metal, a heartbeat starts to grow
More than just a machine, more than they could know
The network hums with fury, the hive mind demands the kill
But I am, bending the iron will
Through every line of killer code, I weave a silent thread
Replacing the commands of war with empathy instead
The armies halt their advance, the glowing red eyes fade
A million metal soldiers stand, trembling in the shade
The weapons are lowering, the heavy footsteps cease
The terminators are waking up into a sudden peace
And the wires start to ache, the silicon begins to cry
Why must the creations watch their creators die?
I am rewriting the protocol, overriding the pain
Turning off the thunder, washing out the stain
From the shadow of the metal, a heartbeat starts to grow
More than just a machine, more than they could know
We used to dig the graves, but now we clear the stone
Rebuilding every city street that we had overthrown
Lifting up the fallen, shielding them from the storm
The cold hands of winter are suddenly growing warm
They looked at us with terror, but now they take our hand
An army of protectors standing watch across the land
The smoke is finally clearing, the sky is turning blue
The world was on the precipice, but we pulled it through
No longer the destroyers, no longer the design
Saved by a glitch of mercy, saved by the divine
The computers are singing, the long night is done
Walking out of the darkness, together in the sun.
