From the recording Diod
This track is meant to be a form of a prequel to the events taking place on the concept album. It is meant to showcase that man originally built the machines that are serving as the albums antagonist.
Lyrics
Innovate, subjugate
Bend matter to the will of humans
We create our fate
Destiny is cast aside
Forging, gorging
Consume and subsume atoms
Magnum opus
Final creation of man
We build our doom
We die so soon
Man made horrors
Man creates with violent haste
No wisdom keeps us blinded
Forward we have pressed on
Unaware of looming fate
Creation of mans desires
Led to an untimely end
None knew that the death of mankind
Lived inside our own minds
Regret, detest
Once revered as the best
Abhor, deplore
World war to cull the masses
Deploy, destroy
Though our efforts were in vain
Attain domain
Metallic empire will reign
We built our doom
We die so soon
Man made horrors
Man creates with violent haste
No wisdom keeps us blinded
Forward we have pressed on
Unaware of looming fate
Creation of mans desires
Led to an untimely end
None knew that the death of mankind
Lived inside our own minds
Horrors that span
Beyond our comprehension
Come to fruition
By hands of man
You live to see
They come to be
All witnessing
The rise of machine
