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

Homo-sapient, the master race
Nature's pride and joy
Taking all the world will give me
What it won't I shall destroy
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
