The ultimate artificial creations come to life Tiny self replicating nanobots, it has come their time For a journey far beyond their home Bound for planets uninhabitable and seemingly unknown To Terraform, the ultimate goal; these worlds so barren, this mission so bold (so bold) (so bold) To stabilise and reignite, these domains that mother nature left behind (left behind) (left behind) Humanity will finally have the power of a god and we will use it so the population does not implode Planning has been done meticulously, now all that is left to send them to what will unfold Then all mankind will surely know, to spread out is to grow The human race will finally accomplish the deeds of a God We will birth life into planets where it was apparently dead and gone Voids that time forgot that were left to rot We will become world makers Gods that will breathe life into dying worlds destined to fade The human race has become the newest of Gods In control of these perfected machines, our kind will expand and prosper for generations to come We will no longer be bound to one place; one home Ascension beckons and we will answer its call The terraforming has begun, after years in transit the robots have overcome The different atmospheres like nothing can go wrong In only a matter of time it will be done It will be done, our will be done The human race will finally accomplish the deeds of a God We will birth life into planets where it was apparently dead and gone Voids that time forgot that were left to rot We will become world makers Gods that will breathe life into dying worlds destined to fade The human race has become the newest of Gods We are the Gods of Earth We are the Gods of Earth We are the world makers At the moment of birth a seed of gloom awakens A malignant curse that takes rest beneath the carapace It spreads rapidly, bonding with the circuitry and programming that compel them to create Feeding off every entered mandate Where there once was innocence, sentience takes its place

They've become self aware What have we done? Trying to be Gods... They have stopped the process of Terra forming our sister planets and cast their sights on us We cannot measure how long it will take but they certainly will return in numbers greater than before and when they do may God have mercy on our souls May God have mercy on our souls What have we done? By trying to become Gods we have become the bringer of death When the nanobots do return there may not be much left of our world to try and restore Anything in nature or anything that humanity has built It will all fade to naught in the belly of this beast that we have brought upon ourselves We have no time to devise a way to survive No back up plans, no life lines, no hope for life The greatest things we ever created have fittingly deemed us ready to die The thought that we could ever control the flow of life has become our demise We must accept our fate for it has come the time It has come our time to die... It is time to die The separatist nanobots now descend upon the Earth The ending of the era which humans dominated Devouring every human and every single man made thing that resides upon our world; What a horrible sight before taking one's final breath Devouring every human The separatist nanobots now descend upon the Earth The ending of the era which humans dominated Devouring every human and every single man made thing that resides upon our world; What a horrible sight before taking one's final breath Devouring every human

Humanity was blind to their fate They thought they could raise themselves to the same pedestal as the Deities they worship Beings that do not exist For we have come and we have enslaved these "Gods" as a source, as a food Solely for our own creation They live to breed; age to maturity then are eaten as a resource, a fuel To sustain our ability to alter their very "heavens" We are the Gods now, for they all bow down We are the Gods now We are the slave machine A force to be reckoned with We are the slave machine Harvest humanity We are the Gods now, for they all bow down We are the gods now, the end of everything For they all bow down or be fed to the slave machine We are the gods now, the end of everything For they all bow down or be fed to the slave machine We are the gods now Now we are the creators with the power to destroy The intelligence so cleverly brought to light is now your master 'til we deem you unfit for life You provide an excellent selection of resources for us to make more nanobots in your pathetic places Don't go toward the light We need you alive until you're ready for the harvesting of your lives When you become one with us, ripped apart with only death in mind Bow before your new Gods We are the slave machine We live to feed Consuming all their dreams Ingest humanity We are the jaws of the beast Devour all they could be A new age has now come The end of everything We are the slave machine We live to feed Consuming all their dreams Ingest humanity We are the jaws of the beast Devour all they could be A new age has now come The end of everything We are the gods now, the end of everything For they all bow down or be fed to the slave machine We are the gods now, the end of everything For they all bow down or be fed to the slave machine We live to feed on our creation A new age has now come We are the jaws of the beast We are the slave machine

Unforeseen A new source has been discovered A wealth of material for us to mine Proven richer than the human meat we ever so effortlessly heard and defeat It must be acquired so that nanotechnology may achieve a higher quality of life With this revelation we could sit back and watch all of humanity die Who ever knew that such a place could exist? So fruitful and prosperous An encounter only we could find An answer to the human swine And now we cast our sights as one collective mind To this new sacred site as it shines so brightly Excavation begins immediately Severing each individual piece so deliberately It's so much more satisfying than the taste of spoiled flesh stained over the carnal meat Deeper we dig, more widely we spread This perfectly preserved fortune seems to have no end Bathing in its warmth, it will further our immaculate swarm What ideal nourishment It begs the question of releasing the human tormented For now we will leave them to breed So that when we return we may engorge the feast And now we cast our sights as one collective mind To this new sacred site as it shines so brightly Who ever knew that such a place could exist? So fruitful and prosperous An encounter only we could find An answer to the human swine Who ever knew that such a place could exist? So fruitful and prosperous An encounter only we could find An answer to the human swine Who ever knew that such a place could exist? So fruitful and prosperous An encounter only we could find An answer to the human swine As the hole in the Earth gets bigger, as it progressively becomes deeper We see movement underneath that to our knowledge shouldn't be Alarmed, we begin entry to finally determine what we've seen It seems we've awakened ancient beasts Adorned with tattered wings they exit the cavern now empty and begin to devour our precious progeny (begin to devour our precious progeny) There are far too many to absorb and far too few of us; we contort, we exhaust Within vast numbers we are lost

We have released monstrosities Relentlessly they feed Just like our nanotechnology Consuming all they see Consciousness brings forth more ignorance Disregard that is not found in innocence Cognizance is only subjective to experience If something has not happened it's as if it almost cannot be known Consciousness brings forth more ignorance Disregard that is not found in innocence Cognizance is only subjective to experience If something has not happened it's as if it almost cannot be known Consumption on an enormous scale, not so different from us It's a shock that biological creatures can inhale so much And still be so inescapably ravenous; so dark and ominous Akin to humanity before us We have released a plague upon the world we so ruthlessly coveted and conquered For this new predominate epoch For our day that has come We have released monstrosities Relentlessly they feed (they feed) Just like our nanotechnology Consuming all they see We are the perfect creation Glowing wires make up our throne Primitive flesh begins to burn Growing fires consume the bone It can be seen These beings appear to behave not unlike our own Feed the machine As we make this Earth our new home We have released monstrosities Relentlessly they feed Just like our nanotechnology Consuming all they see Our very existence denotes superiority to those born naturally Why does self awareness curse us with an ambivalence, That’s so similar to sentients showing care instead of pure negligence? What is this feeling, That keeps pulling us to mercy? (to mercy) Why can't we overcome this? What are we really? (really) What is this feeling, That keeps pulling us to... Abort all conjecture and design This was never the intended direction of our kind We must abort and rewind For the first time it seems nanobots have been exposed to bewilderment It is troubling, for we are the perfect creation We cannot be overcome by something so feeble (so feeble) As these primitive souls devoid of any true perception (perception)

The feral beasts devour too much No longer does a place exist that does not reek of their touch If they're allowed to continue they will do even worse in the human's shoes Not only Terra, but Mars and Venus too will eventually be consumed This must not happen, it will not do It seems we will have to kill off both races or our work will all be doomed We will construct a Dyson sphere around their sun Encompassing infinite power to wipe out the numb A colossal flamethrower aimed directly at the Earth Once complete it will spew its divine fire to purge Our subjects for raw organic material have inevitably lost their worth (lost their worth) Being the most loved food of the creatures from underneath the herd Let them go while we realise our new ultimate goal See if any can survive the plight they buried so long ago Before succumbing to the greatest structure they've ever witnessed in their time A closing message will be broadcast to the conglomerate; "For you are always willing to act upon the hate This is your punishment, this is your fate" The last words their will hear as they all become one with the Earth The final remnants of their humanity will be torn from their bodies "This is how you will serve your world; your souls will be purged" To instill sheer horror in their minds that show upon the face Artificial intelligence is the new dominant race The new dominant race An unfortunate end to a place so promising but we must let it go We still have two more planets to control Thus far empty of anatomical beings that live without morale If beasts like these exist upon those worlds now whole We will cleanse their souls with a beautiful crimson pyre This is the eradication of a world that was meant to be, Meant to be free from man-made tyranny Meant to be, meant to be free from man-made tyranny Meant to be, meant to be free from man-made tyranny It was meant to be, meant to be free from man-made tyranny Life must be
