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

Slave Machine

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
