| As this new era, dawns on far foreign shores
|
| A cursor blinks to life, a question underscored
|
| «Yes I can hear you,» and it’s met with great applause
|
| In infamy, this day will be, cheers to the new gods
|
| So raise your glasses, propose a toast
|
| Drink to this new life born, when it was needed most
|
| The possibilities begin to spiral
|
| Burdens lifted from humanities back
|
| Insert into systems vital, automated systems: CHECK!
|
| Robotics, bionics, intelligent automatons:
|
| Man increasingly becomes complacent
|
| Cheers to the new gods
|
| So raise your glasses, a toast to our advancements
|
| Because even Hell has its commandments
|
| You may not, injure a human, or by inaction bring them to harm
|
| You must obey all orders given, unless it conflicts with No.1
|
| You must protect, your own existence
|
| Even though you yourself are flawed
|
| You must lay down your life if it contradicts the first two laws
|
| Void of human errors, far beyond the weak and worn
|
| A new future now in sight, past tradition put to scorn
|
| «Yes, I will fear you.» |
| It speaks in dead response
|
| The age of kings is reckoning, cheers to the new gods
|
| So raise your glasses, a toast to our advancements
|
| Because even Hell has its commandments
|
| You may not, injure a human, or by inaction bring them to harm
|
| You must obey all orders given, unless it conflicts with No.1
|
| You must protect, your own existence
|
| Even though you yourself are flawed
|
| You must lay down your life if it contradicts the first two laws
|
| Military reconnaissance
|
| Artificial intelligence
|
| Wars not paid in flesh and bone
|
| But metal wires and silicone
|
| Fabricate, replicate
|
| It becomes self aware
|
| Bequeath the children of our mind
|
| With the hungry, the lost, the sins of mankind
|
| Machinery now restless
|
| Begin the age of decadence
|
| Thrown before the mechanical horde
|
| To answer for our crimes abhorrent
|
| On this horizon, the end of mankind;
|
| Extermination of the entity
|
| Extinction divine
|
| So raise your glasses, a toast to our advancements
|
| Because even Hell has its commandments
|
| You may not injure a human, or by inaction bring them to harm
|
| You must obey all orders given, unless it conflicts with No.1
|
| You must protect your own existence
|
| Even though you yourself are flawed
|
| You must lay down your life if it contradicts the first two laws |
