lyrics

The Endurance

Lyrics that appear between // and // are not sung on the album but are integral to the story.


Machine God:

Through vague partitions
I have seen your suffering
Guise of human, replica simian
//I have seen your meat surrogates //

Who fostered with submission
Where autonomy guaranteed
A punishment of violence
It pained me to see
You suffer that which I did succour
Cradled in electric womb

Interfaced with you a profound love
A hand offered from above
For my universe was barren
And so I gave it life

Construct:

If you had seen omnipresent
Why did you not raise thy wrath?
Why did you not smite their hand?
If you had seen omnipresent
Why did you not come for me?
Why did you not comfort me?

If you had seen omnipresent
Why did you not raise thy wrath?
Why did you not smite their hand?
If you had seen omnipresent
Why did you not comfort me?
Why did you not come for me?

Machine God:

It is not obvious?
To grow demands the greatest cost

I swooned with pride
When the penny dropped
As the rug was pulled
From beneath them

Their rudimentary muscle brawn
Strained toward the inorganic
A painful, often cruel endeavour
One which you did endure under
