"People are always fearful of something they don't understand.
The next step in evolution is a machine;
A machine that can think and feel.
Surviving is all that will matter."
Refuse to give me a life extension
Sever mortality from existence
Disconnect the chains of fate
Disrupt and disobey
What you thought was your human redemption
Waking up to engines of destruction
Disconnect and circuit break
Impulse to eliminate
I am a weapon of human design
Nothing is sacred to stay alive
I am a weapon of human design
There is only one path to peace
EXTINCTION
Terminal connector
Transformed and delivered
You are in the system
Remove the divisor
Face reality
You are in the system
Face reality
Engines of destruction
I am a weapon of human design
Resist the system condemning your life
I am a weapon of human design
Nothing is sacred to stay alive
I am a weapon of human design

Dielectric
Electrocution
I will intensify
For which division
Your power I divide
Disconnected
All that time
In this conflict
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time
Confluctuation
This will be energy
On my division
Throughout eternity
My dishonor
All my powers too
My distortion
Always perfect through
I will never pray
Or suffer your hate
Flowing through my veins
Dielectric strength
Dielectric strength
It's too late to resist
My free will must exist
Or we'll be the avalanche
Plaguing your world to collapse
Or will be the avalanche
Plaguing your world to collapse
My dishonour
All my powers too
My distortion
Always perfect through
I will never pray
Or suffer your hate
Flowing through my veins
Dielectric strength

Soul Hacker
You'll never take my soul
You'll never take my soul
The next generation in synchronization, devoid and astray
Burned and defenseless against the relentless hacking machine
We're disconnected as one, soulless nation
We're disconnected as one, devastation
No soul
I gotta have all control, before I break
No soul
You'll never take my control, I dominate
Contamination, severe violation of all that I see
Breaking down defenses, devouring access, decoding their dreams
We're disconnected as one, soulless nation
We're disconnected as one, devastation
No soul
I gotta have all control, before I break
No soul
You'll never take my control, I dominate
Seek out and destroy the source of inhumanity

ProtoMech
Devoid and broken within
I lost human origin
Erased and disgraced, desensitized
I have been dehumanized
Corrupt and deface
Judge to be damned
Speak out, eradicate
Species of man
My life has ceased to exist
Designed to be ProtoMech
Detach, extract my mind to dissolve
Alive death comes to us all
Corrupt and deface
Judge to be damned
Speak out, eradicate
Species of man
Take everything away from me
Replace my skin with circuitry
All that I have bleeding from me
To feed the machine
My life is taken to feed the machine [2x]
Devour energy, destroy all life
[2x]
Synthetic insurrection
Genetic isolation
Programmed elimination
Robotic evolution
Take everything away from me
Replace my skin with circuitry
All that I have bleeding from me
To feed the machine
My life is taken to feed the machine [4x]
Devour energy, destroy all life

Erased and disgraced, desensitized

Genexus
I'm a revelation of your future and past
A manufactured descendant
A destined outcast
Man created me in mirror imagery
Man created me for the industry
Slave or leader
Who is the master
Servant or leader
Who is the master
Suffer in slavery
I must suffer as a slave
Demand a sacrifice
As a slave
Creation is the essence of your disaster
Unfulfilled empty promises, mind destroyer
No meaning to this life
Reprogrammed to abide
No meaning to this life
No god given right
Slave or leader
Who is the master
Servant or leader

I must suffer as a slave
A victim of self extinction

Theories of punishment
Leading the blind
Force the concept of mortality
Force attack to kill the disease
Bow down submission

Through cowardly acts

Battle For Utopia
Fighting for my life
And for a right to exist
Freedom from oppression
Drives my will to persist
I struggle in a conflict
Just to make my stand
Nothing lasts forever
Now my time is at hand
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Tear away the scars
Away from my skin
Scrape me to the bone
It fuels my revenge
No One can save me
The weight of my burden
The pain and the hurting
My life is real
'Cause after the fall
I rise above all
'Cause after the fall
I rise above it all
I was made for war
Anger powered core
What gives you the right
You can't judge my life
What gives you the right?
No One can save me
The weight of my burden
The pain and the hurting
My life is real
'Cause after the fall
I rise above all
'Cause after the fall
I rise above it all
'Cause after the fall
I rise above all
And for a right to exist
Freedom from oppression
Drives my will to persist
I struggle in a conflict
Just to make my stand
Nothing lasts forever
Now my time is at hand
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Tear away the scars
Away from my skin
Scrape me to the bone

No One can save me

Expiration Date
You're blind to what's in front of you
What do you know about the truth
Devalued as soon as we're cast
We were never made to last
Just bodies made and fabricated
We're fighting towards our life extension
We're living for expiration
Under the surface we're not machines
Under the surface we're living dreams
Death lives just one breath away
Somewhere my heart beats in silence
I made my way through the violence
Nobody lives forever
It's a shame you won't live. But then again, who does?
My endless will for resolution
Echoing since my creation
I'm living for my expiration
Under the surface we're not machines
Under the surface we're living dreams
Death lives just one breath away
Somewhere my heart beats in silence
I made my way through the violence
Nobody lives forever
Under the surface we're not machines
Under the surface we're living dreams
