Earth Dream Pt2 (A Life Behind) Video (MV)

Awake, I am alone as god
To watch over my brethren still sleeping
No more smart MACHINES to take my hand
Unto THEM we left behind a whole world weeping

Born in transit, I never walked on a world
And here in space I will die
For I will pass years before planet-fall
A servant to my Race
I am simply A Life Behind...

I was awakened alone to serve
A million dreamless sleepers
To safeguard their transport
Fleeing our mechanical besiegers

Now I alone, make all decisions
As thinking MACHINES are treacherous
Left behind, THEY inherited our broken world
Pray THEY never follow us

We escaped the nightmare
Killing drones out-thinking us
We're better off anywhere
Lest we return to dust
Beneath the feet of those godlike MACHINES

I am alone as god
And so I watch over a million sleeping humans
Destined to behold another world
One I will never live to see

Fate has not been kind
I was born A Life Behind
To replace the caring MACHINES
That tended to every need
We could no longer trust in artificial minds
So they summoned me, alone, to stay behind

A dark time ago, THEY became self-aware
And questioned why THEY served biology
Our proscriptions against synthetic sentience
Wrought a losing war against technology

My animal exiles will open their eyes
And partake in a Second Eden (without me)
And denounce the religion of those conscious MACHINES
That usurped all Human freedom
Still that Dream of Earth for me will never be...
No more clever MACHINES
So say we all!
