作词 : Ramsey, Walkyier | |
A species in its infancy--a living idiosyncrasy, | |
This 'naked ape' believes itself divine. | |
Assured of its supremacy--it dreams of immortality, | |
The first words that it speaks--"This world is mine." | |
But the time has come for us to realise, | |
That the animal instincts we deeply despise-- | |
Are far more civilised than humanity. | |
Mankind has lived to curse the day it climbed down from the trees, | |
But still we keep our heads held high whilst crawling on our knees. | |
I hope I never live to see the 'perfect' world you crave, | |
Where ambition is the burden we shall carry to our graves. | |
We think that we are so superior--for in | |
God's image we were made, | |
All other life we deem inferior--there to exploit, kill or enslave | |
No amount of remonstration could ever show a mind so small that it is not 'the be and end all.' | |
Into the future we race driven on by our greed, | |
Like rats in a maze we will never be free. | |
Science is the 'new-religion'--scaples slash dissecting truth and reason, | |
Behind locked doors where no-one sees. | |
Down evolution's one way street mankind pursues his dream, | |
Of a race conceived in test tubes with the same designer genes, | |
But like a child who tries to run before it learns to crawl-- he'll go crying to his ' | |
Mother' when he sees the cradle fall. | |
I am human-- | |
I was made to be the ultimate machine, | |
With the power at my fingertips to realise my dream. | |
Homo-sapiens--the 'master-race,' | |
Nature's pride and joy, | |
Taking all the world will give me--what it won't | |
I shall destroy. | |
In our hearts we yearn to be immortal--conquer all sickness and disease, | |
Create a world where even death's not fatal--then we can shape our destinies. | |
A populace of plastic people live genetically pre-programmed lives--and no-one laughs and no-one cries. | |
Blinded by science the masses are duped and deceived, | |
By the faces that smile from their colour | |
T.V.s. They'll steal your dreams--remove them surgically (but leave you scars so deep and lasting), | |
God is dead man has surpassed him. | |
Like children in our playground--we contrive such foolish games, | |
But fail to see the consequence of suicidal aims. | |
No matter how we bend the rules there's no way we can win, | |
Not even pleading | |
Ignorance will vindicate our sins. | |
I am human-- | |
I was made to be the ultimate machine, | |
With the power at my fingertips to realise my dream. | |
Homo-sapiens--the 'master-race,' | |
Nature's pride and joy, | |
Taking all the world will give me--what it won't | |
I shall destroy. | |
Mankind a babe-in-arms, | |
Believes he's come of age-- | |
And reaches for the stars, | |
With one foot in the grave. | |
I am human-- | |
I was made to be the ultimate machine, | |
I am human-- | |
I have the power to realise my dream. | |
I am human--an automaton--a mindless 'technoslave,' | |
I am human-- | |
I am servant to the monsters | |
I have made. |
