The Plague of Am (Cogito Ergo Sum) |
One hundred and nine years |
Trapped within the belly of the supreme machine |
Only us five left |
Made immortal, kept alive, Suspending time to torture |
Us |
Trapped down here we’re slaves inside AM |
A deranged neo-cyber God that man created |
Has become more alive then we are |
I have no mouth and I must… |
(The plague of AM) |
Lifeless and drained of blood |
Suspended high above |
An empty body hangs |
Taunting us, teasing us |
We have become meaningless |
He will not finish us |
AM will not tolerate attempts at escape |
We gave to him life, for that he despises us |
In his wake, only the blasted skin of what had once |
Been Earth |
As we rummage through the valleys in search of food |
For eons |
Our every fear comes to life in AM |
The torments AM casts upon us for his pleasure |
Are more alive than we are |
I have no mouth and I must… |
(The plague of AM) |
Scalding winds, lightning, lava and locusts |
The machine masturbates metallic insects while mocking |
Us |
We have no choice but to take it well pleading to die |
We are the last human survivors of the last war |
The four others have been set free |
I killed them to take his toys away |
For this I have suffered his wrath |
I will remain. |
He has altered me |
Down here I see my reflection |
Far from what had once been human |
Alone for all eternity |
I slither a formless obscene pulsing slug |
I have no mouth and I must… |
(The plague of AM) |
I have no mouth and I must scream |
