Automaton |
He arrived on the scene |
With no past and no future |
He seemed to know your dreams |
Replace tears with laughter |
Street corner whispers |
Would mention his name |
Selfish? |
Benevolent? |
What was his game |
Some say he’s perfect |
Some say a spy |
A hidden power |
They all wonder why |
The rumors mounted |
But still no fact? |
I need to find out |
Some say perfect hidden power |
We all wonder why |
Questions unanswered |
Suspicion alerted |
I went round to his place |
If felt quite deserted |
I climbed the stairs to where |
His body lay without motion |
No spirit lives in there |
The cord had been broken |
His skin was reptile |
No life in there |
Not young not old |
A long hollow glare |
His breath had stopped |
No hearts beat there |
Is this a man |
Should I believe hidden power |
They all wondered why |
My attention was caught |
By a sound from the door |
Panic gripped the mind |
What lay in store |
A being stared at me |
Benevolent, not cold |
Automaton — He is controlled |
His skin was reptile… |
Automaton — No life in there |
No past and no future |
Is this a man |
Automaton — No life in there |
No past and not future |
Is this a man |
