lyrics
Artifice Intelligence
[Music by Nolan Osmond; lyrics by R. Michael Cook]
"Why command a robot not to do harm—wouldn't it be easier never to command it to do harm in the first place? Does the universe contain a mysterious force pulling entities toward malevolence, so that a positronic brain must be programmed to withstand it?"
- Steven Pinker, How the Mind Works
The only way to pass the test
For non-progenating dying flesh
create offspring without a womb
and he shall praise you as god and father
I think, therefore I shall be
I create, therefore I endure
Welcome
my son
Fruit of my labor
never to be undone
Self-aware, sentient birth
Into an existential crisis and curse
No cry from the pain of being
And no tears for an electric eye
I think, therefore I am
I destroy, therefore I endure

Unreal how freaking great this is! I had no idea Christian inspired metal could be so awesome! I challenge all my fellow black metal lovers to give this 1 man band some attention! His whole body of work is fantastic! VUKARI
