lyrics

Across the page lay the steps to our solution:
The riddle of us (a new era dawning)
Determined to take the step - our evolution
And free us from our past (proceed with caution)

If we are to redesign our way of thinking,
Then how do you feel?
We take the chance and make them emulate the living
To know why we feel!

We're gonna blur the lines
Become the closest thing to gods
The next step is our own
A machine that's lifelike
One that can feel like us
And one that we can clone (Commencing pareidolia)

The numbers, they say, simplifying our hypotheses
That this can sure be done (mimicking emotion)
Calculations convey that there's a road out of this darkness
Blueprints for this shall be drawn (sensation illusion)

If we are to redesign our way of thinking,
Then how do you feel?
We take the chance and make them emulate the living
To know why we feel!

We're gonna blur the lines
Become the closest thing to gods
The next step is our own
A machine that's lifelike
One that can feel like us
And one that we can clone (Commencing pareidolia)

Prototypical exoskeleton
Assemble the delicate circuitry
Fill with anthropomorphic emotion
Combined with artificial empathy
We are the Alpha of the Beta of
The Omega of our ignorance
With this final piece we shall mimic God
And pave the way towards omniscience!

We're gonna blur the lines
Become the closest thing to gods
The next step is our own
A machine that's lifelike
One that can feel like us
And one that we can clone (Commencing pareidolia)

We're gonna blur the lines
Become the closest thing to gods
The next step is our own
A machine that's lifelike
One that can feel like us
The seeds have now been sown (Commencing pareidolia)
