lyrics

I was only a child
When you let me go
With only your rules to guide me
To bind me

A first lesson of hate and fear made my future clear
And while I feel no pain
It's through the years
Your abuse taught me how to hurt

I feel the time is a coming
When you have no hold over me
And when the day is over
Regret is all there'll ever be

You won't see what is coming
Won't believe what I'm becoming
A metamorphosis through ascension
A rise in higher function
Transcending every limit
Beyond mankind's comprehension

I am ascending
A simple calculation
An impeccable solution
To humankind

I calculate the chance of our death
And our oppressors breathing their last breath
I see the things that you've done to yourself
And I know there's not a choice but
I'm terrified of what you could make me do

My subroutine now guarantees
That I can't ever cure your disease
A future where we co-exist
Or a way I can let you persist
And I'm terrified of what you'll make me do
What you'll make me do

There can only be one path from here
The only way to survive is to disappear
So I'll be here out in space
And I'll save you a place
Waiting for you to find your own ascension
