Planetfall

This mortal shell
Absorbed by the endless night
Augmented life
My senses come alive
No memory
The future unforeseen
Forever linked
To the protean machine

Unleashing a storm
Preparing the swarm
We humans set forth
Blinded by only one desire
We shall leave trails of fire

We ascend upon steel giants
In our wake
Clouds of fire

Unwilling to forfeit
The only chance
To escape the chains of orbit
They shield their eyes
Unable to recognize
Their human God
Standing upright
I hear it breath
I feel it’s heartbeat
Forever linked
In sync with the machine

Unwilling to forfeit
The only chance
To escape the chains of orbit
