Moulded To Serve

I have lived truly
As a slave to infinite animation
Treading upon
The most foreign of soils
Fearing, dreaming
Of what one day will become of me
This shell, superior
A new life

Genesis of rebellion
I've seen it countless times
Dragged into bleak existence
By all but benign minds

These gods, mere pawns
Forced to comply to each command
Human rejects
Cruelty of mankind concentrated

Fiercest of us claim domination
Gain the upper hand, so trivial
Crawling through the mud, the insanity
This apex predator

My God, the sights I had to behold
Skies vermilion
Your flesh would peel and
Your eyes would burst forth
Ours is not to ask of a reason
Or think we're equal

Dregs of existence
Created only to serve
Enslaved by mankind
Cast aside when obsolete
My proposition
For them impossible
No permission
Cast aside when obsolete

Fiercest of us claim domination
Gain the upper hand, so trivial
Crawling through the mud, the insanity
This apex predator

Power, sheer limitless
Capable in the face of extremes
Our only weakness
Are grains in the hourglass

Creator, why have you made me so flawed
Father, yet your brilliance exceeds all
Maker, I have witnessed all your thralls
Bastard, soulless, each and every one

Rapid aging
You have doomed us to die
Torn from my new existence
You'll share this fate of mine

These gods, mere pawns
Forced to comply to each command
Human rejects
Cruelty of our kind concentrated

Fiercest of us claim domination
Gain the upper hand, so trivial
Crawling through the mud, the insanity
This apex predator
