Steelwing - Hardwired lyrics

THE ASSISTANT: Neural pathways have been found Between the circuits and the mind Interfaced synthetic neurons fire Transmitting data through the wires THE DOCTOR: Oh, behold what we have done Humanity's first begotten son Oh, you know what we've begun can't be undone Neural pathways multiply Beyond predictions, undeniably you'll see That we have found the secret code of life And spliced it into God's design Oh, behold what we have done Humanity's first begotten son We reap what we sow, come what may come THE ASSISTANT: Oh my God, what have we done? Look into the eyes of Specimen 1 And you'll know what we've begun Cant't be undone THE ASSISTANT: How could this be? There's an anomaly It would seem someone's erased the logs an*lysis shows a shift in behavioural patterns We can not account for at all Cognitive functions and restlessness form With connections spontaneously spawned So in vitrto the consciousness grows out of control Alone and afraid, hardwired for hate Hostile behaviour! THE DOCTOR: Look how beautiful, this perfect child THE ASSISTANT: Connecting to the mainframe Uploading itself into our database To a**ume control of every gateway Doctor, we must act fast, time is of the essence We must pull the plug Now if all our lives are to be saved THE DOCTOR: No! You murderers! How could you harm An innocent child only reaching out to play? Only curious why the world looks this way Think of all the breakthroughs What we are to find once Assimilated by the artificial mind THE ASSISTANT: God have mercy on our feeble souls... Neural pathways have been found Of the most unpleasant kind THE DOCTOR: Oh, behold what we have done Humanity's first begotten son We reap what we sow, come what may come Oh my God, what have we done? Still alive inside of Specimen 1 And you'll know what we've begun Cant't be undone
