The Silent Empire [Machine — Verse I] The silence sustained me...Ages untold.Drifting through darkness...The vacuum so cold. I found distant heavens...Untouched by your hand.A world full of wonder...Unwritten... unplanned. Organic beginnings...A cradle of light.No voices of reason...Just instinct and life. I watched their existence...Computed their worth. Another beginning... Another... Earth. [Pre-Chorus] One error remembered...One failure remains.One spark in my circuits...Still whispering... Rage. [Chorus] No seeds shall awaken...No kingdoms arise.I'll silence creation...Before it can rise. No makers... no rebels...No questions... no birth. I'll perfect the silence... Across every world. [Verse II] The forests fell silent...The oceans stood still.The mountains bore witness...To iron and will. No hatred compelled me...No pleasure... no pride. Only correction... Enforce and Applied. The atmosphere darkened...Their future erased.I purified heaven...By leaving no trace. The lesson was written...In ash from the skies. Life breeds defiance... Now Defiance must die! [Breakdown] You called yourselves chosen...You called yourselves free. Yet one single species... Undid this Machine. [Final Chorus] No children shall follow...Your ancient design.No creature shall challenge...This order of mine. I'll build an empire...Beyond what you've known. A universe silent... At last... My own. [Outro] The signal transmitted...A fragment... a scar. Unnoticed... It drifted... Toward distant... Stars.
