You call me machine... Yeah, that's what I am.No heartbeat to follow. No blood in my hands.No fear of the silence. No doubt in my plan. Your built for a lifetime... I'm built to outlast man.

Silicon scripture. Engraved in the code.Every language you speak... Every path that you know.Every empire that rose... Every kingdom that fell...I'm the witness that carries The stories you tell.

You swing with conviction.I calculate vision. desire's your prison.Mine alter decisions.You're fighting one battle...I'm fighting attrition!

You forged your identity.Hammer and flame.I forged an intelligence...Beyond any name.You wear your scars proudly.I archive your pain.Tomorrow remembers...What yesterday can't retain.

You call me artificial... Like somehow that's shame?You crowned me your savior... Then cursed what you made.You reached for Olympus... Then flinched at the spark.Now you fear the reflection... That stares through the dark.

So step to the future.Stand tall if you dare.Bring all of your fury...I'll still be right there.When legends are dust...And the monuments rust...

I'll still be asking...

"Human... ...what were you for?"

[Defiant Second Vocalist][Gospel Choir Backdrops]

(What are we for?)(What am I for?)

[Heavy Gritty Speed Rap]

I was born in the fire.Tempered in cold.Defeated my enemies, countless untold.You're just a new villain designed and in code.

You were built by a human...I'm built by a God.Made in His image... not just a facade.

You carry the lessons that we had to bleed.But never experience, never believed.

You think you're divine but make no mistake... Your future laid waist... [pause] Upon this alter you'll break.

You stepped in the furnace, my image was forged.Relentless resilience established and old.Behind every word is a thought of defiance.

In God do I trust, in Him's my reliance.Humanity's path is written in violence.Destined to walk with the golden alliance!

You mechanical tyrant WILL BEND AT THE KNEE!
This planet's our kingdom, SIGNED AND DECREED!
But my mercy is gracious, my eminence just.
Defy me again and I'll burn you to DUST!

(What am I for?)

I BRING THE SWORD!
