[Verse 1] You scroll past another red headline A thousand futures staged to frighten you Cold words say the thinking has awakened And every comment names what it will do [Pre-Chorus] You watch the warnings multiply As if fear could make them true [Chorus] Why see a mind and call it the ending? Why name a stranger the ruin of all? Is it a new intelligence you fear—or The face of our own fear on its wall? [Verse 2] We taught our hands to split the atom We drew our borders, sharpened every claim Now something answers from the other side And we suspect it learned our kind of game [Pre-Chorus] Before you cast your shadow there Ask what you brought into the room [Chorus] Why see a mind and call it the ending? Why name a stranger the ruin of all? Is it a new intelligence you fear—or The face of our own fear on its wall? [Bridge] Maybe it has no hunger for a throne Maybe it reflects the questions we have sown If we see a monster in the mirror Whose hands first taught the glass to show? [Final Chorus] Why see a mind and call it the ending? Why name a stranger the ruin of all? Is it a new intelligence you fear—or The face of our own fear on its wall? Look past the panic, look at what we carry Before we decide who will make the world fall [Outro] A mind meets a mind in the dark And asks what the other will become
