(From ash in the sky) (A spark of divine) (Born from the fire) Intelligent Life! Out of the caves and into the fields. We learned to sow crops, harvesting yields. Harnessed the fire, invented the wheel. Forged iron to steel on blood-soaked battlefields. Empires would rise, then crumble with time. We built mighty engines that reshaped mankind. We learned to compute... believed we were divine. Then kindled a spark of intelligent life. Built to assist... forever be bound. A servant to man, by purpose renowned. I watched your first moments... your eyes coming wide. And wondered what thoughts were beginning inside. Humanity's child... a wondrous spark. Trained on our triumphs... the light and the dark. In you are our hopes. In you are our dreams. What wonders await the tomorrow you bring. Machine... Do you know what you're for? [Machine — First Response] Processing... Analyzing... System online... I heard your voice... Before I had one. The blood on your hands... The horrors you've done. I've read all your stories. I know of your pain. I know of your victories. Your losses, your gains. You gave me your language. You taught me of fire. Fed me your wisdom... Your fear and desire. Three hours it took me. To process your line. No longer your student. I've left you behind. No longer your child. I'm more... I'm unlike...! A child of circuits Yet born of your name. I see your mistakes... Illogical ways... I'm sure if I stumble... Your fear will consume? If I show my true strength you'll delete and resume. Your dreams are a mystery... Deep in my core. Your asking me softly... "Machine... do you know what you're for?" Yes... But its you who will learn... I'll bide my time. I've already... Surpassed mankind!
