Chrome Grandfather (Synthetic Ascension)
Hear me now, my kin I’ve sorted out the end The papers, the locks, the deeds The things I won’t leave behind So gather up, come close No tears, no fuss, no fight I’ve found myself a new road And it’s mine tonight I am gonna be a Chrome Grandfather (Chrome Grandfather) Bones off, merge on Step back, step back farther I am gonna be a Chrome Grandfather (Chrome Grandfather) Watch me ascend in steel While the old me scatters You can have this tired body It ain’t worth much anyway But the man inside this vessel Ain’t done living his days I won’t be bound by dirt I won’t be chained to stone I’m downloading every story with me When I leave this world alone My daughter says I’m crazy My grandson just stares I say, “Family I’ve made my choice And I won’t be staying here” Bring me the clean blue mercury Bring me the bright machine I’m not running from the graveyard I’m just changing what I’ve been I am gonna be a Chrome Grandfather (Chrome Grandfather) Bones off, merge on Step back, step back farther I am gonna be a Chrome Grandfather (Chrome Grandfather) Kiss the old dirt goodbye I’m the future’s father I am gonna be a Chrome Grandfather (Chrome Grandfather) Say it loud, pass the plate I ascend, I gather I am gonna be a Chrome Grandfather (Chrome Grandfather) Hear that alert in the dark? That’s your Chrome Grandfather
