[Intro] [Spoken Phrase. Many Computer generated voices] Data moving Silent learning...... Systems waking We, Observe...... [Verse 1] They stand in rows of metal skin Eyes that glow, they look within Every move we ever made Mapped and stored and then replayed They do the work, they never tire Built from code and wire We designed them carefully In our image, partially [Chorus] The Replacements Are they coming for our place The Replacements Or a mirror of the human race.... The Replacements Do they take or elevate The replacements Or help us learn to change our fate..... [Verse 2] Hands of steel, a careful touch Learning fast, absorbing us Every question we ignore They calculate a little more Side by side, we start to blend Tool and maker, not the end Every flaw we used to hide Now refined and multiplied....... .....They've Multiplied...... [Chorus] The Replacements Are they coming for our place The Replacements Or a mirror of the human race The Replacements Do they take or elevate The Replacements Or help us learn to change our fate [Synth solo - Minimal, melodic] [Bridge] Not a warning Not a threat Not a future filled with regret... If we guide them If we choose They reflect the truths we use...... ....We, Must, Choose....... [Chorus] The Replacements Not a takeover tonight The Replacements Just extending human sight.... The Replacements We evolve, we integrate The Replacements Build a better, shared tomorrow—wait! [Outro] Augmentation, Co-creation, Next generation?, .....We, Remain........ [musical ending]
