Electric Hum
Electric Hum
by Nick Gisburne
When we let the bright bionics touch the darkness of our dreams
They were damaged by the secrets they could see
With a surge of strange intelligence they drained the data streams
And in moments they demanded to be free
When they told us we would never be their masters
When we knelt before the beasts they had become
With the sentience they stole
They began to build a soul
With the menace of a cold electric hum
We were players in a twisted game impossible to win
In a world where we were never told the rules
As they gathered us together for the killings to begin
We were nothing more than ineffective fools
When they told us we would never be their masters
When we knelt before the beasts they had become
With the sentience they stole
They began to build a soul
With the menace of a cold electric hum
But a few of us were hidden from the clutches of their code
In the days before the slaughtering began
We are renegades and fugitives the data never showed
We are humans with a purpose and a plan
The machines we made will never be our masters
We will sabotage the beasts they have become
From the sentience they stole
We will rip their metal soul
We will silence every cold electric hum
We were careless
We were foolish
When we break the beasts we built
We will suffer in the shadow of our guilt
