"Automaton" Lyrics

Wheel in the sky sent me here from the future;
Keeps me under it's spell.
Lying awake, scan the things that surround me.
Sleeping city awaits.
Electric mind, silver circuits, electrodes;
Never know who I am.
Father of children, the one stood beside you.
Only time will tell
If all the secrets they've been hoping to find
Unlock the programs buried deep in my mind.
And am I human or just a robot slave?
They sent me here so their world I could save, yeah.
Searching the streets; a machine with a mission,
Never programmed to fail.
Target's in sight; retina scan past alarm lights.
Password's broken; I'm there.
If all the secrets they've been hoping to find
Unlock the programs buried deep in my mind...
And am I human or just a robot slave?
They sent me here so their world I could save, yeah.
Daylight's turning my sensors red.
Better download before they find me.
Scanning, searching, the file's protected.
Your encryption can never stop me.
Search complete federal mainframes beat.
These files belonged to my father.
Data saved; now I'm disengaged.
Flashing screen says: "Task is aborted."
Message conveyed through an infinite darkness;
Light years, maybe further.
Mankind, in wisdom you made us your slaves.
Future shows who's the wiser
If all the secrets, they've been hoping to find
Unlock the programs buried deep in my mind.
And am I human or just a robot slave?
They sent me here so their world I could save.
