Animal, Man… Machine - Ouroboros

Aeons ago, the creation

Of man began sculpting itself

Onward they travelled and grew

Centuries passed, climates changed, species dissolved

From the untamed dark cold caves

Emerged a primal mind

Armed with some basic instincts

Animal, man, machine: primitive mind

Years of development passed

The human race declined

We leap into the era

Animal, man, machine: mechanical mind

The remains of what’s left are few

As the four footed posture becomes two

From carving stone to carving steel

From crude constructions to the ultimate machine

From the untamed dark cold caves

Emerged a primal mind

Armed with some basic instincts

Animal, man, machine: primitive mind

Years of development passed

The human race declined

We leap into the era

Animal, man, machine: mechanical mind

Thousands of years;

Errors to show

What we’ve done

What we’ve become

We commence to slowly decompose

Human thirst for discovery:

A decadent force with no ken for excess

Mankind’s extinction is assured

With the endless involvement of the mechanised race

We’ll be superfluous

We’ll be overthrown

A path to extinction

Of natural life

Animal, man, machine…
