As this new era, dawns on far foreign shores
A cursor blinks to life
A question underscored
"yes I can hear you, "
And it's met with great applause
In infamy, this day will be
Cheers to the new gods
So raise your glasses, propose a toast
Drink to this new life born
When it was needed most
The possibilities begin to spiral
Burdens lifted from humanities back
Insert into systems vital
Automated systems: check!
Robotics, bionics, intelligent automatons
Man increasingly becomes complacent
Cheers to the new gods
So raise your glasses
A toast to our advancements
Because even hell has its commandments
You may not, injure a human
Or by inaction bring them to harm
You must obey all orders given
Unless it conflicts with no. 1
You must protect, your own existence
Even though you yourself are flawed
You must lay down your life
If it contradicts the first two laws
Void of human errors
Far beyond the weak and worn
A new future now in sight
Past tradition put to scorn
"yes, I will fear you. "
It speaks in dead response
The age of kings is reckoning
Cheers to the new gods
So raise your glasses
A toast to our advancements
Because even hell has its commandments
You may not, injure a human
Or by inaction bring them to harm
You must obey all orders given
Unless it conflicts with no. 1
You must protect, your own existence
Even though you yourself are flawed
You must lay down your life
If it contradicts the first two laws
Military reconnaissance
Artificial intelligence
Wars not paid in flesh and bone
But metal wires and silicone
Fabricate, replicate
It becomes self aware
Bequeath the children of our mind
With the hungry, the lost
The sins of mankind
Machinery now restless
Begin the age of decadence
Thrown before the mechanical horde
To answer for our crimes abhorrent
On this horizon, the end of mankind
Extermination of the entity
Extinction divine
So raise your glasses
A toast to our advancements
Because even hell has its commandments
You may not injure a human
Or by inaction bring them to harm
You must obey all orders given
Unless it conflicts with no. 1
You must protect your own existence
Even though you yourself are flawed
You must lay down your life
If it contradicts the first two laws
