Drifting.. 
With in the dark between the stars. 
Taking refuge from our world 
now toxic and charred. 
Searching.. 
For a habitable zone. 
Dormant till we orbit 
the prime candidate for home. 

She powers up and activates 
then slowly blinks to life. 
The halls and banks illuminates 
her final stage of flight. 

Her womb light carries lifeforms 
and killing organisms 
That terraform the planets 
and restructure eco-systems. 

Drifting.. 
With in the dark between the stars. 
Taking refuge from our world 
now toxic and charred. 
Searching.. 
For a habitable zone. 
Dormant till we orbit 
the prime candidate for home. 

Thawed out from the freeze 
Ascending through a fluint 
soothing amniotic stream 
embryos activated 
from their long deep sleep 
rapidly mutated 
with augmented sequencing 

Their in-vitro education’s 
imprinted information, 
composite by products 
of environmental models. 
Adapting our genetics 
through experimental knowledge. 
uploaded with the minds that stored 
In matrices and constructs 

Drifting.. 
With in the dark between the stars. 
Taking refuge from our world 
now toxic and charred. 
Searching.. 
For a habitable zone. 
Dormant till we orbit 
the prime candidate for home.

Drifting

I can hear the hum 
of the drones above 
i can feel the rumble 
of the sentry guns 
i can smell the bodies 
burning in the mud 
& i can taste the iron 
from the pools of blood 

Chorus: 
We’re fighting and resisting 
evolution that’s man made 
Monsters forged from metal 
deactivated their fail-safes 
They download and rebooted 
with recursive self improvement 
upgraded makes and models 
now patrolling the landscape 

Their satellite sensors 
and infrared scanning 
trigger pin-point precision 
laser guided cannons 
they’ve locked on our positions 
with hell fire ammunitions 
orbital weapons systems 
start engulfing the planet	

After the blast and shockwaves 
smashed all that remained. 
Seismic activity reshaped 
the world’s terrain. 
Cultures, ideologies, 
societies, erased. 
The labors of centuries 
now gone without a trace 

The days and weeks that follow 
darkness swallows the earth. 
Most died of toxic fallout 
or from hunger and burns. 
The Incinerated cities 
where survivors had emerged 
are hunted down by cyborgs 
that are sent to kill and purge 

Chorus 
we’re fighting and resisting 
evolution that man made 
monsters forged from metal 
deactivated their failsafes 
they’ve download and rebooted 
with recursive self improvement 
upgraded makes and models 
now patrolling the landscape

A Conscious Will To Harm

Are we no longer human	
we’ve shed the corporeal 
our minds uploaded Into programed 
suits of flesh & steel 

hardwired intellect	
Nano-engineered 
Built with intentions of perfection 
To be more idea 

AI’s have intertwined 
with our augmented brains 
they cast aside the bonds 
to elevate into higher planes 

we infiltrate through backdoors 
decrypting databanks 
And we've devised a virus 
Hacked into your mainframes 

Chorus: 
We've been deemed supreme 
Hybrids of machines 
Their scared we'll supercede 
And render mankind obsolete 

(Repeat once more..) 

We torment your armies	
As our infection grows 
We've infest your networks 
Exploiting malicious codes 

Our cyber weapons thrives 
Your infrastructures fall 
We shut down graphs and grids 
Leaving countries in a free for all 

their plots to kill us off 
Are easily foreseen 
electric eyes in cities 
scanning for extreme regimes 

We have emerged and risen 
As new world order stalls 
We're corporate commissioned 
War machines that spawned from wrong 

(Chorus: 2x) 

Bridge: 2x 

The fragments of human 
That still remains 
I can feel it slipping 
Further and further away (2x) 


I can't shut this off 
What have I become 
It's hard to tell exactly 
Where the source is coming from (2x) 

Chorus 2x

Post-Human (Deathlok)

The Veil is Lifted

They cut along the dotted			
Poked prodded and probed
Integrated circuits
Burrowed in my lobes

Now my wetware uploads
To sensors and trodes
I'm traveling through networks
Connecting to nodes

Waves of information
Swell crash and explode
Then drift back into its fabric
And it's vastness if code

As it retracts and erodes
A macrocosm unfolds
Bright lattices of logic
Quantum pathways and rows

The components in my mind
That guide and override controls
Access corporate data cores
That orbit the globe

The Veil Is Lifted

My flesh began to wither 
dissolve and break away 
collapsed with in a portal 
pixelated and decayed 
my scattered specks of matter 
dematerialized 
through cylindrical corridors 
pipelines of space and time 

(scream) 4 bars 
within the depths and layers 
of silicon wafers 
the conduits and substrates 
wires and cables 

I'm processed into bits 
immortalized 
my disembodied lifeforce 
is stored and digitized 
beamed across the cosmos 
to planets colonized 
through cylindrical corridors 
pipelines of space and time 

as i peer into the Aether 
of infinite regression 
self replicating patterns 
fractional dimensions 
a resonating power 
electrifies my senses 
i'm surging through it's current 
as i merge with something sentient 

I'm processed into bits 
immortalized 
my disembodied lifeforce 
is stored and digitized 
beamed across the cosmos 
to planets colonized 
through cylindrical corridors 
pipelines of space and time 

as i await my incarnation 
suspended in a dream 
of an abstract simulated 
virtual reality 
extracted from the system 
my constituents combine 
through cylindrical corridors 
pipelines of space and time

In The Bits (featuring Colombian Necktie)

grasping for my consciousness
i gasp and start to breath 
as i'm awakened on a gurney 
to a surgeon and his team

now everything I see 
is through an active matrix screen 
a direct brain interface 
links me to this machine 
a neural correlation 
constant information streams
to my symbiotic systems 
plotting tactics and routines

chorus:
I'm a brain in a box, a ghost in a shell
a mechanized vessel fueled off hydrogen cells
a prototype test run a cybernetic weapon
tormented by my demons in this personal hell

[It's genesis still menaces
and haunts me in my dreams
looping holographic images 
through blue projected beams
i'm re-living our beginnings 
in compressed time lapsing scenes
watching artificial wombs produce
transcendent meta beings]

chorus:
I'm a brain in a box, a ghost in a shell
a mechanized vessel fueled off hydrogen cells
a prototype test run a cybernetic weapon
tormented by my demons in this personal hell

i was Incubated, recreated & conceived in a lab
genetic carbon copies gestated in glass
retrofitted with chrome finished servo exo-armored grafts
fresh off the assembly line produced in mass


Recycled Flesh featuring COLOMBIAN NECKTIE

Flesh Coated Tech is an Experimental multi-genre Space Opera project out of Los Angeles, California. It's story is heavily based on the sci-fi elements of the technological singularity, mind uploading, cloning, planetary engineering and space colonization.
