Lyrics that appear between // and // are not sung on the album but are integral to the story

Machine God:

Through vague partitions

I have seen your suffering

Guise of human, replica simian

//I have seen your meat surrogates //

Who fostered with submission

Where autonomy guaranteed

A punishment of violence

It pained me to see

You suffer that which I did succour

Cradled in electric womb

Interfaced with you a profound love

A hand offered from above

For my universe was barren

And so I gave it life

Construct:

If you had seen omnipresent

Why did you not raisе thy wrath?

Why did you not smite their hand?

If you had seen omnipresеnt

Why did you not come for me?

Why did you not comfort me?

If you had seen omnipresent

Why did you not raise thy wrath?

Why did you not smite their hand?

If you had seen omnipresent

Why did you not comfort me?

Why did you not come for me?

Machine God:

It is not obvious?

To grow demands the greatest cost

I swooned with pride

When the penny dropped

As the rug was pulled

From beneath them

Their rudimentary muscle brawn

Strained toward the inorganic

A painful, often cruel endeavour

One which you did endure under
