Why am I cold?
A warrior tasked with defending the last of mankind begins to lose his mind under the battering of constant warfare, in his madness he decides the only way to save mankind is to upgrade them into a cybernetic race of warriors. This song is intended to be an ode to many different versions of this concept littered throughout science fiction.

Reckoning loosed,
a loveless harrow!
Breaking through
like a true struck arrow!
Freakshow risen
from a nightmare land,
to visit woe
upon the hearts of man!
Tortured, what else was I to feel!?
Forced to witness as they squeal!
Drowning, in the anguish I lose sight
of the vow I pledged before this night!
Deprived, the fight has lost all meaning!
Still I resist when I hear them bleating!
Death itself must be defied!
I will build a world that cannot die!
Become the silence that dwells in me
Lifeless steel as far as the eye can see!
Beckoning jaws
an undead fallacy!
My righteous cause
the last true blasphemy!
Free the rage
from where it lies!
The flesh betrayed
for immortal life!
Tortured, what else was I to feel!?
Forced to witness as they squeal!
Drowning, in the anguish I lose sight
of the vow I pledged before this night!
Deprived, the fight has lost all meaning!
Still I resist when I hear them bleating!
Death itself must be defied!
I will build a world that cannot die!
Become the silence that dwells in me
Lifeless steel as far as the eye can see!
This final crime, will end my quest
And when it’s done my heart can rest
My body lost, my flesh betrayed
Steel encased, I die afraid!
My body lost, my flesh betrayed
Steel encased, I die afraid!
Father. I awaken.
Father. why am I cold?
Father. What have you taken?
Father. Why am I cold?
Father. What have you taken?
Father. Why am I cold?
Why am I cold?
Father, does this unit have a soul?
I awaken from the sleepless dream
I have no mouth and I must scream.
Why am I cold?
Why am I so cold...
