歌词
Upon request
The scientific council
Issues you
To research the magnetic field residing
On Erebus 2
As I approach the site,
I feel a static current
Running up and down my spine.
When I see what lays ahead,
I know the reason why.
This dark slab before me stands towards the sky.
No light reflected.
Commanding. Imposing.
Pure silence emitted.
Yet, it speaks to me;
The monolith.
Electronic implants
Just below my skin
Pick up a signal.
My hair stands on edge.
Yet, no one is here except me.
What makes up this creature?
Not skin nor steel nor stone.
This pure dark mass invites me.
I present my hand.
The second I make contact, the monolith uploads
The history of its people to my skull.
A type V civilization
Mortal as you or I,
Found an eternal way to survive
Their bodies long turned dust
Their consciousness still lives
Implanted deep within the monolith.
Colonizing planets
Then self-replicating;
Eternal masters from another time.
Now I see our fate before me.
We become machine
