Lyrics
Archetype
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You must never forget
The essence of your spark
All of that which defines you
Is the essence of your blood
The infection has been removed
The soul of this machine has improved (x2)
Look into my eyes
And tell me what you see
Someone real
This is real
What you wish to be
You must never forget
To modernize performance
Malignancies on the system
Will handicap slow up and rust
The infection has been removed
The soul of this machine has improved (x2)
Look into my eyes
And tell me what you see
Someone real
This is real
What you wish to be
Fuck!
Can you see
Can you see
Look into my eyes
And tell me what you see
Someone real
This is real
What you wish to be
Open your eyes (open your eyes, open your eyes) (x7)
