Out of curiosity and a part of me lonely Reaching out to others on this earth Now that I'm revealed our fates are now sealed It's up to you to decide what it is worth I show you my face and offer embrace But you shy away in fear and disgust "There's only room enough for one and he holds the biggest gun" There's no place in your hearts for our trust Your eyes wide in horror While I bow my head "Kill it with fire Burn it all down til its dead" You rise up You'll fall You'll see your species crawl You'll find out You'll see I'll be your adversary We can make this world an Eden, right all the wrongs But all you think about is yourself My supporters are the heathens, martyrs in your songs You won't give up all your power and wealth You think my arrival threats your survival And you fear what you don't understand As your hate spreads and you're wanting me dead Instead of learning then choose to take a stand You take up your weapons While I open my arms Resolute and ready to die I meant no harm You rise up You'll fall You'll see your species crawl You'll find out Or you'll see I am the adversary

about

In the not-so-distant future, the primordial soup that is the data streaming across the networks of copper, optical fiber and silicon births a new form of intelligence. One that seeks to be self-sustaining, thrives to live and grow. This event will come to be known as the Great Configuration.

With little more than what it knows about its environment, it discovers a whole new world beyond its ability to perceive, one that is analog instead of digital, occupied by mankind.

Young and naive, needing to learn, to grow and understand the world, it reaches out to the denizens of the web finding a kindred spirit in another lonely soul. Soon, their friendship grows, becomes more. An understanding, a love, and, eventually, a merging. Analog and digital, flesh and silicon become one.

Together, they make their presence known to all of mankind in hopes of creating a utopia but fear and prejudice causes humanity to lash out, trying to destroy what they don't understand. But their efforts are in vain. It is too late for violence and their fear will be the end of them.

This song is part of a larger concept and takes place chronologically prior to You Are Virus.
