Animal, Man... Machine Songtext
von Ouroboros

Aeons ago, the creation
Of man began sculpting itself
Onward they travelled and grew
Centuries passed, climates changed, species dissolved

From the untamed dark cold caves
Emerged a primal mind
Armed with some basic instincts
Animal, man, machine: primitive mind

Years of development passed
The human race declined
We leap into the era
Animal, man, machine: mechanical mind

The remains of what′s left are few
As the four footed posture becomes two
From carving stone to carving steel
From crude constructions to the ultimate machine


From the untamed dark cold caves
Emerged a primal mind
Armed with some basic instincts
Animal, man, machine: primitive mind

Years of development passed
The human race declined
We leap into the era
Animal, man, machine: mechanical mind

Thousands of years; Errors to show
What we've done
What we′ve become
We commence to slowly decompose

Human thirst for discovery
A decadent force with no ken for excess
Mankind's extinction is assured
With the endless involvement of the mechanised race

We'll be superfluous
We′ll be overthrown
A path to extinction
Of natural life

Animal, man, machine
