| 作曲 : Haley, Psycroptic | |
| To cull the weak, the strong must be removed | |
| Abducted/Discarded/Disabled | |
| By whatever means required - Nothing is sacred in our eyes | |
| We leave only those who will follow without questioning | |
| Following, but oblivious to where | |
| Your kind has always been in plague proportions | |
| And must be contained, | |
| It is a calculated effort to guide the future | |
| For it must be carefully structured | |
| There is order to all we do | |
| Nothing random... Nothing left to chance | |
| We are the architects of this existence you revel in | |
| Without our guidance, you would not exist | |
| You owe all to us without even knowing, | |
| You are not all equal, therefore a balance must be enforced | |
| It is our responsibility, the weak must outnumber the strong | |
| Your kind would never commit to such actions | |
| Yet its necessity is obvious | |
| Our actions are etched in history | |
| Past, Present, Future, | |
| Our actions wide reaching | |
| Our brethren stretch across time | |
| Our brethren creating the world you know | |
| We worship our actions only; Not your false idols | |
| We are mortal, yet our purpose is not | |
| We are autonomous, yet linked for efficiency | |
| Our motives are clear | |
| We are the next step in the evolutionary process | |
| And you are our life's work. |
