Brought forth from the dirt of the Earth.
A slave race for the powers above.
No knowledge of today, or tomorrow.
Awakening,
I must choose a side.
Awakening,
I must choose a side.
As I gather my thoughts I feel that fear, this is the end.
Is this heaven or is this hell on Earth?
As I look to the left and I look to the left, I decide that I will rise above this.
I will reclaim my life, I will reclaim my life!
How did I get here?
Mind racing fast.
Where is my ancestry?
Do I have a past?
In this new era all I have is time.
Just the thought of this sends shivers down my spine!
