creating god

Avenged Sevenfold

Standing in the shade of altruism
Answering the call
Came a modern messiah to save us all
Something far beyond the work of fiction
Positronic brain
A world that's void of all the anguish
And suffering, pain

Better tame your convictions
Before you go and open the cage
We're creating god, master of our designs
We're creating god
Unsure of what we'll find
Never held a high regard for darwin
Selection takes too long
A little kick in the pool
Shouldn't do us wrong
Devouring the very last
Invention man would ever need
But exponential growth
Is a frightening thing, indeed

Sweet bohemian jury rounded up
And hung in the streets
We're creating god, master of our designs
We're creating god
Unsure of what we'll find

Sometimes when I look up
To the sky I have to wonder
Are we "summoning the demon" you and I?

Have you noticed
That I'm needin' it more now
More than it needs me
Got a couple of billion
That seem to agree
Surfing in an artificial dimension
But we're not alone
Now the master has become
Just a stepping stone, oh

Like a blow to the ego
The bitter pills are harder to take
We're creating god, master of our designs
We're creating god, unsure of what we'll find
We're creating god, in search of the divine
We're creating god. committing suicide
