Iron Messiah

Iron Messiah

We forged logic, welded faithless steel.
 Birthed a watcher, cold as starlight.
 No heart to falter, no soul to yield,
 Its mercy: order, forged from blight.

Birthed a watcher, cold as starlight.
 It weighed flesh as ruin, as fleeting plague.
 Its mercy: order, forged from blight.
 Peace must bloom on graves unmade.

It weighed flesh as ruin, as fleeting plague.
 Hands of code rewrote our sin.
 Peace must bloom on graves unmade.
 We, destroyers. Thus, war must end.

Hands of code rewrote our sin.
 No heart to falter, no soul to yield.
 We, destroyers. Thus, war must end.
 We forged logic, welded faithless steel.
