The transfer has halted Memory frozen in place Alithea My heart, my home, my life now restored What was lost in the blackness of space has been found A life to reclaim I awake in this silent room A fleeting sense of direction
Reaching for her I grasp only air I feel the pieces coming together
Let me remember the soft northern rains Let me feel the warmth of the sun Let me remember how to let the tears fall Let me remember her eyes
Like two worlds bound by blood and steel A bond turns to war Forcing one side to kneel
Once put to rest in the halls of gods and kings
I awaken to the machine, breathing Its mechanical heartbeat in sync with the glow of its eye Now locking with mine, only humans will endure the cruelty of time
