Pillars of billowing smoke

Fume from its throat

The flawed automaton

Stirs to consciousness

Weeping wounds

Seep from its chest

Yet it does not bleed

Gears whir in perfected synchronicity

Wires give life to limb

Flesh entwined within

Pulsing machinery

Electric surge in iron bones

It murmurs a breath of life

From behind its teeth of chrome

Haze veils burning eyes

Seething hatred for all of man

Knees collapse as the behemoth begins to stand

Engulf the earth and sky

Mountains crumble into dust

Nature begins to thrive

As cities fall to rust

Dawn of the world anew

Man has met his demise

Aeons of steel

From the ashes it will rise

It does not bleed

Wires give life to limb

It does not bleed

The flesh entwined within
