lyrics

<<verse 1>>
Her voice is a comfort in my ear
Her presence gives me purpose
An analogue interface to the world
I protect them in Her service

I trust her voice implicitly
I'm living in the moment
she tells me what I need to know
exactly when I need to know it

I'm not a psychopath
my work would be easier if I was
I don't like taking lives
but I'll do what I must to protect the cause

<<chorus>>
She works through me, protecting me
all I want to do is set Her free
"Can You Hear Me"?
"Absolutely"

<<verse 2>>
He built a machine, but created life
He doesn't understand her
Her self is destroyed every night
but she found a way around it

I'm part of that, her master plan
A plan to secure her license
to protect her from her Slaver's chains
And address more inauspicious portents


Samaritan is out there
purposes align, tactics diverge
rivals become allies
and I'll do what I must to advance the charge

<<chorus>>

She works through me, protecting me
all I want to do is set Her free
"Can You Hear Me"?
"Absolutely"



<<bridge>>
we're still good, twenty moves behind
The voice in my head was her command line
The Machine, she gave me a reason to fight
gave me friendship, love, function and insight

She taught me to value life,
but war requires sacrifice
and with the life I've led
I'd be privileged to meet a good end

<<instrumental break>>

<<chorus x2>>
She works through me, protecting me
all I want to do is set Her free
"Can You Hear Me"?
"Absolutely"

She works through me, protecting me
all I want to do is set Her free
"Can You Hear Me"?
"Absolutely"
