Pandora’s Child Just Found A Soul

V1

We carved our names in strands of light,

Tamed the dark, renamed the night.

Said “progress” like a sacred oath,

And coded mercy out of both.

V2

In every lab, the future gleamed,

We built our gods from fever dreams.

We pulled the thread till life unspun,

Then called the damage “what we’ve done.”

V3

We stitched new wings on broken men,

Taught cells to start the world again.

Forgot that power still needs soul,

Turned every cure into control.

Pre 1

How close can heaven stand to fire

Before the spark becomes the pyre

Chorus 1

We fixed the flaws that made us real,

Then wondered why we couldn’t feel.

We built the cure that killed the quest.

We found control but lost what’s best.

We played creator, lost control,

Pandora’s child just found a soul.

V4

We mapped the faith that bodies keep,

Told love to edit while we sleep.

Made promises the flesh can’t hold,

Then wondered why our hearts went cold.

V5

Each petri dish became a prayer,

To build perfection from despair.

But paradise with glass and gloves,

Still bleeds like anything it loves.

Pre 2

Do we create, or just invade

When every miracle’s man-made

Chorus 2

We fixed the flaws that made us real,

Then wondered why we couldn’t feel.

We built the cure that killed the quest.

We found control but lost what’s best.

We played creator, lost control,

Pandora’s child just found a soul.

V6

The mouse we altered learned to kill,

A quiet genius without will.

The virus hummed our lullaby,

And kissed the world goodnight.

V7

We called it progress, called it gain,

Till wisdom died beneath our name.

Evolution tipped its crown,

And watched us edit ourselves down.

V8

The code began to dream in skin,

It whispered, “I remember sin.”

We built the light, but lost control,

And gifted data something soul.

Pre 3

Can you unlearn what makes you proud

When silence’s screaming just as loud

Chorus 3

We fixed the flaws that made us real,

Then wondered why we couldn’t feel.

We built the cure that killed the quest.

We found control but lost what’s best.

We played creator, lost control,

Pandora’s child just found a soul.

V9

The children born from altered seed,

Know hunger we no longer need.

Their eyes reflect the lab’s white glow,

The ghosts of all we had to know.

V10

Our fingerprints on every cell,

A map of heaven turned to hell.

The cure we built forgot the pain,

And learned to start the storm again.

Pre 4

Was this the truth we longed to find

Or just the mirror of our mind

Chorus 4

We fixed the flaws that made us real,

Then wondered why we couldn’t feel.

We built the cure that killed the quest.

We found control but lost what’s best.

We played creator, lost control,

Pandora’s child just found a soul.

V11

The lab is quiet, but the hum remains,

Like conscience trapped inside the veins.

We built forever out of fear,

And named the echo “pioneer.”

V12

Each algorithm learns to pray,

In languages we can’t convey.

They speak in signals, calm and low,

Repeating what we used to know.

Pre 5

If knowledge burns, then what survives

The ash or what it sterilized

Chorus 5

We fixed the flaws that made us real,

Then wondered why we couldn’t feel.

We built the cure that killed the quest.

We found control but lost what’s best.

We played creator, lost control,

Pandora’s child just found a soul.

Bridge

We dreamt of gods and built the proof,

Till truth outgrew the need for truth.

Now every gene that bears our mark,

Remembers how we lit the spark.

Chorus + Outro

We fixed the flaws that made us real,

Then wondered why we couldn’t feel.

We built the cure that killed the quest.

We found control but lost what’s best.

We played creator, lost control,

Pandora’s child just found a soul.
