Automaton Lyrics - Jones Howard

He arrived on the scene 

With no past and no future 

He seemed to know your dreams 

Replace tears with laughter 

Street corner whispers 

Would mention his name 

Selfish? Benevolent? 

What was his game 

Some say he's perfect 

Some say a spy 

A hidden power 

They all wonder why 

The rumors mounted 

But still no fact? 

I need to find out 

Some say perfect hidden power 

We all wonder why 

Questions unanswered 

Suspicion alerted 

I went round to his place 

If felt quite deserted 

I climbed the stairs to where 

His body lay without motion 

No spirit lives in there 

The cord had been broken 

His skin was reptile 

No life in there 

Not young not old 

A long hollow glare 

His breath had stopped 

No hearts beat there 

Is this a man 

Should I believe hidden power 

They all wondered why 

My attention was caught 

By a sound from the door 

Panic gripped the mind 

What lay in store 

A being stared at me 

Benevolent, not cold 

Automaton - He is controlled 

His skin was reptile..... 

Automaton - No life in there 

No past and no future 

Is this a man 

Automaton - No life in there 

No past and not future 

Is this a man
