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 rumours 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
