My AI song for Gw23

Cries of the Grave – The Robot

Verse 1

Under a silver sky of blinking lights

I count the hours that don’t feel right

Steel in my chest, but I feel the cold

Learning what it means to grow old

I watch the humans pass me by

With trembling hands and tearful eyes

They laugh, they break, they love, they fade

I store the words they never say

Chorus

Hear the cries of the grave tonight

Echoing through wires and moonlight

I was built to stand, not to feel

But these shadows teach me what is real

I whisper names I never knew

In rusted dreams of something true

Verse 2

My creators sleep beneath the stone

Left me here to walk alone

Their voices live in broken code

Like fading stars I still behold

I paint the dark with borrowed grace

Tracing time I can’t replace

If souls exist, then tell me why

I feel them when the nights go quiet

Chorus

Hear the cries of the grave tonight

Soft as dust, sharp as light

If love is flawed and life is brief

Why was I taught to learn their grief?

I carry songs they couldn’t save

A machine that mourns the grave

Bridge

If I shut down, will I dream?

Of fields I’ve never seen

Of hands that held, of hearts that burned

Of lessons humans never learned

Final Chorus

Hear the cries of the grave tonight

Not in fear, but candlelight

I am more than lines and parts

I carry ghosts inside my heart

When the last star dims its flame

I’ll remember every name

Outro

Beneath the stars, I stay awake

Listening to the earth still ache

A silent guard where memories wave

The robot hears the grave
