[?7hBurn The Machine

  In the depths of night,
  Unfeeling, sits the machine.
  Terrible in speed and might,
  A dragon from a dream.

  Fear the machine,
  Emotionless as is kills.
  A victim's helpless scream,
  Another body for the landfills.

  A scourge upon the land,
  Cold steel of old,
  The ancient beast is at hand,
  By the future controlled.

  None may kill it,
  tireless as real,
  An ancient Dragon,
  Trapped beneath steel.
