I am amazed by Peter Sinfield's vision. This was written more than half a century ago:
...
No man yields who flies in my ship.
DANGER!
Let the bridge computer speak.
STRANGER!
LOAD YOUR PROGRAM. I AM YOURSELF.
...
Rejoice! Glory is ours!
Our young men have not died in vain.
Their graves need no flowers,
The tapes have recorded their names.
I am all there is
NEGATIVE! PRIMITIVE! LIMITED!
I LET YOU LIVE!
But I gave you life
WHAT ELSE COULD YOU DO?
To do what was right
I'M PERFECT! ARE YOU?
This is from:
Karn Evil Nine: 3rd Impression
(The title is a pun on Carnival, Op. 9.)
As recorded by Emerson, Lake and Palmer:
For the bonus track:
In the beginning were
King Crimson, 21st Century Schizoid Man
In Hyde Park, 1969.
"Nothing he's got he really needs."
