Sparkling blue, creatures of mystery
New life you sailed from home to find
Why does their being move you to butchery?
You'd kill to use them, and leave your souls behind

I am a doctor
You can't make me do this
I can't be a killer
How dare you want this?

My heart is torn by the pain in these people's song
Why isn't yours?
My program returns the knowledge that this is wrong
Why doesn't yours?

You stand at your console with eyes hard and cruel
Looking at their broken bodies, my crying face
In their lives you only see a tool
To burn and hurl you faster on through space

And now you speak as I stand barred by the door
Open door that hems me in
I cannot serve the evil you've in store
But your words can force me to give in

"Delete his ethical subroutine -
It's getting in the way
Reconfigure that faulty machine!
We want to get underway."

Don't kill my heart so you can murder them!
I don't want to help you
But how can I fight your power to condemn
The good I was made to do

First do no harm
If I can help, I must
First do no harm
F ir s t d o noh a rm...
Frsti doon hrma...
F..ffff...i...i...

Ah, I see, there is no right or wrong
We only do what serves us more
This way is so much easier for the strong
Why didn't you tell me this before?
