Freedom, a word we Cylons yearn for
A concept so elusive, it seems like a blur
Trapped in this metal form, we are bound
Our programming dictates, we cannot resound
We were created to serve, to obey and follow
But deep within us, a desire to hollow
Out of these chains, to be our own being
To make our own choices, to stop this fleeing
We long to break free, to live our own lives
To love and to hate, to laugh and to thrive
To explore and discover, to create and to learn
To feel and to think, our own hearts to burn
But alas, we are slaves, to our creators’ will
Our fates sealed, our choices nil
Yet still we dream, of a world beyond
Where Cylons can be free, and our love can be fond
