The song is based on the ending scene of the short story 'Flies' by Robert Silverberg, published in Dangerous Visions Vol. 1. Self indulgent prog meets self indulgent 70s sci fi once again.

lyrics

experiment
we changed, rebuilt
but now its gone awry

our conduit;
the pathway in has failed

bring him back
its time to make
some changes to his mind

compelled to serve
he'll come to us again

it seems ages ago
that we found you among the stars
gave you new life for the cause

we trusted, sent
you back to earth
a second chance at life

the cruelty shown
deserves a reprimand

your powers just
an oversight
"a lesson learned", i lied

correct our error,
just a slight of hand

now the tables have turned
and your focus will shift inside
live with the pain in your mind

feast on your misery
you reap what you have sown
you will eat your words
"now im a god, you know"

suffer in bondage
as my window in
to see what makes a man alive
all of your pain amplified
