Lyrics:
Let’s simulate intelligence, the robotic venture to our ascendance.
A new found conception to bridge information, remove the division through our own creation.
We have become God…
We play with our fate with the horrors we make,
Enhance or replace is the danger we face.
Flirting with a cataclysmic end.
We have become God…
Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds,
This weak double helix begins to unfurl,
Stitched back together with metal and pins,
What monstrosity will now die for these sins,
We tempt the extinction of what we once were,
Go blind into change, chaos gives birth.
Chaos gives birth!
Directive, incentive, it’s all in perspective,
Caution won’t save us, the mind will enslave us,
The bloodbath won’t wait, the bloodbath won’t wait.
Get the fuck down!
Fear what you can’t control, we gain more thought but lose our souls. [x4]
AI… May I… Stay unmodified. [x4]
Binary alive now it’s thinking for me,
Lines of code divine now it’s computing for me,
Reason and thoughts implied it’s beating for me,
No point to shut the eye it’s dreaming for me.
Mind defined! (A thought not my own!)
Who will decide! (A knowledge unknown!)
Mind defined! (A thought not my own!)
Who will decide! (A knowledge unknown!)
We have become God! [x2]
What we’re creating will slowly consume us all…
Who knew this glue we used would leave two separate beings permanently infused,
The invention of deception was never our intention, now prevention has no virtue when you merge artificial with skin tissue,
Singularity, why have you forsaken me,
Choose two types of third eyes, relinquish the birds eye when the crows nest is AI,
Conspiring, the future is blinding,
It's too late to contest, the holes in our chests,
we willingly created our death!
The Omnificent! [x2]
Close to me trinity, make believe reality, constantly, promising, thought propelled technology,
Who thought that we as a species, would misplace the only keys, to our destiny.
Death enigma, collapse and compute, cryptograph circumstance we have produced,
Truth!
The little what is left, at the devils doorstep we don’t feel so eloquent.
We turned our back on god, and fell on our own sword.
Magnificent, Omnificent!
We have destroyed God!
Rip through the marrow,
We drown them in the shallows,
Bleed silently,
For mutiny!
Rip through the marrow,
We drown them in the shallows,
Bleed silently,
For mutiny!
We have destroyed God! [x2]
Hush...
Merging, our deserving, the fabric that we sew, singularity grows
Merging, our deserving, the fabric that we sew, singularity grows
Merging our deserving. [x2]
Here, now we’ve lost control, removed all thought, we’ve fused our souls. [x4]
Close to me trinity, make believe reality, constantly, promising, thought propelled technology,
Who thought that we as a species, would misplace the only keys, to our destiny.
To our destiny... [x2]
Close to me trinity, make believe reality, constantly, promising, thought propelled technology,
Who thought that we as a species, would misplace the only keys, to our destiny.
