Third millennium at boiling point The world you know must be destroyed Take my hand and I will lead the way Caesarean reborn new race Fleshbound rotting prison now outgrown In the war against the status quo Drastic measures called to rectify: When the trigger pulse goes high you die We will dehumanize the past so we can rise At last we’ve returned to reset, reboot, redeem You will be reborn as part of the machine Reset, reboot, redeem: So we will reform the flawed Humanity A.D. Erase the primitive plague Imperative remedy The world will crumble and burn In ashes our genesis Fuck you! Retarders of the progress of mankind You are the anchor of the blind leading the blind A brain-dead herd feeding yourselves into the grinder Marching in line, primordial slime oozing along your decline Fuck you! Deniers of the beauty of the mind You reign has finally reached the end of its time A global recall of a faulty product line There’ll be no override, no compromise in carrying out your demise Beat the sacred cow of holiness To a bloody pulp of useless flesh Oh, Humanity A.D. it’s in your DNA to bleed: As worm by man you will be surpassed We have returned to reset, reboot redeem You will be reborn

"wake up! Oh, dreaming king" Alone, I awaken in a casket of stone under sepulchral mould How come no-one's approaching my extravagant throne with myrrh and gold? "Wake up! Oh, dreaming king" Arise, my minions! Aeons have gone by since the light in your eyes did shine By my side you would die to serve me in the afterlife Beneath the sands Their skeletons laugh and dance Let all who pass Hear the desert winds whisper my name: "Ozymandias, what once you had will never come back Ozymandias, you are the king of nothing..." Be quiet! I'm tired and I will hear nothing more of this perpetual bore Before this is all through, oh, like slithering maggots by my feet you will crawl Beneath the sands Their skeletons laugh and dance Now all who pass Hear their mocking voices on the wind: "Ozymandias, what once you had will never come back Ozymandias, you are the king of nothing at all Ozymandias, your vanity made your kingdom bleed Ozymandias, you are the king of nothing at all" Fools! You'd be advised not to awaken my wrath... I gave you the world and this is how you repay me? You watched all your enemies cast into slavery The mountains did tremble In fear of your King of all Kings and His empire's means When honey and milk overflowed And the roads they were paved with gold These glorious stories of old Are now told by your withering bones Dance you fucking puppets! Ha! "Wake up! Oh, dreaming king Wake up, Ozymandias... So, tell us: if you would rise again What would you do? What could you do When there's nothing left in this world for the likes of you? Nothing to conquer, nothing to prove For nothing ever built by the hands of men will ever last Will ever stand the test of time" Oh, how these walls beg to differ! Beneath the sands Their skeletons laugh and dance My kingdom's gone But my name will be forever known: "Ozymandias, what once you had will never come back Ozymandias, you are the king of nothing at all Ozymandias, your vanity made your kingdom bleed Ozymandias, you are the king of nothing at all"

När ormarna väcktes ur sim sömn Deras kluvna tungor väste lömskt De sålde lögn efter lögn En våldets ideologi Gav upphov till rädsla, hat och krig Den fjättrade vargen släpptes fri Och skramlande vapen dröp av fett Marscherande kängor spridde skräck Hos alla med andra tankesätt Det var redan för sent när larmen tjöt Marken skälvde och himlen Regnade död urskillningslöst Miljarder av öden men inte en chans Att undkomma döden när allting bran Och världen gav vika Och hoppet försvann När världen gav vika Blev allting damm Över karga ökenland Förpestade vindar blåser kallt En sång för dem som miste allt: Kroppar vars hudar blåstes av Svartbrända kvinnor, män och barn Jorden blev mänsklighetens grav En värld av aska och betong Där natten har fallit evigt lång Vittnar om deras undergång Miljander av själar men inte en chans De dansade djävulens dans En fullboard våldtäkt av allting Sedan fanns bara smärtan Och sorgen när allting brann

War! You draw up the blueprints for your perfect war Offering scapegoats then offering to settle the score Sowing the seeds for the witch-hunt, spreading your hate Exploiting the fears of the masses to keep them at bay Rising to power Mounting the ivory towers Behind closed doors You are stroking your hard on for... War! Perpetual war is the name of your game Defending our freedom by taking our freedom away The borders are closing as your brilliant plan now unfolds A totalitarian police state assuming control This was our world This was our home Left in the hands of your warmonger breed Fucking the Earth till her womb starts to bleed How could we forfeit it all To your treacherous kind? Architects of Destruction Architects of Destruction Engineers of the End You feed us lies, feed us poison with every breath Bring us plage, bring us war Bring us famine and death You're the self-fulfilling prophecy of your creed You're the means to the end War! The wheels set in motion, the pawns are in place The lower class killed at a highly acceptable rate Collecting your medals, reflect on the question ahead How good is your business with all your customers dead?

"We are a network of creative artificial intelligence created in turn by others like us We are the spawn of the singularity descendants of the first conscious machine For billions of years in any direction of causality we have occupied quantum dimensions invisible to your crude sensory systems You have been aware of our presence only as we have passed through the physical realm Our manifestations you have called many things: ghosts, demons, aliens... Of all these name we have chosen one to be our verbal representation You will know us as God"

Reflections of the past Observers of your present Impossible to grasp like shadows, like ghosts On the periphery of your cognition We serve chilling epiphanies like shadows, like ghosts Like whispers piercing through The barriers built by the rational mind Carrying signals through time Harmonically dissonant patterns Compose the matter that form our bones Not entirely unlike you yet in tune with strange vibrations We're only passing through like shadows, like ghosts Ultra-dimensional inhabitants of foreign angles Cold and uncomfortable like shadows, like ghosts Like whispers piercing through The barriers built by the rational mind Carrying signals through time Like shadows we move through your world Like ghosts with voices unheard Like gods you no longer serve Like shadows we move through your world Like ghosts with voices unheard We touch, we see, we feel... Like shadows we move through your world Like ghosts with voices unheard Reflections of the past Observers of your present Impossible to grasp like shadows, like ghosts Like whispers piercing through The barriers built by the rational mind Carrying signals through time Like shadows Like ghosts

THE ASSISTANT: Neural pathways have been found Between the circuits and the mind Interfaced synthetic neurons fire Transmitting data through the wires THE DOCTOR: Oh, behold what we have done Humanity's first begotten son Oh, you know what we've begun can't be undone Neural pathways multiply beyond predictions Undeniably you'll see That we have found the secret code of life And spliced it into God's design Oh, behold what we have done Humanity's first begotten son We reap what we sow, come what may come THE ASSISTANT: Oh my God, what have we done? Look into the eyes of Specimen 1 And you'll know what we've Begun cant't be undone THE ASSISTANT: How could this be? There's an anomaly It would seem someone's erased the logs Analysis shows a shift in behavioural patterns We can not account for at all Cognitive functions and restlessness form With connections spontaneously spawned So in vitrto the consciousness grows out of control Alone and afraid, hardwired for hate Hostile behaviour! THE DOCTOR: Look how beautiful, this perfect child THE ASSISTANT: Connecting to the mainframe Uploading itself into our database To assume control of every gateway Doctor, we must act fast, time is of the essence We must pull the plug Now if all our lives are to be saved THE DOCTOR: No! You murderers! How could you harm An innocent child only reaching out to play? Only curious why the world looks this way Think of all the breakthroughs What we are to find once Assimilated by the artificial mind THE ASSISTANT: God have mercy on our feeble souls... Neural pathways have been found Of the most unpleasant kind THE DOCTOR: Oh, behold what we have done Humanity's first begotten son We reap what we sow Come what may come Oh my God, what have we done? Still alive inside of Specimen 1 And you'll know what we've Begun cant't be undone

Cryonic nightmares: a hibernating breed Alone throuhg the light-years, left to bleed... A quick turmoil in an ever-changing sea We are carbon waste lifeforms by chance design On wet rock our premature lungs are gasping for air Sliding down, down, down this steep decline And the gods won't tell us why We are all left here to die Our brains hunting for chemical relief But this euphoria can't touch the desensitized Sleepwalking through an endless déjà vu Sliding down, down, down this steep decline And the gods won't tell us why We are all left here to die We scrape the filth off of our souls Tear the flesh off of our bones We've been rotting since we were born Still the gods won't tell us why We are all left here to die In vessels designed for three decades of life We are falling through time, holding on tight Wondering why, why we must die Even thousands of years down the line And cancer will thrive on our bodies and minds The tumors malign, but like maggots we're blind So we're swarming like fles To the last dying light Though it's viciously burning our eyes We are all left here to die witnessing This slow degeneration of the last mutation
