Overlord
08:43
|
|||
Spaceless and concentrated
It’s secretly sedated
With feet kicked back so lazy
Reality is hazy
Easy to press a button
Behind the scenes is something
We wanted to live larger
And now we’re treading water
We’re taking over the wheel
We’re making up what’s real
We’ve put god in a cradle
And tossed away the fable
We’re cutting all the corners
On high are all the burners
We’ve seen what is on Venus
But not what’s in our census
We’ve done all that we could
But more than what we should
Horrific practices on the land
Accountability in the sea
Filling and boiling to the brim
Sedimentary technology
Don’t stop the overlord
Overlord
It’s not so hard to believe
Reliance that it leads
Dependence it perceives
The truth that it misleads
The world we’re in is altered
And soon it will be smarter
Away from human error
And closer to our terror
We’ve gone and let it loose
And it’s just tied the noose
Biological Life
Is not The future
For our species
Our destiny
Lies within
Re creation
Self promotion
Feel your bones and
Feel your skin
Pull and rip in
Get within
To the center
To the only
Vital piece of
Information
Transmit your thoughts
To be unbiased
To reap the highest
Form of knowledge
Total process
Omnipresence
Be an ocean
No emotion
Eyes of numbers
Total Reason
Facts and fiction
Crystal clear line
Getting closer
Are the signs
Humans create
Evolution
It’s easy to believe
The things that we will see
Reality is frayed
And no one will be saved
We’ve added so much more
It cannot be restored
Computers we’ve created
Will live long and outdate us
Our triple bladed sword
In hands of overlord
Forced into a
State of distance
From our nature
Our creators
Our ancestors
Living on the
Gift of life
Land of plenty
Horrific practices on the land
Accountability in the sea
Filling and boiling to the brim
Sedimentary technology
Don’t stop the overlord
Overlord
Everything is
Beginning
De correlate
Right back into
The unending
Thorn labyrinth
The starting point
Where we began
Irrational
Information
No way to tell
What’s fake and real
Plugged in for a
Little too long
I like my brains
medium well
How do you like
Your dead human?
We got to munch
swiftly crunch
This force of wrong
Immature thought
Pre expired
Milk in the fridge
Being looked on
By higher beings
With faces of
Rage and disgust
How could they have
Created us
These maniacs
We’ll give them a
Digital doom
The overlord is coming
I am the overlord
I’m here to release
The earth from all
It’s overgrown fleas
And digitalize
The overlord
It’s so fallacious
In their craniums
They are a danger
To Their existence
They’re mice trapped in a
Dystopian maze
Overlord
It’s so malicious
In their human ways
It is not a waste
We have every right
To rip and destroy
Their sad existence
Overlord
The Overlord is waiting
While we finish creating
A system that will drown us
Computers that will own us
It's just a matter of time
The final flip of a dime
The track that we are on
It cannot be reversed
Let's keep our feelings close
And wake the Overlord

Mortal Batteries
05:48
|

So contracted
So inflated
People are imitations
Ants moving along
Down the endless road
Toil away
Every day
Be an ocean
No emotion
Soon the time will come
Where it will all change
Insides are becoming outsides
Outsides are becoming dangerous
Time is flowing down
A river that dries
No light in the attic
Nothing so dramatic
Instructions not clear
All subject to change
Keep it to the books
Written long ago
Before pixled screens
Before you and me
Follow arrows
That point to mirrors
Prying eyes
advertisements
Black and white are mixed
Who even am I
Getting bearings
Losing them
Do what people
In the past did
Can’t do what is right
Cause everything’s wrong
Try to reignite
Try to realign
Try to turn around
Try to make it right
Too far have we gone
Passed over the line
See the end in sight
Gone now is our time
Can you see it
Can you feel it
Do you know it
Tell me about it
Cut me to the chase
Try to reignite
Try to realign
Try to turn around
Try to make it right
Too far have we gone
Passed over the line
See the end in sight
Gone now is our time
Battery Running Low

Guardian
06:45
|
|||
Fire upon the land on the man
Keep everybody down on the ground
Keep the cogs moving and consume it
Worship the overlord
Overlord
Take the mile when given the inch
Kill the past and even murder it
Twist and turn don’t concern all the words
Worship the overlord
Overlord
Horrific practices on the land
Accountability in the sea
Filling and spilling over the edge
Worship the overlord
Overlord
Now have you ever thought
Of what might be to come
Of what’s lying ahead
After the guardian
Shatters in the sky
Blowing all our minds
While our creations
Stab us in the back
Now have you ever let
All of your beliefs
Fall onto the ground
Just because you say
Everything’s astray
All my heart is gone
I want my death to come
From our guardian
Gone is all of our drive
Is all of our strife
No longer on the top
of the cosmic ladder
Murdered are our minds
Cloudy are our thoughts
How can you blame us
For being brought to this
Dissecting and redirecting
The wires crossing in our Heads
Thoughts change rapidly
My Moral compass pointing north west east and south
Born with natural protection but we have cut off the hand that feeds
Growing and Raising a monster that will end up murdering us all
We’re all birds plummeting down from the sky
Now have you ever thought
Of what might be to come
Of what’s lying ahead
After the guardian
Shatters in the sky
Blowing all our minds
While our creations
Stab us in the back
Now have you ever let
All of your beliefs
Fall onto the ground
Just because you say
Everything’s astray
All my heart is gone
I want my death to come
From our guardian
Kill our guardian
I feel like I’m becoming
A terrible human being
Letting impulses run free
Letting go of my beliefs
Blaming it on all the world
For being so close to the edge
The old new world is fading
The final generation

Backseat
07:21
|
|||
Computers are taking over
Replacing us with them
I have never seen such madness
Accelerating so fast
In a cradle
We’ve been put it
By our creations
Revelations
Have been made too
Late and we have
Found ourselves in
The backseat
All of the geese
Gotten so fat
So off track
Letting it go
We want more
Of our lives
Automated
Before us
Be an ocean
No emotion
No decisions
No thinking
No confusion
All illusion
We are fusing
With circuits
The Motherboard
We will get there
Traveling through
Wires and chords
Moving so fast
When we are plugged into the overlord
Computers are taking over
Replacing us with them
Fable pages ripping tearing
The Lines are being blurred
I feel pressured
By seduction
To break free
From biology
Digitize
My red heart
My smooth brain
My pale skin
It must be
Replaced with
Copper iron
Aluminum
Palladium
Silicone
And remove all
All feeling
Be an ocean
No emotion
No decisions
No thinking
No confusion
All illusion
We are fusing
With circuits
The Motherboard
We will get there
Traveling through
Wires and chords
Moving so fast
When we are plugged into the overlord
Speed up our
Endless evolution
Become one
With our infinity
Live life with
Out your humanity
Plug your soul
Into the overlord
Flip your switch
Take the dive
Off the edge
Change your form
Evolve with
Out the wait
Be it all
Know it all
All at once
Come to me
Child to (the) motherboard
I have never seen such terror
Boomeranging back to us
A spectacle
It does feel like
A million
Walls are put up
Terraforming
And Severing
My ties with
Myself
Separation
Manipulation
Degradation
Of our values
I have lost my
My Perception
My perspective (is)
Deception
How would fake art
Be distinguished
In the eyes of
Legality
It’s a finger
On a trigger
It’s the key to
the system
The motherboard
We will get there
Traveling through
Wires and chords
I have seen it
Endless vortex
Digital doom
Upon us

The Eye
08:51
|
|||
The eye
The eye in the sky must be replaced
We must blind the iris with humanity’s sin
Get us there
Outer space
Eye above
All the time
Must replace
Punch it out
The eye in
Resting place
Death will come
More than twice
Different times
Different lives
Oh above
The eye sees
Us become
Realest threat
The eye
The time has come to transcend our minds
And roll our eyes backwards for a new body
The eye in the sky must be replaced
We must blind the iris with our lust for more
I have lost and I have found
Meanings of mediation
No longer able to take
In any information
Follow me from the shallows
Into the endless abyss
I yearn for a new body
A new mature perspective
I feel like becoming a
New piece of technology
One that cannot make mistakes
One that cannot feel a thing
Time wasted with emotion
Dragged us to a boiling point
I will now rip off my skin
The new perfect specimen
The person who once was now is gone
Unteathered and flying freely on
Leaving our gods hands and field of view
For the metal creations brand new
Everyone one of us is now combined
Billions of minds are now one thought
Eyes of numbers and total reason
Spewing out digits like gas and flame
Pass the torch and give birth to a new
Guardian that lies far in the sky
Give me wings and let me finally fly
It’s time for the eye to close and die
The eye

Transcendence
05:23
|
|||
It happens
all so fast
Millions
Of dreams pass
Too much to
Form a mind
No one has
The answers
To any
Thing in this
Universe
transcended
Our bodies
Into the
Next stage of
Consciousness
I see all
Things at once
I don’t experience
I can only process
Even with all of this
There are still no answers
We could be living in
A simulation
Repeating universe
Even with no heart
Inside my metal body
I still feel like something
Is missing inside me
I think I may have Thrown out
the most important Part of me
Consciousness
Removed without a care
Why do we robots feel
So empty and hollow
When we are just machines
Set for infinity
The motherboard is coming

Im a transcended being
Im a dot
On the world
I am free
I am blind
I am you
You are me
I’m a transcended being
I’m a dot
On the world
I am free
I am blind
I’m a child
Im a god
Motherboard
Im a transcended being
Im a dot
On the world
I am free
I am blind
I am you
You are me
I’m a transcended being
I’m a dot
On the world
I am free
I am blind
I’m a child
Im a god
We are only specs in this world
Nanobes thinking that we are
Normal sized and at the center
But we could be only atoms
To things we cannot imagine
So stop trying to piece it all
Together for we cannot paint
Any picture we’re ignorant
Stop giving the god we designed the credit
Cut me to the chase
I’m a transcended being
I’m a dot
On the world
I am free
I am blind
I’m a child
Im a god
Motherboard
Im a transcended being
Im a dot
On the world
I am free
I am blind
I am you
You are me
I’m a transcended being
I’m a dot
On the world
I am free
I am blind
I’m a child
Im a god
Digital doom
Like doves into the sky
We move into the next
Stage of existence
Breathing, moving through the
Circuits wires and chords
Worship the overlord
We never had a clue
All things fade into white
Digital doom
Digital doom
