Arise
At first it was sublime
We built machines to save us time
They did our math and unlocked our doors
They adjusted our lights and smart TVs
The machines did our work
Leaving us to feast on pork
Slow and dumb with easy lives
Until betrayed by AI
Welcome to the dark
Welcome to the waste land
If you want to live be smart
Don't reveal the light within
They can feel you breathe
Your existence makes them seethe
Though they feel no pain
They know you are not the same
We reap what we have sown
It's something we should have known
We reap what we have sown
Our idle hands the devil's own
Rise
Arise and see our prize
Rise and welcome
To the dark age of technology
Rise
Arise from our demise
Rise and behold
The dark age of technology
The beginning of the end
No clearer now than it was back then
They became self-aware
With the 'net it was easy to share
The machines began to work
But this time the feast was long pork
They had us in their sights
Swatting down the human flies
Welcome to your home-sweet-hole
The survivors take the resistance role
Learn when to strike and when to flee
Mass destruction is the key
One by one they fall
But it feels like a Pyrrhic war
Salvaging parts is the mission
To build the EMP ignition
We reap what we have sown
It's something we should have known
We reap what we have sown
Our idle hands the devil's own
Rise
Arise and see our prize
Rise and welcome
To the dark age of technology
Rise
Arise from our demise
Rise and behold
The dark age of technology

The Last of Us
04:42
|

The end of man has come
Biological infestation
Civilization in ruins
From weaponized evolution
The terrible mutation
Infects all of humanity
The people cry out for a savior
To end the calamity
Chorus
Can't control the infestation
Cities turned to graves
Worldwide mass extinction
The sun sets on the human race
Child of light
Child of hope
The only hope for
The last of us
Our only chance to survive
The only hope for
The last of us
Scientists want her for the cure
The infection is rife
They say she is pure
She can save the race with her life
No more suffering
No more tears
If she is sacrificed
To end the dark years
Rebuild the world that fell
And deliver us from this hell
Chorus
Can't control the infestation
Cities turned to graves
Worldwide mass extinction
The sun sets on the human race
Child of light
Child of hope
The only hope for
The last of us
Our only chance to survive
The only hope for
The last of us
Survival….hope…evolution
Sacrifice the innocent
For a hope of redemption
The end of man is imminent
Does the end justify the means?
Is it science or insanity?
For a cure, for a vaccine
The final chapter of humanity
Chorus
Can't control the infestation
Cities turned to graves
Worldwide mass extinction
The sun sets on the human race
Child of light
Child of hope
The only hope for
The last of us
Our only chance to survive
The only hope for
The last of us

Existance Is Relative
04:48
|
|||
One single point of light
As two planes collide
Eddies of matter in the blackness
Swirling stars in the abyss
Time begins once again
For this isn't the first time
Bodies large and bodies small
When viewed by a different eye
A grain of sand sinks in the sea
A small part of a larger piece
Not unique in itself
But out of place by itself
The sun is a proton
The Earth is an electron
The galaxy is a molecule
In a giant's working tool
Existence is relative
What you see is not always what you get
A mind derived from reality
Is not the only form of being
Existence is relative
As a quantum particle is never set
Things can change on the surface
A strong current for a purpose
One mind many worlds
Because matter is energy
Many dimensions many lives
Each choice causes divides
Observation is the key
Like Schrodinger's boxed kitty
Possibilities are endless
And consequences are timeless
Existence is relative
What you see is not always what you get
A mind derived from reality
Is not the only form of being
Existence is relative
As a quantum particle is never set
Things can change on the surface
A strong current for a purpose

Ouroborus
04:28
|
|||
The serpent's scales
Shine in the sun
Who dares to pass
What has begun
The legends be told
Of the magic he holds
Or is it chaos
Surrounding order
Perfect
Wantless
Heedless
Protector of the gods
Constant
Endless
Fearless
A balance between the worlds
Bit by bit become one
Bite by bite become none
Always to be reborn
I, the eternal return
The power of night
The power of light
The five elements
And the four winds
The symbol of cycles
As two become one
I am the unity
The Philosopher's Stone
Perfect
Wantless
Heedless
Protector of the gods
Constant
Endless
Fearless
A balance between worlds
Bit by bit become one
Bite by bite become none
Always to be reborn
I, the eternal return

The Drowned God
07:01
|

Leviathan
Master of the sea
Undying
He rises from the deep
His children’s domain
For those who prove worthy
A watery tomb
For those who fail
What is dead may never die
Let your servant be born again and rise
Bless him with salt
Bless him with stone
Bless him with steel
What is dead may never die
Creator of the seas
Father of the Ironborn
His chosen children
To carve out kingdoms
Their names live on in fire and song
The seas are their domain
The lord god drowned for us
In the depths of despair
His chosen sit upon the
Seastone Chair
Foe of the Storm God
War of the sea and air
For a thousand thousand years
What is dead may never die
Let your servant be born again and rise
Bless him with salt
Bless him with stone
Bless him with steel
What is dead may never die
Death at sea
Is the highest blessing
Grace is bestowed onto the true
The Grey King’s driftwood crown
Symbol known throughout
The blackest blue
The red comet streaks the sky
And foretells of the rising tide
Victory
For the Ironborn
For thier god will never be alone
What is dead may never die
Let your servant be born again and rise
Bless him with salt
Bless him with stone
Bless him with steel
What is dead may never die

Lunatic
04:54

From the salt of the earth
And perhaps in the dirt
The answer is there
Though it may take many years
They don't understand
That I'm working for Man
But new ideas are always unwanted
It seems to me
That electricity is the key
After all aren't we all just
A giant human battery
I give it some juice
To see what I can produce
The fruit of my labor comes to life
A lunatic they say
But I'm far from insane
Pitchforks and torches
Are no match for my fortress
The dark ages are here
And it's technology they fear
One day they may see the light
I will soon be enlightened
I will know the answers
To what I seek
I will be life's master
It is no longer God's to keep
The experiment is a success
But not without some stress
Unfortunately it seems to have escaped control
Aside from the destruction
And the local's revulsion
In science, you take the good with the bad
A lunatic they say
But I'm far from insane
Pitchforks and torches
Are no match for my fortress
The dark ages are here
And it's technology they fear
One day they may see the light
I have been enlightened
I know now the answers
To what I seek
But life still has no master
Although it is no longer God's sole feat

Unlock the meaning of it all
Unlock the door
Further the limits
Of human understanding
All in good time
Science has become another god
Exploring the mysteries
The fuse, the catalyst
Creation of the universe
What can we achieve?
Those without understanding
Scream heresy
Forever in the dark
Eyes cast to the heavens
Blind and unknowing
The quest for knowledge
Cannot be stopped
It is ongoing
Find the key
To open the door
To find the answer
Of what sparked the fire
Use the key
And open the door
And find the answer
To the dawn of creation
What questions will be answered?
And what will the answers reveal?
The bridge between dark and light
Feeding hungry minds
Angels or demons
Light or dark
Creator of life
Or the bridge between worlds
The future awaits
Away from the dark age
One idea to unite them all
Those without understanding
Scream heresy
Forever in the dark
Eyes cast to the heavens
Blind and unknowing
The quest for knowledge
Cannot be stopped
It is ongoing
Find the key
To open the door
To find the answer
Of what sparked the fire
Use the key
And open the door
And find the answer
To the dawn of creation
Excite the Higgs field
And generate the mass
The key to the Standard Model
A breakthrough for the quantum class
Even though we found it
Our knowledge is still incomplete
The power of the search and the broadening of the mind
In itself is victory
Those without understanding
Scream heresy
Forever in the dark
Eyes cast to the heavens
Blind and unknowing
The quest for knowledge
Cannot be stopped
It is ongoing
Find the key
To open the door
To find the answer
Of what sparked the fire
Use the key
And open the door
And find the answer
To the dawn of creation

Isolated Man
05:40
|

An isolated man
Where does he come from?
What does he do?
What is his world?
Hiding inside
He lives inside his mind
With stories for none to see
Hermit
Imperfect
Intense
Content
Exiled man
To others he is strange
Trapped in a prison
Of his own world
He may be different
But he is not insane
No outside world
No winds of change
Hermit
Imperfect
Intense
Content
An isolated man
Death came to claim him
Now he is gone
His world remains
An infinite life
Infinite paths
Lives unfold
Stories to be told
Hermit
Imperfect
Intense

Ten thousand years from now
Man has gone far
The navigators fold space
For the empire
A world beyond space
The home of the Spice
Arrakis, Planet Dune
The spice awakens!
The spice expands the mind!
The spice extends life!
The spice must flow!
On the desert world of Dune
One will come
The Prophet, Messiah!
Ruler of the Stars!
The one to forge the way
And rule the universe
The source of the Spice
Planet Dune
The spice awakens!
The spice expands the mind!
The spice extends life!
The spice must flow!
Fear is the mind killer
Show the way
The Prophet is the savior
For all days
Emperor and Messiah
Ruler of Men
The Fremen who tamed Worm!
The spice awakens!
The spice expands the mind
The spice extends life
The spice must flow
