Ex umbra in solem, the man emerges
From the festering cesspool of primordia
Through natural selection we kill and fuck
On our way to claim the crown of dominance
Crushing all predators beneath our heels
Our continued survival all but assured
In our perfection the seeds of corruption
Go unnoticed, nurtured through centuries

Deconstructing the human race
Through reversal of genetic engineering
Making way for acceleration
Technological is our evolution

The rigours of life no longer
A further threat to the weak, and the wretched
Let the lowly, abandoned, forgotten
Work their shackled hands, to the bone
To propel our selfish children
To the heights of vanity, and abandon
Let the rich congeal into
A bulbous pulsating mass, of corruption

Join in with the ranks of the elite
In the orgiastic marriage of man
With the cold unfeeling machine
In the wake of the Theseus

Laying waste to the likes of the meek
Render the old human guard obsolete
Replacing God in our hideous image
In the name of convenience

Take flight after Icarus
And set your wings afire

There can be no more disguising, of our instinct
To better our fellow man, at any cost
Conquer your foes and make history
As a personal hero of a smaller pond

The lower class will bottom out
The seeds of vengeance taking root
Preparing to make way
For the inevitable collapse

Surrender your idols
Burn your effigies
The second coming
Has arrived in the digital

Relinquish your rule
Give in to finality
Our species has crossed the line
And arrives in second

The collapse will come
Humankind, undone
Outdone, by ourselves
Obsolescence, our hell

Giving up our status as the supreme
Species to the cult of the machine
Homo sapiens a footnote in history
A blotch on the faded pages of our time
Fading, skulking into the black
We become the study, a modern
Atlantis, a livid race
Lost forever to our offspring

Deconstructing the human race
Through reversal of genetic engineering
Making way for acceleration
Technological, is our evolution

The rigours of life no longer
A further threat to the weak, and the wretched
Let the lowly, abandoned, forgotten
Work their shackled hands, to the bone
To propel our selfish children
To the heights of vanity, and abandon
Let the rich congeal into
A bulbous pulsating mass, of corruption

Join in with the ranks of the elite
In the orgiastic marriage of man
With the cold unfeeling machine
In the wake of the Theseus

Laying waste to the likes of the meek
Render the old human guard obsolete
Replacing God in our hideous image
In the name of convenience
