lyrics

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...
