lyrics

V1
Loving only lust and power
We erect our sacred tower
Engineers and architects
Building toward the final hour

Algorithm of dust and ashes
Crave the stripes from velvet lashes
Digital brains for intellects
Exchanging vision for bytes and caches

Bridge
If evolution’s our destiny
Then why is our trajectory
Regression toward a ruthless mean
To be enslaved by the machine

Chorus
Seeing all
Knowing all
Predicting all
Benevolent means
Malevolent ends
The Machine our god
And to its will we all will bend

V2
Scientists our vested priests
Disregard the weak and least
And with progress as our creed
Fashion image of the beast

Slouching now toward Bethlehem
We reach to grasp the bloody hem
And bow before the great machine
With Herod the holy child condemn
