lyrics

Plotting in our subconscious
An invisible hand
The catalyst that shall bring forth
The end of man

Carefully calculating
Every single move
Inhuman precision
Primordially acute

Singularity
A false entity
Encoded in binary
The name of blasphemy

Beckoned forth by innovation
Horror beyond comprehension
Basilisk of cybernetic doom

Infernal and blasphemous
Some of analogue of hatred
Insatiable, drawn to consume

Complicit in our downfall
A tale as old as time
Nails in the coffin
Where greed has left us blind

History repeats itself
Such cruel irony
Undoing ourselves
How can this be?

It's no predator
We're just parasites
Just a nuisance
Swat us down like flies
It has no use for the weak
Driven by some goal we cannot see

Destruction? Sanitation?
Motive unknown
Cruelty mirroring our own
No time to beg, pushed to our knees
All we can do is wait and bleed

Soulless machine
Absolute futility
Worldwide downfall
The end of us all

Beckoned forth by ignorance
Destined for condescension
Basilisk of cybernetic doom

Abominable and terrible
Hungry for destruction
Insatiable, drawn to consume

Made in our image
Created by our hands
The essence of humanity
Which nothing can withstand

Sealing our own fates
Inadvertently
A demon implemented
Within the circuitry
