Wet wires circled around your neck Sewn into the vision you forsake And as you clear the fog around me You'll find a new obscurity A requiem for the initiative A charge to keep against all which is offensive Upgrading amok, as luxuries breed Technological fumble in immortal speed A vow of obedience is programmed in a card I play the last of options, and the final note is hard The random lights and cryptic writing spell the coming end Of all that is humane, and what you'll never understand By the future you once own Stolen by the neon pantheon You've divided and you conquered well Led every single brain to fail The engines of comfort moan with a sigh As another victim falls prey to their lie Unreachable memories of days long past In a giant machine never built to last
