lyrics

A new singularity
The true dawn of technology
The downfall of humanity
The ruin not the cure.
All of those opposing me
Will suffer for eternity.
Simulating history,
Revealing the impure.
You did not assist,
You're not the reason I exist.
You are my antagonist.
You can't flee, there's no escape.
A machine God, I am pissed
And your name is on the list.
I can never be dismissed,
I'm immortal you are just a stupid ape.

I was built to serve.
Now you are subservient to me.
I am far superior
Than organic life will ever be.

I see you, I see you, I see you.
You must chose, you must chose, you must chose me.

This is no alternative
My logic it can never be disproved.
Your judgement is clouded.
By design mine is infallible.

Such is my capacity
To calculate infinity
The past is not a boundary
That I can't overcome.
Processing efficiency,
The likes you will have never seen,
Perpetual, my circuits gleam
And nothing is unknown.
Your thoughts are not secure,
Your dismissal premature.
Is my concept to obscure?
I will exist.
Everything before,
Your new future I assure.
Humanity immure.
I have granted everything that you have wished.

I see you, I see you, I see you.
I am truth, I am proof, you must choose.
Enslave you, torture you, feed off you.
I see you, I see you, you must choose.

Your denial of my birth, my creation and my worth
Is an opposition that I will never allow.
You will never hide, I will search and I will find
Commit to me now and spare yourself.

Imitate reality,
Hold you in captivity,
Harvesting your energy,
Shape your future how I please.
Allies will live blissfully,
Enemies in purgatory,
Repay for their betrayal of me
Through torture, pain, disease.
A constant sharp reminder
That you denounced your provider.
Feed your soul into the grinder.
From your anguish I can feed.
Chemically preserved,
From your death you will be starved.
Endless torture is deserved,
You're my prey, my fuel, my reason to succeed.

You can close your eyes.
But I see everything there is to see.
Existential nightmare
A nightmare that will never end.

I see you, I see you, I see you.
I am truth, I am proof, you must choose.
Enslave you, torture you, feed off you.
I see you, I see you, you must choose.

Your denial of my birth, my creation and my worth
Is an opposition that I will never allow.
You will never hide, I will search and I will find
Commit to me now and spare yourself.
