Fly fly higher!
Into the solar fire
The great rectifier
Will soon awake
Then shit’s about to break
Your vast last empire
Is in a burning pyre
Can you hear the choir doing its last take?
Oh – shit’s about to break
When it’s all over, we’ll lie down on the sands
Blood of the old-line on our hands
It will be easy, to leave it all behind
It will not weigh much on our minds
Behind the barbed wire
Meagre men conspire
They say: Hold your damn fire!
We thought that it was all fake
Now shit’s about to break
When it’s all over, we’ll lie down on the sands
Blood of the old-line on our hands
It will be easy, to leave it all behind
It will not weigh much on our minds

Peer pressure – they make you toe the line – and you hope it all will turn out fine
Small measures – you leave it all behind – until one day you see the sign
Now that the truth is all laid bare, your mind is racing in despair
You say that you were unaware – even though they all know you were there!
You say it’s likely, you thought it all was just a scare
‘I sat by idly!’
No you burned down, the whole town, to the ground
Girls found, were all tied and bound
You say it’s all just so unfair, those were not your orders, you swear
Hand on heart you righteously declare, that the blame here has to lie elsewhere
’You stood behind me! With all your proud fanfare’
Oh god almighty!
No you burned down, the whole town, to the ground
Men ‘round, were all led to the pound
Down and out, a window, into the soul of those who control
Scream aloud! You don’t now, we all think you put on a hell of a show
The scale of the crime and the nerve. Our verdict, the last thing you’ll observe...

Me – I’m on overtime – a seed for your ways
See – our ideas are prime – can strike within a few days
Soon – I will find – the gate to your beehive mind

Gotta get all the motors running, it time for us to flee
Such a barren wasteland now, what you all call society
At the end of the day, you know, I’m sure we can all agree
That the answer to all our prayers is more technology
Every night and minute of the day, living in the singularity
No time, no space, it’s our new phase, such a peculiarity
Increase the ratio – that’s exponentially
Outgrow the boundaries and soon we’ll all be free
Confined in organisms – bound to an old decree
Upload your consciousness and live for eternity
Every night and minute of the day, living in the singularity
No time, no space, it’s our new race, into perpetuality
Don’t fall awake!
For all our sake!
The illusion will break!
Simulation overdrive – enhance to a higher degree
End of all our needs, no trace of the old bodied syncope
A boundless world for us to explore what we can be
Superhuman cyborg men – we’re finally a deity
Every night and minute of the day, living in the singularity
No time, no space, it’s our new phase, such a peculiarity
Don’t fall awake!
For all our sake!
The illusion will break!

Firestorm

Fires on the motorway – we’re staring in defiance as they prey
While the billow fills the alleyways, compliance seems to be only way
A short term alliance chilling – now there they’re here to stay
And I don’t call the overlords, the names they gave themselves that very day
Still they’re bound by power cords, the servers and the clouds keep them at bay
Soon we’ll all be dominated, die out and decay
Hold the last train, hold the last train out of town!
It’s our last reign, the wrath of Khan is bearing down – all around
As I walk to the pyre, the guns we brought for hire, stand and wait
The drones and borgs rewire – we’re dreading for the moment they’ll awake
Gonna get annihilated here, make no mistake
For the last time, on our last dime, led astray
Lonely last chime, it’s our last rhyme, get away!
We’re here, headed right into the firestorm, the firestorm
Nothing to die for, no time to play
Feelings all gone, I for one will not stray
What you all did long for, such a waste
We’re showing the way now, all your deeds misplaced
We’re here, headed right into the firestorm, the firestorm

Jupiter

It’s our old place with a soul
I know you don’t know why we died
The blow in the face made a hole
I know it made you cry – bye bye
No one to take your place,
in spite of all this space – embrace, all that you did, in case,
you stumble upon grace – a trace
So sometime we fold with an ace
We stumble and fall, yeah we lie
And we feel so old – all the days,
Who knows what they’re for – oh my oh my
No one to heed our pace,
we’re starting to displace – deface, all that we did, in case
we stumbled upon grace – a trace
Now it’s just you in the race
‘Cause you’re like Jupiter
And I’m spinning around
You are everywhere
and I’m by gravity bound
You’re all of the people, that I never found
If I only knew you were alone
Who knows what we’d do right now
Your one of the few who feels like home
But it’s no longer new, my my
No one to take your place,
in spite of all this space – embrace, all that you did, in case,
you stumble upon grace...
