about

The singularity is here and artificial intelligence has become self-aware. An angst-ridden tale about the day the robots and computers took over and humanity was extinguished. A jazzy/folkie prog-rock ballad.

lyrics

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

Hailing from Krypton with a mission to play art-rock with both progressive and electronic tendencies. In our music the late 60s meet the alternative 90s with hints of nordic melancholy, pop sensibilities and avant-garde longings.
