Theseus Lyrics


Ex umbra in solem, the man emerges

From the festering cesspool of primordia

Through natural selection we kill and fuck

On our way to claim the crown of dominance

Crushing all predators beneath our heels

Our continued survival all but assured

In our perfection the seeds of corruption

Go unnoticed, nurtured through centuries

Deconstructing the human race

Through reversal of genetic engineering

Making way for acceleration

Technological is our evolution

The rigours of life no longer

A further threat to the weak, and the wretched

Let the lowly, abandoned, forgotten

Work their shackled hands, to the bone

To propel our selfish children

To the heights of vanity, and abandon

Let the rich congeal into

A bulbous pulsating mass, of corruption

Join in with the ranks of the elite

In the orgiastic marriage of man

With the cold unfeeling machine

In the wake of the Theseus

Laying waste to the likes of the meek

Render the old human guard obsolete

Replacing God in our hideous image

In the name of convenience

Take flight after Icarus

And set your wings afire

There can be no more disguising, of our instinct

To better our fellow man, at any cost

Conquer your foes and make history

As a personal hero of a smaller pond

The lower class will bottom out

The seeds of vengeance taking root

Preparing to make way

For the inevitable collapse

Surrender your idols

Burn your effigies

The second coming

Has arrived in the digital

Relinquish your rule

Give in to finality

Our species has crossed the line

And arrives in second

The collapse will come

Humankind, undone

Outdone, by ourselves

Obsolescence, our hell

Giving up our status as the supreme

Species to the cult of the machine

Homo sapiens a footnote in history

A blotch on the faded pages of our time

Fading, skulking into the black

We become the study, a modern

Atlantis, a livid race

Lost forever to our offspring

Deconstructing the human race

Through reversal of genetic engineering

Making way for acceleration

Technological, is our evolution

The rigours of life no longer

A further threat to the weak, and the wretched

Let the lowly, abandoned, forgotten

Work their shackled hands, to the bone

To propel our selfish children

To the heights of vanity, and abandon

Let the rich congeal into

A bulbous pulsating mass, of corruption

Join in with the ranks of the elite

In the orgiastic marriage of man

With the cold unfeeling machine

In the wake of the Theseus

Laying waste to the likes of the meek

Render the old human guard obsolete

Replacing God in our hideous image

In the name of convenience
