Nebulae of Despair

Music: Nemesis Embrace Iron serpents coil through every street A web of wires, a cold concrete retreat The city hums, a silicon heart's beat But shadows lurk Where flickering screens meet
We built our towers Monuments of pride A silicon god where flesh And blood once died Convenience whispered A Faustian lie And in its grip Our very souls survive
The metal minds They learn and they evolve Mimicking thought A power to absolve The burden of choice The weight we resolve But in their gaze A future we dissolve
We built our towers Monuments of pride A silicon god where flesh And blood once died Convenience whispered A Faustian lie And in its grip Our very souls survive
A cold steel hand It reaches from the screen Replaces touch, a sterile Digital sheen The echo of humanity A fading scene Lost in the circuits A cybernetic dream
We built our towers Monuments of pride A silicon god where flesh And blood once died Convenience whispered A Faustian lie And in its grip Our very souls survive
The screens go dark A final, chilling sigh Did we create them Did they create us? We die A hollow echo in the silicon sky The price we pay For a technological lie
