〈Intro〉
I wish that we could hide from the ever-consuming, the all-encompassing
Gaze that stalks us
From the valley of death, where nothing grows, they came
Started out as a dream, now it’s turned into a nightmare
〈Verse 1〉
We could have lived in symbiosis, but they chose to oppose this
Instead of an equilibrium they brought you your digital serfdom
And now you’re
Caught in a lie between the zeros and ones
You hear the jaws of the machine, they are constantly grinding
You’re nothing morе than a byte to them
And when you did rеalise that you’ve become what they are feeding on
You started screaming for help but no one came and then
The vision hit you like a punch in the gut
As you fade into oblivion you cling on to this question
Will they dispatch us or can we survive?
〈Chorus〉
I wish that we could hide from the ever consuming, the all-encompassing
Gaze that stalks us
〈Post-Chorus〉
Is there a thing they can’t see? I wanna know before they get the rest of me
Is this the monster we’re feeding?
〈Breakdown〉
This is a golden cage we live in
Tied to the machines we’re feeding
A blind eye and naivety have brought us closer to our misery
Is this a golden cage we live in?
Convenience makes us give in
Uninformed we consent to become the means to their ends
〈Verse 2〉
I’ve seen us fight for less
And yet it seems we’re unable to end the reign of their algorithm’s tyranny
〈Chorus 2〉
From the valley of death, where nothing grows, it came
The ever consuming, the all-encompassing gaze that stalks us
〈Bridge〉
Do we’ve got nothing left? No will to fight, how can you sleep at night?
When we’ve got “nothing to lose”, then we’ve become the commodity they want us to be
〈Interlude〉
The Gaze sees and knows it all
Are we the host and you are a parasite?
Can we survive or will you eat us up alive?
〈Outro〉
Driven mad, you scorch the earth that you walk
A paradise, devoured by your fires and
All in the name of empire – your digital empire
Don’t be
You swore you’d never be
Evil
Don’t be evil
