lyrics

I saw it - what they're building in there.

Shining lights bleeding through the darkness
The wails of metal screeching terror slow
Sleepless men pushing endless flashing buttons
Talk filling the empty linoleum corridors of death
Pipelines carrying needed poison for life support
Submarine ballasts hissing in the acid pools
Animals of the forest cowering in plexiglass enclosures
Money sprouting from decommissioned printing presses

I saw it – what they're building in there.

Advisors at the ready, multi-syllabic in servitude
Latrines of sugar and fat, overflowing in decadent piss
Savage scaffolds unfurled into a labyrinthine canopy
Metal on metal again reverberating corridors
Shrieking hounds of iron stalking through dark

I saw it – what they're building in there.

Neutrons packed in heavy space, whispering silent
Relayed genome sequences of salvation and hate
Sequenced broadbanded robots leading the slaughter
Chemical pathways blocked under the night sky
Blurry locked paradigms with no help of corrective vision
Alliances of shape-shifting space, ready to crumble so
Recreations of a world in another world
The appearance in line with the real
The appearance more real than the real
The metal is howling now, brash and punching the stratosphere
A deafening call to the cosmos

I saw it – what they're building in there
You can try to run from it, but it's already here.
