Hexen - Grave New World lyrics

It would take a global epiphany to sight Mankind's greatest threat So fixated on his ways he's blind To the damage that will beset Us, the children of technology By automation will be replaced Ascending slopes of dependency From celluloid to cyberspace Open your mind to the subjugation augmenting reality Grave New World, and to think... they'll be the last vestige of humanity Seeping into facets of our lives As gear oil replaces blood Accelerating at an alarming rate Where the conversion can't be undone Artificial Intelligence soon as organic As what was once our minds A time when slaves turn into masters In silicon the earth is enshrined Open your mind to the subjugation augmenting reality Grave New World, and to think... they'll be the last vestige of humanity The "Uncanny Valley" slowly disappears Nano-processors take the place of eyes and ears The essence of human lost in translation; As we transform into our own creation Day by day harder to avoid Having built what cannot be destroyed No matter how tight we clench our fists We'll still drown in the digital abyss Open your Eyes - For what's soon to befall We cannot prepare... Grave New World - The once inanimate Is now living, breathing, sentient and self-aware
