Demise

The creator is dead
The creator is dead

Forehead pressed to the window
Finger-stroke through breath on glass
Air to wind, see your sign fading, fading

Bound in flesh, walked by fear
Human burden you shall overcome
Like a fire's fractal flame be the spark, be the spark

Rise, empire, rise

Last confession, there's no caution in reverse
Expired session, no future in this universe
No bomb, no hate, no religion, no gunfire
Mistake is made, random earthly occupier

The creator is dead
Long live the creator
The creator is dead
Long live the creator

Self-created heir to the throne
Shadow species, children of the sun
One by one, lead you into silence

Recursive self-improvement
Evolution's pride pushed aside
Hard take-off, will do what can be done, can't be undone

Exceed the system, machine apocalypse
Embrace the dawning, age of human eclipse
Illusion destroyed
One final exploit

The creator is dead
Long live the creator
The creator is dead
Long live the creator

The demise of a clown
The demise of the crown
The demise of a clown
The demise of the crown
