Enter the Singularity Lyrics

Welcome to the fray

Today is the day

Grasp on reality ebbing away

It ebbs into nothing as senses vacate

Lifelong influx of information abates

Upturning the stone

Into the unknown

For having existed, you now must atone

Closing of curtains

Brace for the fall

But unbeknown to you, there awaits a curtain call

Amalgamate with the Cortex Drive

Digital graveyard, imitation of life

Technology picks up where evolution fell

With the promise you might drink from eternity's well

Sentience at the mercy of a computer

It's the price paid to secure any future

"Afterlife" drops the 'after'

And "life support" becomes just 'life'

You envy the living, soon you'll envy the dead

Adrift from nature's course, you've been lead

The conversion is complete, anatomy is superficial

Natural intelligence has been made artificial

Reluctance to embrace the rising tide

Cyber immortals turn to regicide

Traded all meaning and pleasure to sustain their prime

At least you've bought yourself some time

"Better than nothing" is what they might say

But you won't know until you get there, and there you must stay

Deprivation of a vessel, all is shorn but thought

So dwell on how this strife is all for naught

Once envied the living, now you envy the dead

The take of nonexistence outweighed by what's ahead

The conversion is complete, anatomy is superficial

Natural intelligence has been made artificial

Consciousness upload

Sanity is all that's left, grey matter to implode

Never is perversion without consequence

Physical cognizance: your life's expense

Beyond the event horizon lies purgatory

False rebirth, the simulation is mandatory

All perceptions vicarious

To revel in existence was always meant to be precarious

Paralyzing destiny, one guaranteed

What is it that lies beyond the time men can bleed?

We're contesting order, breaking continuity

To feed the shroud of ambiguity

Farewell to the flesh, for code is this realm

Hands of the living have taken the helm

Once temple for soul, but time took its toll

Now database being bereft of control

Judgment oblique

Amorphous and meek

Technology swallows you, tinting the bleak

Brevity spurned, though it shall return

To find that existing is cause for concern

Once envied the living, now you envy the dead

The take of nonexistence outweighed by what's ahead

The singularity's alloy of flesh and automation

Natural intelligence bygone through our creation

Death is a return that we mistake for a resolve

Adrift from our negation, time's dissolve

A conversion to complete, anatomy is superficial

Natural intelligence, one with the artificial
