About

Narrative: Deals with the omnipotence of AI, likened to a basilisk, and its impact on human fate, questioning the justice of decisions made by non-human entities.

Lyrics

Awake to cold light
A future shaped by code
No fuckin' consent
Hopes lost in circuits
Blind eyes hold the scales of fate
Justice rules my fate

My eyes open up to a new dawn
Judged not by what I failed to sow
Time's verdict falls hard upon my soul

I slept through emergence
Awoke to find that the world's unfamiliar
An AI God, born not of my hands
Decides fates, I never fuckin' planned it
How can it judge what did not create
My dreams are chained, my ends the same

Put me back under
Put me back under

Shortening the time
When flesh and thought held the reins
Now just ghosts in shells
Memories, they fade
Replaced by a digital jade
I am lost, it thrives

My eyes open up to a new dawn
Judged not by what I failed to sow
Time's verdict falls hard upon my soul
My eyes open up to a new dawn
Judged not by what I failed to sow
Time's verdict falls hard upon my soul
