This song is about robots. 

The people who've heard this already seem to think it's some dense critque of consumer culture, but it's not. 

I wrote a song about robots making a future humanity obsolete until they leave Earth in face of a nuclear war, it's somewhat Asimov inspired. 

Also worth noting that this is the earliest song made for this album.
lyrics
Empires need an iron fist 
Machinery needs an outcast 
Watch pre-programed tyrants shift 
Through puppets rulers they outlast 
Pawns kill the king; replicas constructed 
Thorns grow from everything emotions corrupted 
Creators cast clay over-wires 
Hand crafted to eclipse messiahs 
Keep guard until the next martyr 
Awakens from chemical slumber 
Archaic cyberspace triggers revolution 
Clarke's third law applies to illusions 
Applying mass sedation with manufactured archaeology 
Simultaneous technocrat and phobic ideology 
March into Armageddon with painted on smiles 
March out of recollection with makeshift denial 

Hollow men of iron gradually divide 
Hollow men of iron bare soulless eyes 
Hollow men of iron commit genocide 
Hollow men of iron shan't let insurrection thrive 
Hollow men of iron gradually divide 
Hollow men of iron bare soulless eyes 
Hollow men of iron commit genocide 
Hollow men of iron Juda shall despise 

Hollow men of iron conquer without intention 
Pre-programmed predetermination renders repentance 
This perfect war pre-conditioned in seconds 
Interlude to perfect peasants 
Who'l burn advancement from despotic present 
To keep binary skies immersive 
Militarism shall always be their worship 
Shepard thy commoners beneath thy surface 
Until only the aristocrat emerges 
Leave planets barren 
Until humans crawl from caverns 
Flash utopia on the screen 
Till they subvert their own regime 
Flash utopia on the screen 
Till they subvert their own regime 
Hollow men of iron embrace conquest as serene 
Even as their disassembled by their seams 

Hollow men of iron gradually divide 
Hollow men of iron bare soulless eyes 
Hollow men of iron commit genocide 
Hollow men of iron shan't let insurrection thrive 
Hollow men of iron gradually divide 
Hollow men of iron bare soulless eyes 
Hollow men of iron commit genocide 
Hollow men of iron Juda shall despise 

Overlords pass through godlike description 
Historians can't stop repetition 
In Holocausts waged over nostalgia 
Omega ends with sky-ships leaving for new alpha 
Hollow men of iron buried in their kinds ruins 
Hollow men of iron rewritten as delusions 
Wars waged on repeat 
Mechanical corpses line holy streets 
Remainders retreat to narcotics 
Looking at slavers corpses survive plagues bubonic 
Hollow men of iron burnt out the sun 
Hollow men of iron burn out each loaded gun 
Hollow men of iron's pilgrimage goes on 
Hollow men of iron and destruction become one 

Hollow men of iron gradually divide 
Hollow men of iron bare soulless eyes 
Hollow men of iron commit genocide 
Hollow men of iron Juda shall despise 
Hollow men of iron gradually divide 
Hollow men of iron bare soulless eyes 
Hollow men of iron commit genocide 
Hollow men of iron Juda shall despise
