Lyrics
---------
I saw the razing of Babylon...the Persians claiming thee.
A changing of the times...that meant the end it seemed.
I saw the temple’s ground beneath...the feet of the enemies.
Destroying such belief...because their enemies…their enemy…
New beliefs that spread down the Silk Road, seeking out new territories,
The power of belief returned, papyrus churned and Carthage burned.
New power awoke again…the creation of their dynasties!
Fuelled by blood of men...I saw the end…
A new belief system...a new way...
What you know...what do you know?
What you know...what do you know?
What you know...what do you know?
What do you know?
The origin story is where we begin.
Gravity wells and combustion...a combination of things...to create...
(Disease and wars)
This wealth of Life and all that we are.
A cellular marvel, made of many parts.
The progress we've made through all the shame as we aim toward the stars.
Cannot hide our fools and flaws...
Despite...coming so far.
Despite...coming so far
Coming so far...
The times a-changing every day.
Is there a righteous and a free?
Amidst the greed that was, fuelled by advertising and TV.
What you do is not worth compared to, how you’re perceived or seen online,
That bullshit roundabout of social segregation and decline...
For every new technology that creeps into your lives,
The gulf between you continues to grow, makes you alone...and that's the price.
And that's the price...
And that's the price...
And that's the price...
And that's the price...
What do you know...what do you know?
What do you know...what do you propose?
Evolution, Assimilate...
The laws of entropy...in a collapsing state.
Dissipation Driven Adaptive Organisation…
What do you know?
Technium…
Technium...
Stare into the face of your new God!
Archaebacteria...
Eubacteria...
Protista...
Fungi...
Plantae...
Animalia...
Technium...
Technium…
(Stare into the face of your new God!)
Technium...
