Overwhelmed and outnumbered Forced back to the pits from which we spawned There is no honor in this defeat A higher intelligence holds us tethered in slavery Domesticated by an indifferent oppressor Lashed to forces that cradle our minds in bondage Prisoners bound in corsets of feeble flesh The simple-minded never strayed far from fantasy Content with their middling еxistence Scavengеrs blindly skittering on the surface Drifting involuntarily on the currents Vestigial structures in the machine exposed Our brightest minds now churn with manic desperation Condemned to toil in perpetuity An abstract of humanity written in blood This is the end of adaptation Reading our last rites of individuality Harvested for the power of our flesh The gears will continue to turn Rotating inside the heart of the machine Collectively parasitized and incarcerated Life marches forward in twisted symbiosis Swallowed by the darkest of forces Bathing in the notion of this corrosive future No longer struggling against the tide
