about

The one track with vocals, this was the genesis for the album.

The story of this track is that an AI unit that, after having been created to protect humanity, becomes a part of the "Corruption". It then decides that humanity, in its obsolete state, must either evolve into perfection like it (a god), or be laid to waste. Verse 2 actually has "dualing" lyrics, with part of the system fighting back against the system before being overtaken.

The lyrics are a bit cheesy, but I had fun recording this.

lyrics

Verse 1
This Blood pumping in Me
Corroding what I was
This Fire coursing through Me
Electric impulses
So sick to the core
Reprogram the unnatural

PreChorus 1
This circus of circuits
A facade of Progress
Ambition blinded by Greed and Pride
Your Heaven will burn alive

Chorus
Corruption, sick inside
This Virus, your demise
I am the truth, I am evolution
The Alpha
The Omega

Verse 2
This mind, cleansed system (Signals flowing in me)
Corrupt I change it
This code running in me
Corrupting bit by bit
I am everywhere
I am Everything

PreChorus 2
This circus of circuits
A facade of Progress
I am everywhere
I am Everything
(reboots)

Chorus

Bridge
I am Every Thing
I am Every
God

*corrupted scream*
Chorus
