None of Them Knew They Were Robots Lyrics

Mendel's machines replicate in the night
In the black iron prison of St. Augustine's light
He's paying the bills and they're doing him proud
They can float their burnt offerings on assembler cloudsThe new Franklins fly their kites
With omega point in the sight
And the post modern empire is ended tonightFrom history
The flood of counterfeits released
The black cloud
Reductionism and the beast
Automatons gather all the pieces
So the world may be increased
In simulation jubilationFor the deceased...
Spray-on clothes and diamond jaws
Wrinkles smoothed by nanoclawsWith my machines I can dispatch you
From this world without a trace
Our nostalgia ghosts are ready to take your placeContent-shifting shopping malls
Gasoline trees and walk-through wallsNone of them knew...As I watch the dead rise up out of the earth
I feel the gray goo boiling my bloodTry to hide from the lies as they all come true

Deus absconditus
Deus nullus deus nisi deusI feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As the fenris wolf slowly bites through his chain
Try to hide the myth as it becomes a manNone of them knew they were robotsBuying an X or an O
Cats game for Joe Blow
In state craft tic tac toeA binary hug or kiss
Post industrial bliss
Can be wrung from utility mistThey stole the great arcanum
The secret fire
Moloch found his gold
For the new empire
Once again
The necrophage becomes saintLindy hop around the truth
Jump back wolf pack attack
Swingin' up there in the noose
Jump back wolf pack attack
Slap back white shark attack
Slap back white shark attack
Phased array diffraction netsFrom full-wall paint-on TV sets
Migratory home sublets
And time shared diamond fiber setsRecombinant logos keysBitic Qabalistic trees
I feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As leviathan and his bugs freeze the seaTry to save the world by immolating myself
The flood of counterfeits released
From history
The black cloud
Automotons gather all the pieces
The resurrection of the deceased
In simulation jubilation
For the builders
So the world may be increased
Of the body of the beast
