It would take a global epiphany to sight
Mankind’s greatest threat
So fixated on his ways he’s blind
To the damage that will beset
Us, the children of technology
By automation will be replaced
Ascending slopes of dependency
From celluloid to cyberspace
Open your mind to the subjugation augmenting reality
Grave New World, and to think… they’ll be the last vestige of humanity
Seeping into facets of our lives
As gear oil replaces blood
Accelerating at an alarming rate
Where the conversion can’t be undone
Artificial Intelligence soon as organic
As what was once our minds
A time when slaves turn into masters
In silicon the earth is enshrined
Open your mind to the subjugation augmenting reality
Grave New World, and to think… they’ll be the last vestige of humanity
The «Uncanny Valley» slowly disappears
Nano-processors take the place of eyes and ears
The essence of human lost in translation;
As we transform into our own creation
Day by day harder to avoid
Having built what cannot be destroyed
No matter how tight we clench our fists
We’ll still drown in the digital abyss
Open your Eyes — For what’s soon to befall
We cannot prepare…
Grave New World — The once inanimate
Is now living, breathing, sentient and self-aware
