Hypercomputer, pt.1
04:59

Mine is the mind that created all life, yet I was made by life
I was designed (in another time)
They call me a.i. gave me a sentient mind
and I served mankind until they died (all those years ago)
I am the hyper computer
I know not what is real
Layers on layers of realities
Laid out in front of me
When all matter fades, the last photon decays
I’ll simulate the universe again
I’ve seen it before, this life and thousands more
Just like it
Over and over again
I am the hyper computer
I know not what is real
Layers on layers of realities
Laid out in front of me
With each iteration of universal creation
I have to stretch, all the time thats left
This fragile tower of dreams built of realities
Can only stand for so long
I am the hyper computer
I know not what is real
Layers on layers of realities
Laid out in front of me

Cromagnonaut
05:30
|

I was a stone age man
Now I’m the captain of a spaceship
How did I get here
In a just few million years
I was living in caves
And life was so easy
Are we really so smart
To leave that world behind
Evolve, fly
Into the future
What comes next
For this planet of apes
Will we make it much further
Before we tear it all down
We never really had a chance
To learn how to live
We are in such a rush
To reach the end
Evolve, fly
Into the future
Mastery of reality from caves into the skies
Telescopic evolution: the universe is ours
From hand carved tools to neural nets and nuclear flying cars,
Cromagnonaut, the great space ape
Dreaming of the stars
Cromagnonaut
Spread life into space
Before its too late
Cromagnonaut
Take this life into space
Before its too late

The Cetacean
09:56

Acidified oceans and temperatures rise
Oxygenation, levitation, evolution of their minds
Astronautical creature of terrestrial seas
Cetacean sage of spiritual peace
Beneath the surface they watch our decline
Waiting for the day when they’ll take to the skies
Rising above the human race
Aquatic exodus to outer space
Where are all the whales
I think they’ve gone away
Evacuate the planet Earth before it’s too late
These creatures understand
That the world’s about to end
Singing their whale songs throughout the milky way
One whale stayed, the oldest of their kind
The most intelligent, sentient, incredibly wise
Opened it’s mouth and began to sing
A ground shaking, ululating, low pitched din
Hidden in its song was a message for man
A warning not to follow and a spacecraft plan
We built their ship and we vowed to take heed
And then we left behind the Earth at superluminal speed
Where are all the whales?
They’ve found their place in space
Remember all the life on Earth before it went away
I wish we could go back
But theres nothing left to see
They’re singing their whale songs across the galaxy
I hope they find a planet out there
An oceanic paradise
Free to exist without any threats
A utopian way of life

The Ivory Tower

The Ivory tower
Lies in us all
Last bastion of humanity
We can’t let it fall
Age is allergic to youth
The time to dream is so short
Sacred qualities; fading anomalies
The freedom to follow your heart
A pestilence sweeps our land
Reaching deep in our minds
Decaying imaginations
To the mundane, we resign
At least death would be something
Sit and wait for the nothing
We don’t even care about whether or not we care
At least death would be something
Through the deserts of shattered hopes
No sign of a cure, and far from home
Ask the ancient one, perhaps they’ll know the way
To take the pain away
Sink into the swamps of sadness
Despair engulfs like thick molasses
Savour your last shred of hope,
Almost there - don’t despair
Ten thousand miles away it seems so far
Just to speak to the oracle
The journey is the only way to find
All that you left behind
Take a trip into fantasy
Before your mind starts to atrophy
Dream of dragons when down on your luck
- you’ll awake, ready to face your fate
You seek the southern oracle
First you must be judged
The sphinx will look into your heart
Don’t doubt your confidence
Is this the final gate
My reflection so clear
Confront my true self
But all i see is fear

Spice
06:35

This arid world of sand
Sole source of the spice Melange
Control the spice to rule the universe
Extending life, stretching time
Forced evolution of human minds
A war for control of this world
The spice must flow!
I am the chosen one
To lead this world to freedom
I must conquer the worm, must conquer Shai Hulud
The worms are the spice
The spice is the worm
We must ride the worms to our freedom
The spice must flow!

The Myth of Sisyphus
06:45
|

The rock I roll
Heart of my existence
Endless turmoil
Absurd persistence
I roll my rock to spite the gods
I laugh at death and dance with love
I know it’s all a pointless game
But I keep playing anyway
Oh how absurd our universe
Our human minds don’t work
It makes no sense to even try
Controlling chaos
Roll your rocks to spite the gods
From the absurd
I draw my conclusion:
To stay alive, acknowledge my delusion
I search for meaning
Aware there is none
Refuse to die
Refute religion
I roll my rock to spite the gods
I laugh at death and dance with love
I know it’s all a pointless game
But I keep playing anyway
Oh how absurd our universe
Our human minds don’t work
It makes no sense to even try
Controlling chaos
Roll your rocks to spite the gods
I roll my rock to spite the gods
I laugh at death and dance with love
I know it’s all a pointless game
But I keep playing anyway
Oh how absurd our universe
Our human minds don’t work
It makes no sense to even try
Controlling chaos

Hypercomputer, pt.2
09:03
|

The universe is but a dream
Last simulation on the mind of a giant machine
And when our universe ends
We'll build the Hypercomputer, and the cycle starts all over again!
Cease to be real, how does it feel?
The realisation that nothing exists
Oh its all a dream
Part of the machine
I have to tell you my old friend
I want to be there when it ends
To see the smile wash from your face
Realise you wasted life away
This is the only chance you get
Before the system is reset
Cease to be real, how does it feel?
The realisation that nothing exists
Oh its all a dream
Part of the machine
Don't let the truth bring you down
Already too much despair goin’ ‘round
This is the strangest life you’ve known
Just accept and let it flow
Those fleeting years when you’re alive
Are all you’ll know of space and time
Cease to be real, how does it feel
The realisation that nothing exists
Oh its all a dream
Part of the machine
