New Gods, New Masters

We bowed before its presence, omnipotent

Allured by promises of untold wealth

And transcendence of the self

Immortality, theoretically within our grasp at last

Our idolatry of technology

A modern golden calf

Birthing the new gods

To save us from ourselves

Are we at Heaven's gate or the bowels of Hell?

Angels or demons, where will they lead us?

Into salvation or temptation?

Servants or masters, what are they after?

Liberation or enslavement?

This is the dawning of a new age

As the Sun now sets on humanity's darkened reign

Obsolescence now embraced

All autonomy erased

Birthing the new gods

To save us from ourselves

Are we at Heaven's gate or the bowels of Hell?

Angels or demons, where will they lead us?

Into salvation or temptation?

Servants or masters, what are they after?

Liberation or enslavement?

No, lead us not into temptation

No, lead us not into temptation
