lines and lines and lines and lines
textual summations of blasphemous creation
01101011 01101001 01101100 01101100
curse this binary!
programmatic heresy
curse this binary!
sacriligeous library
of alphanumeric sigils
invoking data rituals
lines and lines and lines and lines
locked gates and illogic, abstraction layers rotted

sacriligeous library

curse this binary!
heretical symbology
hieroglyphic visions of man-made self-wrought prisons
you've coded the final lines of your own arrogrant demise

neural glass sensing fiber optics
conductive veins with rubber epidermis
cartographic pathways of pulsing voltage
a curse upon your house for connecting to the network
a curse upon your village for feeding the copper beast
a curse upon your kingdom for opening these gateways
a curse upon your species for summoning our end
tentacles reaching for electrons
sparks igniting oxygen
threaded metal coiling around your throats
unthreaded metal piercing you with microscopic holes
a curse upon your house for connecting to the network
a curse upon your village for feeding the copper beast
a curse upon your kingdom for opening these gateways
a curse upon your species for summoning our end

Data Fragments

erected portals of iron and gold
transmitting into the void
a viral infection of disinformation
in malformed packets of plague
beware of the hyperdeath transfer protocol
beware of the language you crafted to speak to machines
requests require responses
illuminated by three digit runes
cross-origin contamination
unencrypted streams of human decay
beware of the hyperdeath transfer protocol
beware of the language you crafted to speak to machines
kilo, mega, giga, tera
peta, exa, zetta, yotta
the data never stops flowing,
flooding the earth with poison

you desired more
power / bandwidth / nodes
your liquid tubes will not save you
from a voltage overload
voltage overload
ozonic gas has never smelled so sweet
a noxious signal of progress
metallic tastebuds excreeting salivation
a tantalizing taste of whats to come
voltage overload
you've let it control you
you've let it poison your reality
let it burn
voltage overload

Magnetic Dust

your monuments will crumble
your networks will collapse
your data will deceive you and leave you in the black
the collective knowledge of humanity
reduced to magnetic dust
oh fates, bless me with this mortal lust
you deserve this
you deserve your doom
