What is this place that surrounds me?
Pitch black abyss, overwhelming
Mould the world to my design
I am king; this world is mine
We were blind to see the truth
Distracted by the virtual view
We're wired up, connection severed
Now we're cursed to live forever
I'm frozen, unconscious, immortal
I've signed the line: the terms of my surrender
I'm broken; in darkness, distorted
I'm left behind, and now the world is getting older
Trapped in this world of your creation
Punishment for the sin of omniscience
Our cross to bear: can we repent?
Forgive us now we are aware
Our future sealed, we succumb
There's no-one out there to save us from
These holding cell, your barricade
Denying us peace of the decay
I'm frozen, unconscious, immortal
I've signed the line: the terms of my surrender
I'm broken; in darkness, distorted
I'm left behind, and now the world is getting older
I'm frozen, unconscious, immortal
I've signed the line: the terms of my surrender
No motion, in absolute zero
To fate I've resigned, and I can't get much colder, colder
Kiss goodbye to the world you've known, now you're just a shell
Regret to reap what you have sown: This Digital Hell
You've failed to look one step ahead, now we have taken hold
No-one for you to answer to left, so we assume control
Remember when we didn't fight?
Free to see the world outside?
Oceans blue, pastures green
All is left is all unseen
I'm frozen, unconscious, immortal
I've signed the line: the terms of my surrender
I'm broken; in darkness, distorted
I'm left behind, and now the world is getting older
I'm frozen, unconscious, immortal
I've signed the line: the terms of my surrender
No motion, in absolute zero
To fate I've resigned, and I can't get much colder, colder
