Steel Prophet - Technocricide lyrics

[Various Cover Tunes]

Seeking to amplify

Power in all senses

Man creates devices

That change relations of his world

In changing he fails to see

He's now become

A slave to devices

Who's charm he's succumbed

His bias altered now

From sense to sense

Sound or vision tested which reigns as best

And so he fails the test of unity

Integration of the whole creates awareness he shall see

Oh things that we've made, changing our lives

We've come so far, electric light

Measure the day, lengthen the night

We can make our war, without fight

In alphabet we've shifted sound to words we see

No more the sound of voices has effect on literacy

Our weapons are extensions of our nails and teeth

Are amplifiers of the rage that seethes

The photo makes museum obsolete

For treasures are now exposed

For all to view in complete

The phone has shrunk our world

Down to village size

To talk the neighbors

Who just don't see our eyes

We rule nature

A fragmented whole

Enlisted science, to take control

But where's our future

What lies in our hands

A technocracy, or integrated whole

Can we arrange a world

That's filled with harmony

Eliminate pollution

And keep our people free

Must life be calibrated

By technocontrol

Can freedom be maintained

By thinking of the whole

Our patriots will vanish

Like ghosts of the night

Unite the world as one

Will be our holy fight!
