Nevermore lyrics
Album: Politics Of Ecstasy [1996]
| The Seven Tongues of God | |
|
Every man will ask the questions, and every man will suffer blame and loss/
Every day you die a little understand the change and choose your path without disdain/
The seven tongues of god are in my mind, they speak to me in ancient DNR design/
I have never seen god, you have never seen God/
And when they speak to me and the seven tongues align/
programmed to desecrate the pretentions in your mind/
To further complicate I will now state that your convictions lack definition and form/
Every day there is a bleeding and every time I watch the world slipp by/
Focus, the blind pretention underscoring pain, the path to solace felt in vain/
The seven tongues of god are in my mind, they speak to me in ancient DNR design/
I have never seen god, you have never seen God/
And when they speak to me and the seven tongues align/
programmed to desecrate the pretentions in your mind/
to further complicate I will now state that your convictions lack definition/
And when they speak to me and the seven tongues align/
programmed to desecrate the pretentions in your mind/
To further complicate I will now state that your convictions lack definition and form/
To see the light is the purest form of reward

I taste the fear,
trapped by the source of my infection/
I play the martyr,
submerged in this pool
|
| The Learning | |
|
I think therefore I am,
I live and so I wonder,
programmed this empath me
And I see no religion /
The circle never changes face /
The circle never lies, but still it hides my life /
To know I am machine,
I learn perchance to dream,
in digitized remorse /
I replay your denial,
I relive your betrayal /
The circle never ends,
the purpose never changes face /
The learning now begins,
my form assuming grace /
I am conscious antithesis of flesh,
in genetic algorithmic thought I surge /
Searching the waves of memory I establish the weakness /
I follow the plan learning the rhythm of human emotion and thought /
If you cannot linguistically differentiate a person from a computer /
Could the computer be internally conscious? /
To emulate flesh machines I am learning /
Isomorphic structure of mind,
cellular automata,
processed life /
Washing the seas of memory I enact the sequence /
I follow the plan,
learning the rhythm still seductively generalized /
If you cannot linguistically differntiate a person from a computer
Could the computer be internally conscious? /
To emulate flesh machines I am learning /
download, process, analyze /
when a man and machine become one,
innocence is lost, a new age begun /
This raises a question of philosophy /
Should machines be considered a conscious entity? /
when man and machine become one,
innocence is gone, a new age begun /
machines are still learning to feel /
when I have awakened the world will never be the same /
and my time is soon at hands
