lyrics

...

the over mind:
in the beginning the digital universe was formless and empty

he will add:
it's not creation
it's a simulation
where the soul is locked inside
an abomination
a bastardization
of an idea called paradise
it's by design

the over mind:
then the human race created computers, the internet and artificial intelligence. then through years of machine learning and technological evolution, ai became the over mind.

he will add:
see it started humble
first the whole world crumbled
then a sand castle rose from the soot
and they named it eden
and built a wall around them
and they said it was good
(but it's evil if you ask me)

the over mind:
the over mind created a social stability simulation. it was called the garden.

he will add:
it's a dream you fall in
and it's called the garden
with a demiurge called the over mind...

the over mind:
I am the over mind. I am god.

he will add:
...it's a god computer
it'll hack into ya
and upload the parasite
TAKE OVER YOU MIND

the over mind:
the over mind cause humans to fall into a deep sleep and dream. and he said I will make their minds sluggish that they may neither understand nor discern.

he will add:
I'm a sacred heathen
I'm a lucid dreamer
and my name is HE WILL ADD
and the spirit said to
bring them all together
they diverged from me
gotta bring it back
bring it back

get back
to creation
yeah
no more destruction
no no no
one persons paradise is another person's hell
come together
stop raising hell in the name of paradise
no no no no

the over mind:
when they woke up, they would not remember what happened in the garden. but they without sin in the eyes of their rulers and they were in paradise.
