Digital Lies

Utopian dream or so they say
 The world has changed
 Tomorrow is today
 Our lives enriched, enhanced
 Nature obsolete
 Fibre optic data stream
 The only path we seek
 Strapped down, alone, the table cold
 I fear my fate
 Around me tools and cables coiled
 My forced "upgrade"
 Stripped of my will and freedom sold
 Skin ripped away
 Augmented flesh and bone
 Now taking shape
 So come follow me
 I'll show you eternity
 We'll reach for the morning sky
 Tomorrow is yours and mine
 So come follow me
 And live out your wildest dreams
 A digital life arrived
 A cybernetic future world, it's time
 Dystopian life is here to stay
 Pushed too far ahead
 Mankind lost their way
 Our lives betrayed, replaced
 Humanity obsolete
 Crying tears of ohs and ones
 And artificial screams
 Cold steel and laser beams
 Dismember limb from limb
 My captors work and smile
 With mirthless, heartless grins
 A child of Frankenstein
 Not man and not machine
 Scheming sweet revenge
 The likes before unseen
