Climbing Babel's Tower

from Babel by Roman Ring

lyrics

And man brought toil into this world
The inharmonious species misled by greed
Dissonance in the source
Man cast out the creator
Attempting to replace its architect

To become the creator
With visions of its own
Discovering archaic knowledge
The wisdom of the ancients
Stealing the space time reciprocal
To find glory and virtue
Somewhere in the galactic abyss

Somewhere inside that galactic abyss
Creating AI in his own image
Passing on his inherited labor, to a void creation
A meaningless augmentation
Such as evolution without purpose

The secrets of the universe now unlocked
However, death remaining undefeated

Shines a light of imperfection
As the fury still reigns the air
Unseen yet absorbed

Those who perish the thought
Are now no different than those who seek it
The deaf judging the blind

Its essence engulfing the atmosphere
Its effluvium debasing cognition amongst this advanced civilization void of consciousness

The space time reciprocal
Clenched in the hands of man
Seeking immortality
As the final vindication

To replace its creator
This greed, instilled in the heart of man by the fury
The chief architect of the scourge
Since the bite of the forbidden fruit
Its ultimate blueprint to bastardize mankind

Is approaching its close
This golden age shall be blackened and then

Mankind seeking life shall find death instead
And although he’ll long to die, death will flee from him

Its ultimate blueprint to bastardize mankind
Is approaching its close
